The Big Tournament 2013 - End of Stage 1/Start of Stage 2

By ShoCkrecord holder Tournament #2 VIP·
Hello XJ!

We hope that you are still warm to hear again from The Big Tournament 2013 and are of any interest for it. We have good and bad news concerning the submissions. Unconventionally, I'll start off with the bad ones. It turned out that out of the three maps that we received for the contest, only two have made it to the list. The dismissed map did not meet a set minimum and was not made accordingly to the rules. The good news, however, is that the accepted maps are quality made and are pretty fun to play. Experience them yourself.

kz_tbt_nonentity qui



Challenge: Average-hard

bkm_tbt_LondonStation Blake`

tbt_dart - hm^ dismissed

Gj for the new "kz" tag map :)

09/04/2013 22:41:00

gonna check the maps!!

09/04/2013 22:43:00

dismissed?????

09/04/2013 22:49:00

gj all

09/04/2013 22:55:00

Once again, a mysterious statement that is only revealed to hm^ and other admins....

09/04/2013 22:57:00

gj , nice to see new kz maps ;)_

09/04/2013 23:23:00

[b] kz_tbt_nonentity[/b] is great and gonna try [b]bkm_tbt_LondonStation[/b] tomorrow. GJ all. Feel kinda sorry for [b]hm^[/b] tho :(

09/04/2013 23:24:00

great maps

09/04/2013 23:42:00

kz_tbt_nonentity is a good map. Nicely done qui. bkm_tbt_londonstation is a nice looking map, but the whole map is rendered at once with that style of construction of the environment, so i have 50-40 fps on it and thus, cannot play it whatsoever. Cool idea tho' Blake. tbt_dart by hm^- dissmised. Why? Shouldn't there have been an explanation? And moreover, shouldn't there have been a third place nonetheless?

09/04/2013 23:54:00

Beside hm^'s map I don't understand something and I don't see it explained. What categories and what trickjumps? How are the trickjumps going to be evaluated?

10/04/2013 02:15:00

ROFL hm love the idea! :D:D

10/04/2013 05:22:00

It's challenging!

10/04/2013 05:35:00

I hate hard map ,all of them

10/04/2013 06:53:00

gj qui :3

10/04/2013 07:22:00

tbt_dart - [b]hm^[/b] dismissed [b]wtf?[/b]

10/04/2013 14:32:00

[blockquote]How are the trickjumps going to be evaluated?[/blockquote] That's a little ambiguous since there is no clear definition of what the trickjump is and where is the septum that divides good trickjump from the worse, so just use your imagination and do the trickjump you feel is good. Evaluation is going to be managed by independent jury with the voting system. [blockquote] What categories and what trickjumps? [/blockquote] "You are only allowed to record one demo for each category (trickjumping and/or map recording) on the map you choose on your discretion." which means the stage consists of trickjumping and map recording (best run time on the map). [blockquote]And moreover, shouldn't there have been a third place nonetheless?[/blockquote] Following the set rules, third place may or may not have a place, although I wish we had. For the other map related questions wait for the mapcheck team's feedback as I'm not aware of all the details that were discussed.

10/04/2013 15:05:00

I loved to play kz_tbt_nonentity. I did not expect to see something so beautiful created with those textures, and also creative and fun jumps as always. Well deserved first place for [flag]RU[/flag] [b]qui[/b]. Congratulations. I don't get why tbt_dart was dismissed. Hm^ had a great vision on the map. Very simplistic and using textures on a very unique way. Good job hm!

10/04/2013 16:35:00

Why the hell would you dismiss hm's map when it even deserves 1st place? Btw awful fps on london_station

10/04/2013 17:13:00

I bet that a dcj 280 awp 3 spins will win the trickjump comp. Nice maps btw

10/04/2013 17:40:00

[quote1365608395=bkZ|PsYxOpAt] hm's map was denied, because it didn't meet our requirments. Althought he used the textures from the .wad file and the idea is nice, we can't accept such a bad map, where the textures a scaled to 50+ for X and Y axis and without a single detail. [/quote1365608395]

10/04/2013 18:45:00

blake's map is the best ever lol. 23sec :|

10/04/2013 20:06:00

kz_tbt_nonentity is an awesome map, enjoyable sight and atmosphere, also creative jumps with way of challenge, just like it :) if only londonstation was without that sc. and hm's map is ok, ez bhops,maybe just too simple and not so entertaining. in all, this 1st step may be not good enough, if only more mappers joined.anyway the expecting tournament steps on, gj and gl, cant wait to see some epic battles.

10/04/2013 20:32:00

gj qui but qui's map use the other texture with XJ wad file, the rules is only XJ wad file. I missed an episode ?

10/04/2013 20:33:00

xj doesn't deserve hm^s map the way they are treating them, lol.

10/04/2013 21:02:00

Blake`, i was allowed to use few custom textures (like "-->" and some other text) when i contacted admins and explained why i needed it. and i believe you could do the same.

10/04/2013 21:22:00

Is to late for me :)

10/04/2013 21:47:00

imo hm^'s map is damn awesome, just imo :) btw where is the Blake's map sc?

