--Is it modding only?
No, feel free to submit special maps so your mod can be played more.
SCMloaded maps are acceptable.
--How do I join?
Just submit a mod, no signup is required.
--What are the rules exactly?
Rules:
Mods must be submitted before February 28
It is not necissary to sign up in advance.
You may not submit an already made mod, neither a mod that is already in progress. It must be created after the creation of this post (Although, I doubt it really matters, I’ll let this rule bend a little for mods that were barely started before the creation of this post).
Team work is encouraged, however, if you're going to make a team project I don't recommend more than 2 persons
No Entry Fee.
There is NO theme that you must work around.
You may submit updates, as in post a topic and show us your work and buy the judge and the people.
