CtB
Monthly Beatmap Contest
A Fun Competition

WELCOME

Welcome everyone. I am Razor Sharp, and welcome to the CtB Monthly Beatmap Contest. First of all, to clear confusion. This is a competition for FUN. This is simply a competition for mappers to get connected. Also, we might see new mappers too! So trough this, you might find another mapper you like, and probably co-operate with him/her in the future. Keep in mind that YOU must time the map yourself! You can also ask others for help. This is so we all get to train on timing too. So lets get right into the rules before we continue with anything else.

RULES

There wont be so many rules here. But we cant have people running around doing whatever they want.

#1. Each and every single one of you, is responsible for a good mapping community. No bullying or out-shutting of other mappers!
#2. You do NOT get to choose song to map. That is completely up to me, and the other staff members to find out.
#3. Changing BG for the mapset WILL make you disqualified! DO NOT set your own! This is to avoid figuring out who mapped!
#4. We decide how many difficulties the mapset should have. If we say it should have a NHI spread, it should have it. But you can still map ENHIX, but we will only judge the NHI difficulties if mentioned.
#5. Collabs is completely fine, as long you mention who you collab with in the forum post for the song.
#6. Do not submit something that is not your work!

Breaking these rules will result in either:
You wont be able to join the contest for 3 months
OR
Permanent ban from the contest

Remember to check back at the rules every once in a while as they are subject to change.

STAFF/JUDGES

Now with that out of the way, lets get into the staff list. This will be in its own box (so feel free to ignore). This is just as you know who you should contact if you got questions. Keep in mind that staff members CANT submit creations.

Staff/Judges

Forum Staff
Razor Sharp

Beatmap Manager
Fort

Judges
Razor Sharp
alienflybot
Kurokami
Setomi

Song Selection Staff (We choose the songs each month)
Razor Sharp
BoberOfDarkness
Fort
WildOne94

If a member of the Judges or Song Selection Staff fails to meet up, we will poke someone from the backup groups below. (Italic = Backup group)
They are also free to say "no, i cant this month" if they have fully mapped the song for the competition or are fully focused on joining the competition that month.

Judges
JBHyperion
Spectator

Song Selection Staff
alienflybot

Maps will be judged with points (1-10) in different factors. These factors are: Creativity, Pattern usage, Flow, Playability, Fitness(does it fit the song?).

The winning mapset will also get a comment on the difficulty spread/curve. And that gives no points, due to this is a mapping competition, not a spread training thing.

HOW TO JOIN THE COMPETITION

Simply enough, send Fort a forum message with a link to your map forum. Remember to add all aditional info you think me and the other judges might need, on the forum post of your map. You can also send Fort the .osz file if you dont want to upload the map.

BUT WHAT DO I WIN?

So, i will give away 1 FREE MOD on 1 map the winner owns. And 1 FREE MOD from Setomi.
The winner also gets to choose what map!
Also, WildOne94 will gift 3 MONTHS supporter to the winner!

THIS MONTHS SONG TO MAP

[notice]WINNER RANKINGS

(Each time a person win, they gain a "map rank". This rank simply tells how many times the person have won. The ranks goes from Bronze up to Platinum, with 1-10 depending on how many times they have won. If a mapper wins being ranked Platinum Mapper 10, they will earn the Platina Mapper rank. Aka top rank. So remember, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Platina.

Winner Rankings

EXAMPLE
"Mapper Name": Bronze Mapper 7

Now the real stuff

CLSW - Bronze Mapper 1

Sounds good, I hope I like the song as I was turned off by song choices in the "official" MBCs.

Keeping an eye on this, good luck (:

Just a recommendation, maybe have the maps sent to you over pm, rather than submitted (Because otherwise people could copy other people's mapping).

personally i really dont know where is the fun when there is nothing you win in this contest. how about giving a free mod by all the judges and staffs as a reward to the winner's mapset until it get qualified? cheap but best to attract more mappers

just PLEASE stop tryharding to be funny. and ur sad memes

Idk, could work.
But having a contest once a month for fun, without something to win, is still fun. The warm feeling of winning is always great!
But for now, let me add something :3

mmmh alright, lets see how it goes. anyway the song choice is pretty nice thou

no judging over difficulty curve? since this contest is about to map the whole mapset not a single difficulty, so literally that was the most important thing to judge. i guess

More likely it means the difficulty spread.
Like the difference among Salad, Platter and Rain is similar (such as the Star Rating)

Yes that will also be considered. But not with points. Simply a comment

How do you plan to ensure anonymity when judging to avoid bias? It might be worth submitting the maps to someone not on the judging panel first, who can then remove the mappers' names from each set. The judging panel would just see "Set 1, Set 2, etc.", or something, and wouldn't know whose set was which until after judging is complete.

I know everyone says they try to maintain impartiality and be fair, but the cynic in me says that removing friendship/rivalry/grudge bias completely is impossible, and this is a straightforward solution that wouldn't take much effort to implement.
