I wouldn't call it a contest... rather a simple deadline. All the maps submitted still have to be tested thoroughly etc, before anyone makes a decision though. I'm sure they'll let us know as soon as the make the decisions on who made it in the game, and who didn't. If nothing else though, if your map was picked, you'll surely be notified. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

but make it fast... in one week im gone for 2 weeks... witch mean, if my map is good, but still need some tweaks, then i cannot make them and i need to gove my map to a friend and hope that hi make everything right...
it is best to assume that the maps that you wanted to get in did not, that way will not be disappointed if they do not get in, yet you will rejoice if they do!
Yep, ken basically summed it up, however, PLEASE do NOT take it out on the developers and team if your map does NOT make it official, it's very hard choosing maps, and they are defintly not only chosen for the actual looks, they are chosen for various other reasons. If your map does not go official, i would assume the dev's would tell you why, so next time you make a map, build off of those guidelines they give you, getting frusterated over something like this is foolish, for all we know your maps could me in future mappacks?

So, um... what if my imminent surgery were to somehow impede my ability to get Eclipse prepared in time, should it make the cut; would the health reasons still cause un-choosing? I'm sure this won't be a problem, but the thought has crossed my mind depending on how long I need for recovery. :-\
well i dont know if my map wil make it (i really think it wont cause i just rushed it to make the deadline) but im now making and moidifiyng the map everyday to give it a new look. I will be going on holydays at august so i think NS will be released before (with the luck i have it will be release the day after i go on holydays <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> )
