No time to start again like the present!

Is using the ABS resource pack and other packs allowed?
I have a few questions.
1) For the "Layout" portion of this contest, are maps only accepted if they were started following the posting of this thread, or will you be accepting updates to maps with threads already on the forums? For example, if I updated koth_sloth to a7, would that be a valid entry? I would imagine the answer is no but it doesn't seem to be explicitly stated. (Perhaps I'm just blind)
2) Will maps from the 72-Hour competition be accepted into the "Layout" portion of the contest?
3) Why the restriction on the number of maps submitted per player?
What if there aren’t enough layouts entered?
We’ll find other layouts, whether from non-contest maps, or from the orphaned maps repository. We have ways.

Where did you come from !?
FYI we've been playing gravelrocket recently in my sunday events, might wanna checkout the feedback on feedback.tf2maps.net
Rules: Stage 1, Layout Stage
- You are not allowed to steal any part of any other map. Doing so will result in disqualification of your map.
how much stealing is stealing? if i wanted to take the halfspire i made in formercornfield and play around with it a bit, would i be walking the fine line or would i be way past it in the outlaw territory?
bonus info - the plan is to detail it myself in the second stage...in a similar manner to formercornfield as well
bonus info 2 - its kinda expanding my own map so not really stealing...but its not exactly being original too
what say ye, o rigorous contest arbiters?
I would say copy+paste is stealing, if you took the areas surrounding the point and mimicked them would be stealing, but if you're just doing a raised point with a pass under it, I mean... 'theme' (as in made of wood, not concrete slabs) it differently, perhaps?
edit: and another question - can we do a somewhat detailed map for 72h, then undetail it for this contest?
