    ALOLA! We all love the new Alolan variants! Well, we love some a lot and some..hmm not so much. But here, we have an Alolan variant that is bound to excite you! It's a Map-off! However, it's not gonna be just any Map-off, but an Alolan Map-off!

    Hmm...but why an Alolan Map-off? Other than the fact that it is this GT?s Theme, what else could probably lead us to choose this as the Map-off theme as well? Well Alola as a region is themed very beautifully, with the Hawaiian inspired atmosphere that's full of deep blue Seas, lush green forests, beaches as far as the eye can see, all located in a singular tropical wonderland. We figured one can make beautiful maps using such a theme. And so here we are in an Alolan Map-off.

    ​

    Now what do you need to keep in mind when you participate in this event?

    The task is essentially:
    An extension of the Alola region and therefore in the style of Alola
    It can be:
    • A route, or a town, or a forest, or anything. As long as it fits the Alolan theme. Make your map any size you want!
    • Using a tileset style from Gen 1-5!
    • Created via the software of your choosing!
    These maps would be judged by a panel of judges.
    The maps will be judged on the basis of:
    • Layout
    • Complexity
    • Setting (how "true" to Alola it is)
    • Accuracy (tile errors etc)
    • In-game perspective
    • Playability
    The Winners would be awarded Z-crystal points that would go to their individual teams.
    So if you think you have what it takes to make an Alolatastic map, then reply on this thread that you want to participate and we would then reply back with instructions on how to submit your map entries.
    Only one map per user!

    Each event will be assigned a Z-Crystal during the coming days with each Z-Crystal being worth a different number of points. Only the overall winner who gets first place will earn a Z-Crystal.

    Allright.
    but I would like to stress on the fact that an event such as this one, would be much better if there will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place holder, they could be awarded the points in that order that will be decided by the mods managing the GT, like yourself.

    Just do give this kind of ranking system a thought, otherwise in the end it's you guy's decision.

    You can still have a second and third place, it's just that only first will gain points for their team.

    Just updating what pie said... Originally we wanted to give points only to the 1st place to avoid mess with points (something that happened last year), but after seeing a lot of people wanting to have more that one place awarded, we decided to change it so 3 places will get points.
