What is Quality Improvement Team?
We are an unofficial group of modders and mappers. Our priority is not making traditional mods, but we are helping new people ranking their maps in-depth. This means we are answering their questions about mapping, we are frequently checking their maps and saying what are they doing wrong. Basically we are here to move the map to the statement where it is worth a rank. We will start to help you through IRC, where we will force you to get some mods and we will tell you what you should focus on when fixing your map. Then we will consider whether the map is good or not - If not, we will try explain. After we see you understand what do we want you to do, we will make a mod for you if we think it is needed. After you fix it, it should be already in good statement to go for a BAT. If your star priority is under the required 12+ for a rank, we can tell you to get few more mods, eventually we will get some for you through M4M or from our friends, also other members of this team might mod it. Anyway, once we see a potential in your map, it will be frequently checked by any of the members and he/she will tell you what you've fixed wrong or what you shouldn't have fixed.
How can I get your help?
Simply post your map here and we will tell you whether you are eligible for getting our mod.
Please beware we are not obligate to make your map rankable immediately. If we see your map is disgusting, we will explain you what you don't understand and what should you do when mapping. If we see your map can be brought to the rankable state after changing it a bit and explaining some things, we will focus on the map more. It's just all up to you whether you are going to accept our help and improve your map, or you will just do nothing, which means we won't be able to improve it.

How to join the team?
There are not much things needed to become one of this team, but still you won't get here for free. Here are few requests.
- You have to be a good mapper - A good mapper know how the map should look and sees the mistakes in other maps, we don't require you to have huge amount of ranked maps, but you should have some ranked ones and they must have good quality.
- You have to be a good modder - You don't need to have thousands of kudosu, but we will check some of your mods - You can even choose which one you want us to check, at least we will see the best job you can make. The important thing is we want to see you can find important thing, then clearly explain why is it wrong and how to fix it. This means we don't want you to mention "1 grid left, 1 grid right" stuff, but focusing on important things. Obviously it is fine to mention these details, but these are last things you should be checking, the most important is correct structure, details are just minor things, so we won't let you join the team if we see you cannot find anything serious in your mods.
- You have to be a good teacher - You have to know how the players will understand what do you really say. They should improve their overall mapping, not only one map after you list every single thing he should fix. There is no way to see it for us. Only way is checking your mods, but that's not 100%, so basically we will add you to the team even if we are not sure about this, then the mappers who got your help can tell us if they could understand what you were saying to them. This should be okay if you are good at English.
What do I get?
Everything you get depends on map's current statement and on how much do you improve. If it is terrible, we will start from the top of this list, if it is promising, we can start near to end of this list.
- Explanation of basic settings
- Basics of mapping
- Sensibility and consistency
- Perfection
- Request on getting more mods or getting them for you
- Checking the changes on your map
- Mod
- Eventually getting a BAT for you
