Notice for voting: Naturally, only one vote is allowed per person. If a vote is entered under a username not matching with any from the Discord then it will be discarded. If one username has multiple voting forms filled out to it, the owner of said username will be contacted to confirm which form is theirs and the others will be discarded. All answers will be compiled, averaged out, and publicized except for username for the map creators to read.
As a bonus here is my map that I added as a bonus to the pack. Please do note that this map is not qualified to be a winner. The form is merely for my own growth and amusement. Regardless, I do hope you can take the time to fill it out.

Rad. Wish to see Unholy and Ragestacle since those are my favorites, but it's alright. I look forward to being there and playing as many of these as I can!

[MAPPING EVENT] Mega Mapping Marathon $100 PRIZE
Hello! I am swarm9999, the host of this event. Mapping events have always been my favorites so I have decided to host my own. Welcome to the event, Mega Mapping Marathon, a class mod-focused mapping event with a small grand prize of $100! This is an event with a unique community based voting aspect, so I hope many of you decide to participate as mapper or spectator!
What is Mega Mapping Marathon?
As previously mentioned, this a mapping back focused on classes. There is no theme, so you may map to your imagination's content. What makes this contest special is the voting system.
How it works
Each map is scored from 1-10 on 3 categories. Layout, Aesthetics, Functionality. At the end of the event, voters will fill out a google form to submit there answers. A written review (may be brief) is required for each map.
-Layout
Layout includes the shape of the map, the flow of the map, spawns, or anything affecting the gameplay of the map. This includes gimmicks and props and how they contribute to the map.
-Aesthetics
The maps textures and music.
-Functionality
Are there any bugs? Are there pit protect lines where there shouldn't be or missing ones where there should? Are any scripts broken? Questions like these that are answered with "no" will result in reduced points. Just remember, lag may not always be the maps fault so please keep that in mind.
Deadline and participation
The deadline will be December 9th at 11:59 PM PST. You have to submit you maps before then, so don't dilly-dally! I plan to host more mapping events in the future and perhaps other events to, so I have made this server to serve as a hub for this and future events. Here is the link: https://discord.gg/PKf7P3hrb3
You have to be in the Discord to map or vote.
Why handle voting this way?
Well simply because I thought it would be fun and also I personally haven't really seen anything like it before. Another reason is that I want to see who will make a good judge, who has a passion for mapping. I hope to hold future contests with a set board of judges and higher money winnings. If you are interested in being a judge, deep reviews of maps is something that will put you on my radar, but if you are not interested I plead with you, don't hesitate to make good deep reviews as you can always say no if I ask you! 😊
RULES
1. Maps must follow TSPG guidelines.
2. All maps must have Aircontrol 0.5
3. Every pit must use the 8bdm "Hazard Pit" prop and be surround by pitprotect lines.
4. All maps must have 16 Team Wily and Light spawns and 8 Team Cossack and King spawns.
5. All voters are only allowed to submit one voting card each. Any voter caught submitting more than one card will 6. have their original and subsequent votes nullified.
7. Mappers are not allowed to vote.
8. Contestants may not discuss progress of their map outside of the designated Discord channels or with non-contestants.
9. All maps must be submitted before the deadline of December 9th, 11:59 PM PST
