NOTE

To maintain a fun, fair, and competitive environment, previous winners from the intermediate/ novice categories will be required to compete in one tier higher than before (e.g. Novice winners will now compete in intermediate). Should this person not win the following MMC, they can rejoin all categories during the next event.

We see this as an opportunity to ensure a fair and competitive space for all participants of our MMCs, allowing players to compete with those within their skill level.

Advanced Tier winners will keep participating in the Advanced category, but if they don’t win this time, they will be free to submit in lower categories in the next MMC.

Contest Details

3 Tiers Format

  • There will be 3 winners, with tiers broken down into Advanced, Intermediate and Novice.

  • The tier in which you participate is entirely up to you; every category is open, but note that you can post only 1 map in total, so think carefully before deciding.

Submission System

  • Submissions are limited to one map, so choose which tier you enter wisely.

  • You can submit your level as a collaboration, but be sure to arrange the prize management autonomously.

Submission Rules

Prizes

  • Each tier will have one winning map, replacing our previous 3 places system.
