How the hell is polish based solely on visuals?
Quote Overall Polish (bug-free maps; maps with Soundscapes; maps which run smoothly; other determinations relating to quality)
Yes, it may cover visuals, but it clearly isn't solely based on visuals. It's based on sound, clipping, optimisation, and many more things.
Some inspiring maps. Great work everyone involved. I can see the Bar has been well and truly set.

Instead of wanting the map with the best overall polish to win, you seem to be more interested in wanting me to accept a map with unfinished assets to get the spot over pretty unique maps that get honorable mentions instead.
I share the points of all the above posts in reply, Oliver in particular expanded on what I meant in my post.
You’re complaining as if the map had won the contest. The competition is still very much open.
Its also been said the scores are gonna be shared so I say hold your horses before riding off against the windmills.
If I knew it would be this upsetting I would have made 2-3 more maps - thought Graveyard was a pretty modest submission, although completely different, Every since the introduction of Flying Scoutsman I've been wanting to piggyback of those mechanics, I really want to test a defuse map in low gravity, would it be competitive? Who knows. Would it be fun? Who knows. Been a few super cool outside-the-box concepts that didn't make it all the way, like that space station and underwater map,
I've really enjoyed the theme and premise of this competition, hopefully it wont be the last! Would be cool to have a dz contest

Graveyard is wild but rough around the edges, clipping passes etc needed at least. I guess people were expecting 'very safe but polished' to win out against that? fuck it man, you do you eh? If the judges see value in what you're doing that's all that matters right now, you have a month to change the doubters minds 
I’m guessing it now: 1st. Anubis 2nd. Swamp 3rd. Mustang The fourth one is anyone’s bet out of this breathtaking top eleven.
As for my personal hopes: 1st. Anubis 2nd. Swamp 3rd. Mustang 4th. Mocha 5th. Ivory
Good luck to you all!

I think you are right. I just has that beautiful simplicity that you don't see in the rest. There is a lot to say but that single point could not be overstated enough.
If the 100-point criteria was used on all maps, will that be publicly released?
Basalt is very nice.
