The Big Tournament 2013: Stage One deadline is over

By ShoCkrecord holder Tournament #2 VIP··Tournament
The submission period for the Stage One: Mapping is now finished.



We hoped that the submissions will be increasing as the deadline is coming up day by day, but unfortunately the initiative we have gotten from mappers is as low as the possible minimum, which did obviously leave us disappointed. However, this amount is enough to continue the tournament and the maps are pretty dope. So prepare yourselves for the results of the opening stage while we're testing the maps out more carefully. The results will be announced as soon as the maps are checked in-depth in the upcoming newspost of the current newsline.

Submitted maps:

tbt_dart by hm^
tbt_LondonStation by Blake`
tbt_nonentity by qui

Have a nice time, it will not be a long wait.

There are always factors that keep one away and the other closer such as taste differences. It's simply impossible to please each and every.

Won't it be possible to get a glimpse/teaser/preview of the maps somewhere?

I hope the maps will be checked by the start of next year. My finger got tired of all the scrolling through the list.

Textures interesting but very difficult to use if you have no imagination, for example: use a texture for the red wall into metalic texture etc.

I hope it will not take too long.

simple "you can use up to X custom textures in your map" could help. some motivation (other than using your map in next stages) could be great too, but well, i'm sure you thought about that so nvm. city theme is good in terms of using in next stages of the tournament but can be really disappointing to map (+textures again). i think that might be another reason for small amount of maps submitted. just hope i wont be dq'd or take last place -_-

Well, the amount of maps you got is pretty small, i expected more but we should be lucky by this. This is first version of tournament maybe next time will be more. Gj all of you guys, i haven't played yet these maps but i hope they are all good, since they belongs to very skilled mappers. kkz, nice time of posting. L337

dunno why but i`m not surprised by the number of maps submitted. the only thing that does surprises me is that there is no "newschool" mapper :( and there are many of them(seen on cosy) with great potential..

a bit disappointing considering how this could be on par with the world cups that quake 3's defrag community hosts every other year or so. hopefully there's some solid competition on the recording and moviemaking side of things.

Well, I am not surprised that it was only 3 maps. I noticed immediatly after the tournament was announced that the textures would be a problem. It's not that the theme was bad, it's only that the choice was very poorly chosen. Especially for a tournament you want a lot of people to participate to. Since a city theme is rather hard to work with, in my opinion.
