We had no idea how to forecast realistic participation. I'd like to split the games into their own categories, but only if we have at least 3 participants per game, which seems like a lot for a community run contest. We'll see how it goes. There is no point making it more detailed for absolutely no reason, especially if there is low participation, but feel free to expand your thoughts for us. I can't glean anything from "I'm disappointed" with no elaboration.
The prizes and overall stakes are purposefully low here and it's more to give a basic excuse for folks to show off their mapmaking chops and have them showcased to a large audience. The reason is to encourage someone to participate even if they don't necessarily intend to be the absolute best, plus it also makes it easier for us as administrators too.
as I already mentioned to deltron via PM's, I think that there should be "honorable mentions" (rewards not necessary) for the best of a certain map type (perhaps something like "best holdout map", whatever). Of course this only should be done if there's enough entries for such a thing, but I hope that this would encourage some cross platform competition.
Might be they make up the categories if there are many entries. This is also the first contest of its kind, so I guess its also some sort of test-run.
sure, but at least some mention that they'd consider categories would be good. Right now we're at just complete silence except for 1st place and rules.

Apparently the contest has started running now.
Am a little disappointed that it has no categories.
