If we continue working on our map, can we release screenshots/images of our work? Like in the WIP thread etc.

From what I understood this is discouraged so people don't confuse your new and old work.
First of all, calm down.
The submission thread is for submitting the entries on time. That's the actual submit function.
The contest entries is for map specific feedback, changelogs and iterations that separate them from the main bunch of non-contest maps.
Sorry, but this was my first contest and I tried very hard on my map which in the end wasn't even submitted. There are even other people on the Contest Entries who posted their map there, how should I know that there is going to be a seperate thread? That's completely impractical, at least put it on the front page or even better just create the thread when the contest starts, post a link on the main discussion post and unlock the submission thread on the deadline...
I even finished before the deadline and my map wasn't submitted fml http://forums.tf2maps.net/showthread.php?t=25220
It wasn't mentioned in the thread that you needed to submit to the upload thread. I thought that it was normally there, so the fact that it is missing is concerning.
the upload thread was constantly being bumped to the top of the forums and if you were unsure or wanted to double check, you could've asked.
That all being said, I can see where someone could potentially miss the thread. It has been shared with the staff and I'm sure idolon will accept your map for submission.

Can we get a break down of:
How many entered
How many Completed
How many completed and accepted for judging
How many not completed but not in/ for judging
(note: mine still needs to be submitted / not judged - I ran into a coding and compile bug - vrad has been running for over 6 hours now - but I still wanted it to be included for the contest as the map was made for the contest if that's possible - I am slao at work so can't get back to it for another 7 hours)

its nearly a full day after the deadline
You're way past the deadline, so I won't be accepting your map. Sorry!
The contest has 67 maps in it at the moment. I'm not really sure what you mean by any of the other questions, so I can't answer.

Ya I figured as much - no problems - I completed the map two hours after the clock expired ran into a major coding bug (stopped me dead in the contest - took two hours to fix but now have a brand new mpl_coding game mode structure). The time wouldn't have mattered though - after running repeated tests during the course of the event vrad decided to give me a 6 hour + complie :angry:
Thanks none the less :thumbup1:
I was looking for an over all percentage of how many entered vs. completion ratio
Well, I had 15 hours to create map :O
Hey Ido (or anybody who can/wants to), can you edit in a link to my map's thread on its upload thread post? It's the first post in the upload thread (other than the initial one) and the link to the maps' thread is here:

Do you guys like heads up messages? I sure do!
This is to let you know that next week's schedule has been modified. The original plan was to test Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then use the next week for "leftover" tests where people could request to play maps that they hadn't played yet (for judging purposes).
The new plan is to change next week's schedule to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and use the rest of the week for the leftover tests. This shaves a week off of the original schedule time! Assuming you're not a finalist, you'll be allowed to update your maps before the month is over.
Note that these leftover tests aren't scheduled - hop into our chatroom and inquire within. If there's enough interest on a particular day, we'll run a test. I imagine most people will be tired of testing 72 hour maps by then though, so try to get as many maps in on the scheduled tests!

I hate to ask this but I doubt I'll be able to in the Steam Chat. Would it be possible to get a few more run through's cp_ace_72_a3 during a leftover test? I don't have much feedback on it from either feedback.tf2maps.net nor the voting thread.
