FETN2 mapsearch

[harrii]

ET Dream Team is going to arrange FETN2 (Formula ET Nations 2) tournament. The exact starting date isn't decided yet, but it will probably start in March 2013.

To be able to arrange the tournament, we need some maps from you.

Requirements for maps:
- mode: Multi-lap (no fake finishes)
- stadium tech map
- validation: 3 laps (no need to validate the maps with 24 laps)
- length: 50 - 70 secs per lap (a flying lap)
- minimal scenery (max 2000 coppers)
- difficulty: quite easy difficulty level (challenge in this competition comes through endurance and consistency)
- checkpoints: maximum distance between checkpoints: 10 seconds, recommended distance around 5 seconds. Each CP has to be respawnable and to the right direction!
- mood: sunrise, day or sunset
- password: maps with pass protection won't be considered
- no cuts and no bugs if possible
- use the tag "FETN2-" in front of the map name. No special signs in the map name (colors allowed).
- upload your maps in the Map Upload Module (at ET Portal). Select FET as league.
- limit of 2 maps from same author (duomaps included)
- blockmixing is allowed as long as it does not produce any graphical problems or driving bugs
- the track is not uploaded anywhere (for example TMX) and not used in any competition
- GPS, Intros & Outros are forbidden
- envmix obviously forbidden
- check the mapping guide: How to map for ET leagues

Deadline for sending maps: 31th of January 2013


FETN1 was arranged in 2009 and probably not all of you remember what it was all about. So here are the main rules:

FET (Formula ET) is a multilap competition, similar to Formula 1. Teams register with 2-4 players, and at each match day, 12 teams play together in a 24 laps multilap race, with 2 players of each team. That leads to a 24 players mass endurance race of approximately 25 minutes (24 laps, ~1 minute length). ET provides the servers for that competition at match day. 2 maps are played at each match day.

In divisions you get points dependent on the place you finished the race, and they are added together for a team ranking.

The rules of the previous edition pretty much apply also in FETN2.

Maps are a big part of the competition, so hopefully we get some good maps from you. Let's arrange a good competition! ET Dream Team also wishes you unbuggy Christmas and a gamingful new year!

The deadline of the map search was planned to be tonight. It seems that we didn't receive enough maps for organizing the competition. This means that we are not going to arrange FETN2, at least not very shortly. I (or somebody else) will announce here if the map search will be opened again.

We are also missing some stadium admins here, so if you think you could help us, send a private message to me and LInsoDeTeh.

Despite the fact that the FETN2 mapsearch was now cancelled, you can still send UL10 stadium maps if you are very quick. I think the maps for UL10 will be chosen in the next week.

This weekend would be better, and if it is next week, consider tuesday as the extreme deadline. Because indeed i create the admin packs on next wednesday (at latest), so anything uploaded after that will be checked for UL11.
