Gunna be streaming on the main weekend over at http://www.twitch.tv/phideltatau

Only music, no voice/facecam. Disappointing, I know, but my voice is terrible and so is my face. So at least you'll have the luxury of not hearing or seeing either.

Fun stuff! Happy! I don't know if I'll have enough energy to finish a map but yeah. I'll probably at least stream some of it.

This contest was a blast, even though it became quite stressful when I realized my original plans weren't up-to-snuff. Thanks for the three days of memories!

Here are the broadcasts from the stream. A big thanks goes out to ConEmber and worMatty who joined me in the stream.

You may create sketches of your map before the start of the contest

Does that mean that I can plan map in Hammer if I start new one when contest begins?

Also, if I decide to stream, where I can get that 72hrs countdown clock?

Nothing against it in the rules. As long as the map is built from start to end from scratch during the event (excluding prefabs and all that) you should be fine. If you do make a practice map before, I think you are disallowed from having it tested anywhere as that goes against the spirit of the competition.

Here is the post in this thread with the information you need. Note that the UNIX time code for the countdown timer, if you are competing on the 31st of July is 1438628400.

I will join July 31st :3 I am back cuties :D

How much time left?

It hasn't started yet! You can check the timer on the front page for when the contest officially starts and ends. If that time doesn't work for you, there's also an alternate time happening exactly a week before the normal time.
