What is it?

Welcome the Random Collaboration Tournament! In each round, you will be randomly paired with another contestant with whom you must produce a map. You will have a week to make each map (i.e. each round will be a week long).

Rules

You and you partner must both work on the map. Obviously, it will be impossible to check whether this is the case, but it defeats the point of the tournament if only one person makes the map.
There will be a theme each week, chosen by me, which every map that in that week must adhere to.
You may only make one map per round.
There are an unlimited number of places.
The aims of this tournament are:
1. Take partWIN!!!!
2. Build and strengthen bonds and promote love and teamwork within the community.
3. Have fun! [/cliché]

You must submit your maps to NUMA and post a link to the map on the actual tournament thread (this is just the sign-up thread, remember).DDAs, non-playable tilesets, n-arts and nreality maps are not allowed.
Please don’t complain about your collab partner, or about not getting the partner you wanted. The selection is random.[/

Judging/Prizes

Each map will be judged by three judges; the fourth judge (me) will substitute if a judge wants to participate in the competition as well as judge, the fifth judge will step in in the rare circumstance that two of the judges have to collab with each other.
If you are simultaneously a judge and participant, please don’t try and fix the results to better your own score. This will result in being stripped of your position as both judge and participant.
Judging will be based on the following:
Aesthetics /20
Gameplay /30
Fun /30
Use of theme /20
Your final score will be an average of the Score from each judge.
Example: A map gets 40 from judge 1, 48 from judge 2 and 50 from judge 3; the average score is 46.
Each member of the collab will be awarded half of the total score.
Example: A map gets an average score of 46/100. Each of the collaborators gets a score of 23.
Scoring will be a cumulative process: whoever has the highest score at the end of the competition will be the winner.
Maps posted after the deadline will be accepted, but unless you tell me or one of the other judges beforehand that your map will be late, points will be deducted from the score of both people at a rate of 5 points per day. You can achieve negative scores by this method.

The prizes have yet to be decided.

Judges

Inspired wrote:If it is every week it is unlikely I will be able to do the collabing part. I can judge if you need me though.

Also you should take into account timezones when pairing people. EG. GTM and me are basically waking up and going to sleep at the opposite times. So you could find a way to work around that.
If you have this kind of problem, I can allocate extra time or something to help. Not by too much though, so be warned.

Oh, and for future reference, if you want to be a judge, please state whether it will be as one of the main three judges or as the spare (fifth) one (who will probably end up doing nothing, but still...)

Inspired wrote:Actually scrap my last post. Sign me up as a collaborator. Plus what is the rule with submission of maps?
You don’t have to submit your maps to NUMA if you don’t want to. If you do, however, you must post a link to the map on the actual tournament thread (this is just the sign-up thread, remember).
This is a bit unclear, actually. I would prefer it if you could submit the map to NUMA and then post a link to it here, but if you really don't want to, you can just post the map data instead.
Also, does this mean that you still want to be a judge as well? You could be both, if you wanted to.

I will pm all participants and tell them who they're collabing with at the beginning of each round. The actual mapmaking process will be left entirely to you and your partner.

Will we get to collab with every other entrant? That'd be nice.

I like the sound of this, so I will sign up before I read the description.

Ouph. Just read them.
OK- I'll be gone next week, but be back the next week, before leaving a week after that, coming back for 6 days, then leaving for 2 weeks.

It would be nice, but it would also make for a really long competition :/

Er...It's probably not worth it if your schedule is as crazy as that :/

How many times am I going to have to use that smiley? :/

Perhaps a round or two of three or four way collabs then?

Ooh. I was originally going to have 4 rounds of two-way collabs, but I'll see whether I could fit in an extra round for 3 or 4 way collabs. It'll depend on the number of people, of course, although I'm sure that with a little advertising we could get more people to join...[/hint]

will there be themes?

also, i dont think ddas or narts should be allowed, since the criteria for judging them would be different.

They aren't allowed, it says that in the first post.
