Hello again! The ManiaExchange Monthly Track Contest (MTC) Is here again for August 2024! I am Arai, your thankful host.

Theme of the Month: Boomerang

You must upload two identical maps, one of which has the start and finish blocks interchanged.

---

Theme Specific Rules

• After uploading a map, you must upload a second version of the same map in which the start and the finish are interchanged.
  
• Only one finish block/item is allowed to be placed.
  
• Multilap is not allowed.
  
• Checkpoints may be rotated by 180 degrees between map versions if so desired.
  
• Signs may be reskinned and rotated in any direction between map versions if so desired.
  
• Blockmixing is allowed.
  
• Duo maps are allowed.
  
• Author time must be between 15 seconds and 3 minutes.

Titlepacks allowed:

• TM² Canyon
  
• TM² Valley
  
• TM² Stadium
  
• TM² Lagoon
  
• TM² MultiEnv / TMAll

THIS MONTH every vote from both uploaded maps (per user) will contribute to the same overall average. So it is recommended to make a map which is fun to drive both ways.

General Rules

• MTC should be present in the track name. Example: "SuperCoolTrackName (MTC)" or "mtc|EvenCoolerName"
  
• Maps should be built in the most recent version of the game.
  
• Maps must be built during the month of this MTC.
  
• Maps requiring drivers to use OpenPlanet are NOT allowed
  
• Maps must be under 4 MBs (online server limit)

How to Submit

• You MUST upload your track to this mappack and optionally post a link to your map in this thread
  

---

Deadlines

• Your map should be uploaded before Sunday August 25th @ 05:59 CEST. Submissions will continue to be accepted until I officially announce closure in this thread.
  
• Maps submitted within the deadline are allowed to be updated at any time. Although, if it is updated during the voting week, that will be at the cost of losing your votes!
  
• Voting week begins on Sunday August 25th @ 06:00 CEST and ends on Friday August 31st @ 06:00 CEST
  
• Results are calculated and posted soon after voting closes

Voting

• When the voting week starts, the maps will be available on a server in the TM2 MultiEnv titlepack.
  
• The server will be open for a week.
  
• To vote, use the karma system on the server.
  -- 1 point (bad)
  - 2 points
  +- 3 points
  + 4 points
  ++ 5 points (good)
  
• Everyone is allowed to vote, even players who submitted a map (your vote on your own map won't be counted).
  
• All votes on a map will be averaged, resulting in the map's total score. THIS MONTH all the votes of both uploaded maps (per user) will contribute to the same average.
  
• You no longer have to finish a map in order to vote!
  
• Players are encouraged to leave an award on the maps they liked, and to post constructive feedback on as many maps as possible

Prizes
The top 3 winners will see their best voted map featured on the front page.
(If there are less than five contestants this month, only the 1st place winner will have their map featured)
Bragging rights and a feeling of accomplishment!

Good luck, and if you have any questions, please ask!

Absolutely!

Hype!!!

The voting week has started for this month's monthly track contest!!!
If you wish to vote for your favorite maps, you can join the server titled "MTC-Monthly track contest voting!" on the TMall/MultiEnv titlepack.

This month's theme was "Boomerang"
Every Map had to have an exact copy of itself also uploaded, but driven from the finish to the start (in reverse).

Since each map has two versions, the votes are averaged between the two, so make sure to vote on the counterpart of each map you play!
Make sure to award the maps you enjoy, here, on TM²X. And, most importantly, have fun!
