No lazy names: (eg. EFS - Stadium, EFS - 10, EFS - gnbgufgfbh)

Deadline:
Maps are submitted on a rolling basis, so no deadline exists. However, as time is needed to test maps, don’t expect a submission to be accepted to the tournament immediately.

How do I upload my map?

Go to the "Evo Fullspeed Survival" MapPack and click the Upload button.

Maps should be automatically set as "Unreleased" and "Hidden".

Do not set your map as "Unlisted".

New maps can only be downloaded by EFS managers.

What happens if my map is approved?

You'll receive a notification on TMX when the map is approved.

The map will be added to a queue of maps that can be used.

You will be notified via PM (TMX or Discord) when your map has been selected for a cup.

What if modifications to the track are requested?

You'll receive a notification about what changes are requested.

When a map is updated, the map will be moved back to the pending stage and will be tested again.

Further modifications may be requested. Otherwise we will approve it.

Please note: Updating your map, even if updates aren't requested, will put the map back into pending.

If my map is accepted, when can it be released?

You can release and unhide your map as soon as the map is officially announced.

What if my map is declined?

If your map is declined, this means the map is unsuitable for the cup.

You'll get a notification if it's declined.

Maps are declined if major portions of the track would have to be changed to make the map suitable.

You can release your declined map by removing the EFS tag in-game, resaving the map, and re-uploading to TMX.
