VDV_forever, Kolb@zzer, Sage


1. After testing the map, each judge evaluates it on each of the 7 points and assigns points from a minimum of 1 point to the maximum (specified within each point).
2. Each judge is required to give an objective evaluation (summary) for every map. In this evaluation, judges must specify all pros and cons of the map and provide a conclusion.
3. The judge has the right:

- If there are errors that make the map impassable, deduct up to 20 points per error;
- If there are errors but the map is passable despite them, deduct up to 5 points per error;
- Deduct points for aspects not included in the above points if this is mentioned in the summary;
- Return the map to the tournament participant to fix errors and shortcomings.

An offline tournament called "Best of the Best - 2" will be held on our website for the "Best Homm3 Map", i.e., the map that takes first place in the contest!
