Contest idea by Linguica
-- based on the Unreal Tournament 5 Cubes contest.
"Create an original pwad that is Boom-compatible (and playable as a single level) with 10 sectors or less."

First prize:  a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP graphics card

Project Leader: Andrew Stine

Reviewers:  Andrew Bassett, Matthew Dixon, Martin Friberg, and Gaston Lahaut.

There were 138 pwad entries.

First place: Michal Mesko for Last Call (Map30)
Second place: NokturnuS for The Black Wind of Mayhem (Map29)
Third place: Lee Syzmanski for Eviscer-Station  (Map28)
Fourth place: Jonathan Rimmer for Gas Panic (Map27)

Doomworld would like to thank all contest entrants, everyone who played the maps, and, of course, Hissy.
 



The 138 submitted levels were merged into 5 megawads for judging purposes,
with the first four containing 30 levels each and the 5th containing 18
levels.  Judges then designated their picks by saying which megawad of the
5 the level was in, and which map slot it filled within that megawad.  The
judges were asked to list their favorite 32, 10, 3, and 1, with levels
within the lists in no particular order.

Here are the judging results.

Mord  = Gaston Lahaut
Matt  = Matthew Dixon
AndrB = Andrew Bassett
Cocnn = Martin Friberg

* The Winners *

FIRST PLACE:

Quite surprisingly, there was a two-way tie for first place.  5/12 was
picked as the best WAD of them all by two of the four judges, as was 05/05.
What put 05/12 over the top, so to speak, was the fact that it was the
third judge's top 3, and the fourth judge's top 10.  It was one of only two
WADs to be in the top 10 of all four judges, and the only one to be in
three of the judges' top 3.  05/05, on the other hand, was a third judge's
top 10, and not even on the fourth judge's top 32.  05/12 became Map30 in
this megawad.

SECOND PLACE:

With 05/05 and 05/12 being almost identical in the judges' standings, 05/05
was an easy choice for second place.  05/05 became Map29 in this megawad.

RUNNERS-UP:

Originally, 05/05 and one other WAD were going to share runner-up status,
but the difficulty of choosing only one other WAD to fill out the top three
led to arbitrarily calling 05/05 "second place" and choosing two more
runners-up.  04/12 and 04/20 were both very high in the judges' rankings,
with 04/12 being in two of the judges' top 3 picks, while 04/20 was only in
one; but then 04/20 was in all four of the judges' top 10 picks, while
04/12 was only in three, and not even in the top 32 of the fourth judge.
04/12 and 04/20 became Map28 and Map27 in this megawad.
