The second edition of the BIPL (British & Irish Professional League) will take place in mid 2023. We’re looking for high quality competitive maps to celebrate this exciting league format which will be played in divisions of 16 players over a span of 6 weeks.
Our previous competitions (BIPC & BIPL S1) are proof of our commitment to the best possible competitive environment for our players. You can expect sustained high quality production and gameplay throughout the event, highlighting your mapping talents to the fullest.
Submissions/Deadlines
Submissions will be open up until June 18th – we will then choose maps and provide feedback/changes ready in time to create promo videos and material. The competition will start in late July/early August

Mapping Guidelines
Style: Mixed Competitive. We are looking for maps with a good balance of difficulty and variety of surfaces. Specifically, we want to avoid maps with a heavy focus on a single surface or style. We are also looking to avoid extreme difficulty spikes such as overly risky finishes.
Difficulty: Hard. These tracks will be played at a high level of competition. While we are not looking for TMGL identities, the focus is on tough tracks that will be hard to learn for top competitors, and where time gains are possible through the entire track.
Scenery: We do not require more than minimal scenery - submitted tracks will be judged solely on their routes.
Blockmixing & custom blocks: Allowed, provided it causes no glitches and isn't too hard on the FPS.
Please send in a replay of the author medal along with the map – these can be DM’d to an admin or included in the map upload
