Format
The contest will involve players building a mini-golf course. There will be 2 brackets - one for 18 hole courses and one for 9 hole courses.
Rules
All submissions and courses must adhere to the following rules
Submission Rules
- Anyone member or above may enter. This includes staff members
- The course must be constructed in an already existing town. This may be in your town or in another player's town (with permission)
- You may not charge anyone for building a course in your town
- There may be multiple courses in a city - this includes those built for just this contest and already existing ones
- Multiple members may collaborate on one course, but one person must be chosen for submission
- Each member may make only one submission
- The organizing staff have rights to disqualify anyone as necessary
Course Rules
- The course must be 9 or 18 holes
- Courses may be of any theme
- Courses can be built inside or outside
- There must be a way in which players can get a ball to play with (for example, a [Free] snowball sign)
- The primary block must be a block which allows items to slide - however, they may be covered with carpets or slabs
- All holes must have a visually unique 'Tee box' for players to start from
- All holes must have a hopper that acts as a cup - architects are also allowed (but not required) to make flags for the holes
- All holes must have a par value
Voting
The courses will be judged by 5 players - all of which are course architects of those recognized by the MRT Golf Association - autobus22, CaptainObi, godzilltrain, London150, and SkyjumperTalon. The courses will be separated into 2 brackets - 9 hole and 18 hole brackets. The courses will be judged out of 10 on the following criteria
- Playability: How well each hole is made, and how enjoyable the course is
- Variety: How different each hole is, rather than every hole being similar
- Aesthetics: How good the course looks
- Clubhouse/Entrance Design: How it matches the theme, and how well it looks. Outdoor courses will be judged on Clubhouse design and entrance design, and indoor courses will be judged on entrance design.
- Balance: Is the course too hard, too easy, or just right
