Map Rating
Gameplay (60 points + 5 bonus points)
(1) 1. Originality (15 points)
(2) 2. Easiness to Play (10 points)
(3) 3. "Fun Factor" (20 points)
(4) 4. Map-Specific (15 points)
(5) 5. Atmoshpere (5 point bonus)
Technical - Triggers (40 points + 5 bonus points)
(6) 1. Complexity (20 points)
(7) 2. Efficiency (15 points)
(8) 3. Neat/Organized (5 points)
(9) 4. Groundbreak (5 point bonus)
Technical - Units (25 points)
(10) 1. Unit Names (15 points)
(11) 2. Unit Placement (10 points)
Technical - General (50 points)
(12) 1. Terrain (25 points)
(13) 2. Bug-Free (15 points)
(14) 3. Proper Use of Sound (10 points)
TOTAL ---------- (175 points + 10 bonus points)
NOTES:
(1) How original the map is. If someone ripped off another map or didn'e even start from scratch, they will get a low score. New ideas in map will score high.
(2) How easy the game is to play. If the judge looks at your map and goes HUH? what do I do? then you will get a low score. Tips and HowTos are good for scoring high here.
(3) How much fun your map is. Purely a judge opinon, but the fun factor exists. A map can be complex, but not as much fun.
(4) Specific to the map type. Can be balance for defenses, RPGs, madnesses, etc; difficulty for bounds, etc. etc. etc.
(5) Your map will gain bonus points if it creates a proper atmosphere. As with all bonuses, it is hard to achieve. A good example of a map getting 5/0 here would be House of the Haunted by (U)Bolt_Head. (see the DLDB to look at the map).
(6) The complexity of your triggers. If you incorporate advanced trigger systems, you will score high. A map with few triggers or very simple triggers will score low.
(7) How efficient your triggers are. If you have unneccesary actions, conditions, or triggers, you will be marked down.
(8) How organized your triggers are. A mass of uncommented hard-to-follow triggers will get a 0 or a 1. Keep them organized!
(9) If you invent or discover a new trick and incorporate it into your map, you will get bonus points. This will not make up for other categories. For example, a test map of BeeR_KeG[eM]'s Accuracy Bullet System submitted by him would get a bonus, but not score highly elsewhere. His snipers map, however, which uses it, would be a good way to get the bonus points without harming other scores.
(10) How neat you unit names are. If you have messy overlapping or missing capital or misspellings, you will get marked down. It may seem like nitpicking, but it can seriously detract from your map.
(11) How neat your unit placement is. "Unit Unplaceable"s at start of map are a fast way to lose points. Other placement that looks sloppy or uncoordinated in the map will also detract from this score.
(12) Your terrain. A judge's opinion of how good a job you did with your terrain.
(13) You map should not have any glitches or problems. If it does, you will loose points here, and probabally elsewhere, too.
(14) The best score here is achieved by use of sound subtly and cleverly to create a mood. Crude sounds will loose points as will no sound if the judges thinks there should be. Playing rock music as beckground to a bound will not score too highly here.
Each of the 5 judges will rate the map in each category and submit a report to the bookkeeper with the map name, author, and ratings. The bookkeeper will then average each seperate score (rounding decimals to 1 place, .X5 up) and add them to come up with a final score out of 175. Maps will be ranked by final score. In the rankings, a detailed report of each judges score in each category and the average, and the totals will be provided.

It means that you can use my Accuracy Bullet system and any other Trigger system released until the contest deadline.
A gmail account is just like any normal e-mail only it has mad space to put your emails.(I don't know how much space but it is a whole lot ask Coko he has one).
Yes teams are allowed and outside help(SEN, Blizz Forums, SSC, CC.org etc..)is allowed only if you are asking for help and not having other people besides the people officially making the map doing the triggers.

Interesting, I'll try to get a map finished before the deadline. Not sure if I'll finish Merchants 4 or Battlelords Terran for it though. I have the concepts of both maps already drawn out in my mind but no trigger or mapping work done on either yet so they are both still valid maps to be submitted correct?

Can I include tricks that haven't been released.... I once figured out something that looked kind of cool, but I only released on a couple of forums when I was fairly new and I forgot about it but this reminded me.... I guess it counts as being a released idea, but it isn't well known. It's a visual effect I want to add to the map.
When you say trigger complexity, does the amount of triggers factor into that?, or is it just how advanced or long the triggers are.

Here lemme put it this way instead of "Can I judge?"
-I am a respected map maker
-I know what I'm doing when it comes to map making, therefore "Advanced," which I'd raise to Uber if I could.
-I'd REALLY like to judge. Please?
Thanks BeeR_KeG[eM].
