❄︎Scoring❄︎

The score of each map is based on the following:
Theme: 20 points max (How much your map fits the theme);
Impression: 10 points max (How impressed people are with your map at first glance);
Enjoyability: 30 points max (How much people want to play your map again because it's fun);
Not breaking rules: 5 points max (-10 points for each time your map breaks a rule, DQ if you break 3 rules or more);
Balance: 15 points max (How well the difficulty curve of your map flows);
Readability: 5 points max (Your map should be easy to read);
Difficulty: 15 points max (How deflated your map is).

Total: 100 points max.
Note: If everyone gives full SS on one map, then that map can get 120 points total.

Every contestant is a judge. Everyone rates all of the other entries (to be fair).

❄︎Specific guidelines on how to rate maps❄︎

Theme: Do you feel a cold breeze blow across to find out it was an imagination? If you do, feel free to give a full 20 points on the map! Basically how winter-y or holiday-y the map is.


SS: 24 points
S: 20 points
A+: 19 points
A: 18 points
A-: 17 points
B+: 16 points
B: 15 points
B-: 14 points
C+: 13 points
C: 12 points
C-: 11 points
D+: 10 points
D: 9 points
D-: 8 points
F: 5 points
V: 0 points

Impression: Do your jaws drop unnoticeably? If yes, then you are probably really impressed. This can be based on how much the patterning amazes you, how well the SVs work, etc. This should be done when first opening the map. Please have AUTO mod on.

SS: 12 points
S: 10 points
A: 9 points
A-: 8 points
B: 7 points
B-: 6 points
C: 5 points
D: 4 points
F: 2 points
V: 0 points

Enjoyability: Do you have the urge to play the map again? Well then that map probably deserves a 30 points on enjoyability. Good maps deserve a good score, but the unique AND fun maps deserves even more. Maps that aren't creative should only get at most a B. Remember, only FUN maps gets the most points. This should be done after playing the map for the first time.

SS: 36 points
S: 30 points
A+: 28 points
A: 27 points
A-: 26 points
B+: 24 points
B: 23 points
B-: 22 points
C+: 19 points
C: 18 points
C-: 17 points
D+: 13 points
D: 12 points
D-: 11 points
F: 5 points
V: 0 points

Balance: If the map has some unexpected and unnecessary difficulty spikes, you should probably consider taking a few points off of it. If the difficulty doesn't match with the song, a couple of points may go flying away as well.

SS: 18 points
S: 15 points
A+: 14 points
A: 13 points
A-: 12 points
B+: 11 points
B: 10 points
B-: 9 points
C: 8 points
D: 6 points
F: 3 points
V: 0 points

Readability: I mean, if you don't get a good score on this one, then you're probably not going to do well on anything else either. Measures how readable the map is.

SS: 6 points
S: 5 points
A: 4 points
B: 3 points
C: 2 points
D: 1 points
F: 0 points

Difficulty: Harder than it seems? Definitely looking good on this part. Maps that are way too inflated should get a lower score. The best ratings are given to the maps that doesn't look hard but are in fact extremely difficult to play. Should be done after playing the map for the first time.

SS: 18 points
S: 15 points
A+: 14 points
A: 13 points
A-: 12 points
B+: 11 points
B: 10 points
B-: 9 points
C: 8 points
D: 6 points
F: 3 points
V: 0 points

Special Notes:

The SS rating may only be given to one map on any item.
The V rating may only be given to one map on any item.
The final score is calculated by adding up the average ratings of each evaluation item.
The ratings must be done within 14 days after the mapping stage, otherwise your map will be disqualified.
Do NOT purposefully give low scores to other people's maps. You may be disqualified for this.
You may rate a map before the deadline if it has already been published.

Only one difficulty for each map. You can make other difficulties though. But please specify the difficulty that is entering the contest.

Do three concurrent lns that start at different times count as a triple?

"5. For 4K maps, no triples or above may be present. For 7K maps, no quads or above may be present."

Does this mean hand notes aren't allowed or is this referring to something else? No hand or quad notes seem like a very unnecessary restriction that just limits creativity. Also, what does a "winter-themed" chart even imply past the song being winter-related?

I don't even know man. These restrictions are sort of a challenge I guess.
