Submission Rules

Rules differ slightly depending on the format

Map Submission Rules

Verify maps in the current update only

Your map must be verified in the current update in order to be accepted, maps verified and accepted in older updates will remain on the list unless proven impossible.

List Changes

Impossible maps will be removed

Maps deemed to be impossible on chimps by the list moderators will be removed from the list until verified in the current update.

Changing List Maps

You may not replace a current list map with an updated version unless that map falls of the list or if the map has identical gameplay.
Once a map is on list it may not be removed unless both the creators and victors of the map agree with removing the map, or unless other removal rules apply.

List Map Quality Standards

Whether the map meets our quality standard will be determined by a vote by list moderators. Generally these standards arent too strict,you can use recently accepted maps as a point of reference.

In general, if a map is rejected, it falls in one or more of these categories:

  1. Map is too similar to an existing map.
  2. Map does not meet the required difficulty.
  3. Map does not meet the required visual quality.
  4. Map does not meet the required gameplay quality.

Run Submission Rules

How to Submit

To submit a run, you must submit a valid screenshot after Round 100 is completed by showing either the tower screen after pressing the Review Map button, or that the current round is 101 or higher. You can submit runs either through the Maplist Discord server or by clicking the Submit Run button on the website on a map's page.

Be prepared to list your build order, hardest rounds, early game setup, etc. if your run is deemed suspicious. Doesn't happen often, but it can happen.

Black Border Runs, Alt Hero Runs, and LCCs

Point modifiers

  • Black Border runs are worth 3x points
  • Alt Hero runs (heroes other than the best hero(s) on the map) are worth 2x points
  • LCCs are worth +20 points

Proof Requirements

  • Black Border runs must have completely unedited video proof
  • Alt Hero and LCC runs must be streamed with 2 moderators as witnesses, or have video proof following the requirements below.

Recording Requirements

Recordings are not always needed for proofs. Check the rules to see if your run does

  • In game music and SFX must be audible and not at 0%.
  • Audio must only consist of the game itself, and any VC audio during recording.
  • The recording must consist of unedited clips of each round from 91 - 100 (unlike the Expert List, which requires 98 - 100).
  • Any splices or sections in the recording must reveal all installed mods.
  • Once you beat r100 you must go home and once again show your mod list or lack thereof.