10/04/2013 22:59:00

<deleted>

11/04/2013 00:15:00

so let me get this straight.. you completely dismissed a mapper's work from the competition because he broke a few small (i say small because you guys are so cryptic in explaining anything) 'rules'? so the same guys who aren't even competent enough to find a massive shortcut in one of the accepted maps figured this was the best possible option to take? look, first off you completely disrespected hm^'s hard work in trying to create a fresh, exciting map for people to record on and denied it simply for broken rules. if this was a competition in a flourishing community with many mappers eager to win a prize and have their map showcased then I wouldn't be giving you guys so much shit. but the fact of the matter is that there were a bare minimum of three maps sent in the first place. i find it hard to believe you guys can't just accept the map when it was clearly popular with everyone. the least you could of done was compensate hm^ and his work with the third place prize. does anyone lose anything if he is still awarded for his efforts? not from what I see, considering there were only three maps submitted. not to mention the fact that you could of just gave an exception in the first place with a punishment of a locked third place. but yeah I get it, you guys don't want to be 'unfair' or look weak by granting exceptions. i'm sorry if I came off hostile towards the admins or map checkers, but I felt this deserved some kind of response in regards to the overly strict dismissal of hm^'s map. [b]also I made this without knowing the complete details so if they are ever released I will apologize if it makes anything I said void[/b] whatever, i'm bitter. (hm come to kzmod like phinx said)

11/04/2013 00:39:00

Qui , awesome map dude jumps are so fun and nicely made I took a screen of my time .. it's kinda bad since I didn't know where to go lol [link=http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9641/2013040900004.jpg]Slow But Fun[/link] Exact time was 17:53.55 blaahhh And London Station , great map blake my only problem was why so small ... would of been awesome if it was a little longer . But still fun maps Gj

11/04/2013 00:43:00

Also I couldn't download your map hm^ sendspace doesn't like to work for me . when I click on the link it opens and closes the tab so can you upload somewhere else? I want to play it

11/04/2013 01:31:00

[blockquote]Hope you will switch to kzmod soon because you and i can clearly see how your work is not appreciated here.[/blockquote] Don't push it that far. hm^ is as much welcomed here as the other mappers who put efforts in their creatures and contribute to the community which is highly appreciated. But that doesn't mean that every effort must be paid, there is a set minimum on how the map should look like and the case did not meet requirements, as simple as that. In my personal pov, I agree with the decision as the map looks empty, incomplete and has absolutely no ambience feeling. Inspite it does have an idea which is the dart board you clearly can't see it while playing the map and it makes no sense. [blockquote] so the same guys who aren't even competent enough to find a massive shortcut in one of the accepted maps figured this was the best possible option to take?[/blockquote] The submitted maps to this tournament were not even supposed to be modified, not at all, as once the map was submitted, it either gets accepted or denied. Although, I must admit that the rules and a few moments went not precisely the way we had it on plan. There were other factors as well which kinda interfered the process, though. [blockquote] but yeah I get it, you guys don't want to be 'unfair' or look weak by granting exceptions.[/blockquote] You answered the bigger part of your post yourself.

qui <3

11/04/2013 09:11:00

kz_tbt_nonentity is a hard map, not average-hard. awesome map, awesome jumps, pretty much deserve 1st place. bkm_tbt_LondonStation is a easy map, boring... tbt_dart i don't know yet why this map was rejected, i will read the comments later, but i just have to say i finished the course, and was simply AWESOME!

11/04/2013 15:17:00

Rapha, nah nonentity is really an average-hard. No problem should be noprob nocping it if you have time.

11/04/2013 15:48:00

lol at that typo:D

11/04/2013 16:31:00

Blake have a nice vision of map, like he has an eye for mapping, something like chrizzy (no, i'm not comparing blake with chrizzy). Map is good, even though it easy. I like the way he made it, keep it up bro ^_^. Qui is mostly known by his good-mixed jumps, that's pretty much what we think when we heard his nickname. Map is hard indeed, but i think it's enough good for making some pretty impressive run, i just like it. I think fight about these two maps is going to be huge between recordholders. Let see what future bring us... I'm so, so sad about hm, he's indeed good mapper, i think his map is amazing, but it's just me and my opinion. I think this won't make you disappointed and i think you won't lose your motivation after this... Pizza, i totally agree with you, this can mess lots of stuff here... Good luck in next stage of this tournament. ;)

11/04/2013 19:58:00

mh out of the box qui's map is one of the well made maps for it. londonstation is fullbright as hell... and why dart has been dismissed can be clearly been seen. why had been a texture pack created when its not used for real? only just 3 textures for real and is not using the theme which had been given out with the texture pack. if you had been looking over the texture pack, you could have seen the theme aswell. Theme's which could have been created with those textures: Industrial type of map(e.g Londonstation as an example) City (e.g nonentity) Nature type of map the tournament had been created for a point to get more peeps interested in the various editing types of KZ: Recording / Movie / Mapping and for such a tournament where you have to record trickjumps and doing later on a movie. such a map like dart can't be accepted. if you dont think so, please give me some proper reasons where and how the trickjumps can be made on such a map for a movie project... but well in one point are you guys right. he had been thinking outside of the box but in the end it comes to the same conclusion afterwards.

11/04/2013 22:41:00

hm^ map is so awesome!!

12/04/2013 11:53:00

I didn't saw any of maps so I am waiting just for demos :D

13/04/2013 18:40:00

qui, you make such awesome maps, gj
