So, got some (by some, I mean lots) questions:
(Some of these questions aren't based around myself, but I know some people might want to know the answers.)

Balanced means symmetrical, avg. of 10 caps in OvD pickup, works well for all classes, or what combination of those?

What forms of CTF can I my map be for (CTF / RCTF / Shutdown CTF / OvD CTF / other custom CTF-based gametype)?

Can I put my map on #ff.pickup before the contest ends to test the map?

Can I add large parts to my map from an already existing map?

Can the layout of my map be similar to an already existing map?

Can I enter multiple maps?

When do I upload my map? Do I have to do it before the contest ends, or do I do it just after the contest ends?

Do I have to upload my map to the public? Can I just send it to you, and you distribute it?

Do I place screenshots of my map in this thread or another one?

When do I place my screenshots? Can I upload them before the contest ends, or just after the contest ends?

Can I make my map another thread on the forums?

Can my contest map be an unfinished version that I will work on after the contest ends?

Can I use special class limits on my map?

Can I create a custom Lua for my map, or must it use base_ctf?
(If I can use Security CTF, do I use base_shutdown, or can I copy the code from ff_aardvark, which is much more streamlined and better?)
(If I can use Reverse CTF, do I use base_ctf and switch around flag places and cap places, or or can I copy the code from ff_epicenter, which is more detailed and features a system designed for RCTF - not OvD RCTF?)

If I can create a custom Lua, does it have to be similar to the specified CTF gamemode (not much custom code), or can it contain as much custom code as I want (allowing for rather crazy custom CTF gametypes)?
