Let's get techy!

We're asking you all to help us out by sending in your best Canyon tech maps!

After submitting your map, a panel of experts will be testing and rating your map. The best maps will be selected for use in the competition. If your map is going to be used and it just needs a few tweaks, you'll be requested via mail or Discord to make those improvements and submit a new version.

DO NOT put your map on ManiaExchange or make it available in any other way until you've been given the go-ahead by the competition admin. Maps already available somewhere will automatically be rejected. If you have not been contacted by the maptesters / competition admins once the last mappack of the competition is released, then feel free to release your map without SCL naming and signing.

Check out all the requirements, before sending it through:

• Mapname: "SCL - Name"
• Add the spaces around the "-";
