Mapcore's CS:GO Mapping Contest 2017

[Tokit 7]

I have a question about using models and textures from other maps, is it okay if some textures are used from a map included with CSGO? For example I'm using some textures and models from cs_agency on my map since they fit in really well and I don't have any modelling skills right now to be making my own models.

Rule 13: Judges, Experts, and individuals associated with organizing this contest CANNOT enter nor provide material assistance to map entrants.

Is making me think I can't use them due to one of the judges being Puddy, the guy who made cs_agency or does that rule just mean they can't help you make the map?

It has been 11 days now, c'mon I know at least one of the judges has probably read my post by now. Can I get an answer?

Those assets were (very generously!) released publicly. As such, anyone including yourself is free to use them in our contest!

Weren't the mappers supposed to demonstrate the map was started from scratch and not art passed months ago?

The relevant standard is that the map wasn't released in a state beyond Greybox.

I am retiring from the contest, because I haven't had the time to start anything. Being at the point of having finished my master's degree, too many changes required all my time that I had rather spent into mapping. I haven't opened Hammer/3DS Max for a month now.

I wish all the contestants a lot of strength and hope they are able to realise their dreams in level design

Question for the judges, will the judging process be record/streamed so that mappers can hear and see the critiques?

[Ringel 181]

Hmm the day starts and end with midnight.

Important question: Do we have time until the start or the end of the 30. November? I'm confused.

[poLemin 439]

Midnight of the 30th - That means 12pm PST of the 30th. Therefore (if Germany is where you are right now) you have time until Friday December 1st 8am. (I am not an official tho, it's just how I read this)

Yes it is also how I  have read it. But then I thought about it and got confused looked at wikipedia. Read that midnight is the start of the day but also the end. I wanted to make sure it I'm not a day too late.
