Last Call for Mapmaker Contest and The Future of Learner's League
Hello Everyone. TheSilentChaos from the Frosty Fight Club here. I have some Holiday Announcements for you!
First off, we want to remind you that the submission period for the Frosty Community Mapmaker contest is is almost over.
You will NEED to join the Frosty Fight Club discord and post in the channel #sr-map-submission with the required info. Join here: http://dsc.gg/frostyfightclub
Beginning December 1st, the SR Advisory Counsel (sans anyone who submitted a map) will be reviewing the entries and providing feedback. We will provide ample opportunity to edit the map based on this feedback. After this, we will rereview the map and submit a final score. The maps then will be shown off in the December SR Monthly for everyone to see and for us to get a "player's opinion score" and then for final scoring. We will then submit the final maps to Gert for review and to see if anything would prevent any of the maps to make it into the curated workshop playlist.
We will declare the winners at the January SR Monthly event happening on the 25th (the fourth Saturday of the month).
Secondly, We'd like to announce the evolution of the Learner's League into what is being called SR Elevation, a more expanded and open format for players to self-organize for training, friendlies, and more.
Our Goal will be: "To learn and grow as a community. To ELEVATE new and inexperienced players."
Here is the blueprint for SR Elevation:
Multiple Events (Time Trial Tuesdays, 6 person Round Robin training sessions (mock tournaments), Coaching Checkpoints, and some surprises!)
To Qualify: Players must make a post in the channel #sr-elevation in the thread(s) in the Frosty Fight Club established for this purpose.
There will be threads for players of the following hours/skill levels for sign up:
0-100 hours
101-250 hours
251-500 hours
500-750 hours
751-999 hours
1000+ hours or more
These groups will be organized by one or more coaches or mentors.
If you are 1k hours and/or more and would like to help teach and play with newer players (becoming a mentor), please also post in the #sr-elevation channel in the FFC discord.
The first SR Elevation event will be held next week (weekly to be known as Time Trial Tuesdays) in the form of a time trial event for each group.
Please join and post any questions or feedback for us. 🙂
Thank you all for the support and please take the time to watch out for the upcoming sale on the game itself to support this game moving forward and to get new players into the game.
TheSilentChaos, Volunteer Community Manager and Organizer ❤️
Mapmaker Contest
Hello Mapmakers.. Time for Frosty Mapmaker Contest 2
We will be accepting submission beginning November 1st until the 31st.
You must state the "theme of the map" and adhere and justify it if asked.
You must make a overview of the map and either a video or a detailed post explaining the map and it's design.
Judgement Criteria:
Map Design and Theme (checked against other officials and popular workshop maps)
Overall Judge's Opinion
Players' Voting
You can get up to 100 points in each area and we will take the scores and add them up and average them. This is allow for some leeway for people to be creative.
The judges will be the SR Advisory Council. If a member of the council submits a map, they must abstain from voting. This is to curtail influence in judging/voting.
There will be judges of all skill levels and hours.
VOTING will be held in game and also ONLY in the Frosty Fight Club discord when the contest begins. Voting will begin December and will last until the end of the year. The new year will feature our finalists and then the maps in question will be submitted for review by @Gert-Jan.
Just like last time... MORE THAN ONE map can win if the quality is there. It is at @Gert-Jan if they get added to the curated workshop.

The finals of "Lord of the Runs" is now! Tune in here: https://twitch.tv/frostyfightclub
One run to rule them all!!!
On September 29th at 11am PDT or 2pm EDT, 8 players will fight for the title of Lord of the Runs.
We began with 32 players and only Nicolas (The current King of Speed), Redz, Bensen, Myddo, Ezma, Ahmad, and David survived.
The future is littered with boxslopes, rockets, icebeams, drills, and spikes. Who will make it to our Grand Championships!
Make sure to tune in at: https://twitch.tv/frostyfightclub We go LIVE with the pre-show at 10:30 am PDT/1:30 pm EDT with analysis and recap from the previous groups.
Right now, the tournament is configured for a top 4 payout with the prize pool currently standing at $520.14 (as of the time of this writing).
There is a special second strech goal unlock at $750 or more where we'll be able to pay out the Top 8 as a whole and not just the top 4.
However, This means you met the goal of beating $420.69 (KoS prize pool) and have unlocked something truly special.
This means Gert-Jan, one of the creators and developer of Speedrunners, will be facing TheSilentChaos, Community Organizer from Frosty Fight Club, in the FIRST TO FIVE set LIVE during the FINALE. He might also answer some questions during this time for you all.
This is your last reminder to purchase your Supporter Badge as when the first match goes LIVE during the finale, they will be no longer available for purchase! If we get $750 or more, TheSilentChaos will have to fight LordSmeef in a 2v2 showcase match where we each get a partner!
Purchase it here: https://ko-fi.com/s/fcc9d2a443
The badges from this tournament and the supporter badge will go live in a couple weeks after the event. Please keep a eye on the steam news for some upcoming news regarding upcoming contests, monthlies, and more!
