The depeatification process of the results has more or less been completed. At least our experts managed to remove the stains from the results up to 6th place. For some reason the stain on the upper places is much more resistant, but we've been assured of at least one new result per day until we hit first place. Before the results, a bit of explanation on how the results were arrived at.

We are considering maps that scored 60 points or better as good maps. Maps that scored above 75 points are considered great maps, spotlighted. From the 12 valid maps, 9 scored 60 points or better, which was a nice percentage of 75% of good or great maps.

All the maps were rated by 5 judges. However, we removed the best and the worst rate. So, the final valid score is an avarage of the 3 avarage rates.

And now, let's get to what everyone wanted to see, the name of the 6th place map, plus the other maps below it.

The 6th place map for the Zero Hour portion of the Open Map competition is Frost Fight created by Derek. Derek is a member of the DGNF (http://forums.cncden.com/).

Frost Fight is an 8 player arctic map, which is described as being for free-for-all or team battle, with 2 different types of base areas.

Here's the official runner-up of the ZH part of the OMC...

With just 45 minutes to spare the latest results were delivered. I'll dispense with the rest of the usual banter, and get straight down to revealing 2nd place.

The 2nd place winner is the G.o.a.T with his map Jungle Canyon. Jungle Canyon is a 2 player map that, rather surprisingly, is set in a jungle, and has a canyon dividing up the map.

1st place to be revealed maybe tonight.

Someone informed me that I should have posted 1st and 2nd place together, because for some reason intelligent people are capable of figuring out who won. But, to drag out the suspense about what the map was I elected to post the 1st place map today. Or maybe I was just lazy. You can decide.

The 1st place winner is Bhones with his map Temple Mesa. Temple Mesa is a detailed 2 player high-low map with a temperate setting.

That rounds out the results for the Zero Hour portion of Open Map Competition 3. Hopefully you've enjoyed my little blurbs revealing the results. I would like to thank our Vogon experts at removing peat stains for delivering timely results. I'd also like to thank Douglas Adams, without whom we would have no Vogon experts. If you have suggestions for thing you'd like to see in the future for OMC's, especially related to Zero Hour, feel free to drop me an e-mail at mastermind2004[at]gmail[dot]com.

Congratulations to all ZH mappers who participated in this portion of the Open Map Competition 3. Mastermind2004 also thanks all the judges who did the pain-staking work of... well, judging of course. :p Again, a job well done to everyone.

I wonder how those RA2 judges are doing... ¬¬ :p
