Ubisoft announced today on the ManiaPlanet blog that they are holding a map creation competition to generate maps for the ShootMania tournaments that will be held at PAX at the end of the month.
Up to 25 maps will be selected for play during the tournament in 5 different game modes that will be shown off to the attendees of the expo. The game modes include:
- Siege
- Elite
- Battle
- Heroes
- Speedball
Each participant may submit up to 10 maps (ALL need to be submitted together in one email to Ubisoft!!! See official rules for more information.)
If your map(s) is/are selected for PAX, you will be recognized at the show when your map is played. The one most interesting map (first place winner) will be brought to PAX to help show off his/her map!
These maps are being made exclusive for PAX, and thus, Ubi has set some specific rules, including making sure your playtest group only includes the author and enough people to max what the mode supports. For example, if you decide to make an Elite map (which is 3 vs. 3) -- your playtest group will consist of the map author and 5 other players. Play on a passworded server, and the author and all playtesters agree to be under non-disclosure agreement; meaning you won't discuss or share the map in any way. (This includes not posting to ManiaExchange until after the PAX tournaments take place.
So wait no more... go check out the rules and start pumping out the maps... Good luck!
(I will post more about the tournaments themselves when I get more info... in case some of you out there want to try to play in them!)
This Contest is open to legal U.S. residents (excluding residents of Rhode Island and residents of Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and other United States territories) and to legal residents of Canada (excluding residents of Quebec), who are thirteen (13) years of age or older at the time of entry.
