I have started to work on an article in the wiki to help with mapping issues. Things will be added as I have time. Please read the discussion on this article before editing it if you are thinking of doing that. You can find the list here. I will update it slowly.

Please write that document. Even though most knowledge of making a competitive map should be more or less common sense. Even though I've played DM style maps since quake 2, I still can't say I know everything that should be thought about whilst making a competitive style map.

Do not ent edit your map to fix errors. This causes mass confusion and security issues and they may be complete accidents as the server admin does not even know he has the wrong version of the map. Once again. Rename and re-release.

I read those lines and tought: "I made these two mistakes already ..." - but I learnt from them.

I highly recommend all mappers thinking of entering our next contest read this, and also our intro to teamplay course by Cynips.

Fearsome, anything else you can get done on this before contest time would be helpful. No pressure though, I know you are busy.
