British & Irish Pro Series - BIPC 2023

The second edition of the BIPC (British & Irish Professional Cup) will take place in early 2023. We’re looking for high quality competitive maps to celebrate the pinnacle of the BITM calendar.
Our previous competitions 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.

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.
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
