It's sort of working more or less now. Occasionally it will slip up but it's configuring for Portal more regularly.This may have been addressed before, but how will the prizes be distributed between team entries? I'm going to assume that there won't be a signed poster and $30 game for everyone.
The poster will have to be for only one of the members, I'll let you decide how that works out. The nonspecific prizes will be for each team member.

I just hope there is not just one map to play after the deadline. 
Working my ass off with this ~secret~ map, I suppose even if I don't finish it by the contest deadline I'll still release what I have around then (it's rather holiday-specific)
Sorry to bother you peoples, but just a question regarding the submission of maps (I like to be annoying and in-depth)
Pretty much I'm ready to post my stuff to the contest.
Can I upload it to the workshop/TWP as well as to mAI - or would this break some kind of submission rule? Because I would like to upload it to the workshop and post a link to the workshop page, that way I get ratings and plays straight away.
- I am going to list everything custom made with references to everything else.

It's fine if you upload it other places, in fact I encourage you to do so, however I would like to request you at least mention it was made for this site, if not have a link - it is mostly a publicity contest, after all
It's fine if you don't, it would just be great if you did.
I cant edit it because it I get this error:
[attachment=0:3t2uyi68]Untitled-1.jpg[/attachment:3t2uyi68]
Also I must be blind because I see no option to delete the map and re-do it.
Is there an uploading guide / managing thread somewhere? I tried both looking in announcements and searching.
I'm on it. Hang tight.
Edit: okay, it's a code sanitation thing. That is to say, I have none of it. The brackets and slashes in the bbcode are fucking up the SQL query.
Edit2: Temporary fix, I'll update your post manually from the admin panel, you can fix it as you see fit.
It doesn't matter for now. I got all I needed in it.

Congratulations friend, you have discovered the mess that is the site's filesystem right now
Does this mean he will get a medal? Be a big shame if he did not.
Three days left, looking forward to it. 
Workshop autodetection isn't, but I'll get to that tomorrow, along with a couple other things I need to clear up before the contest is over.

Lots of wind here, unrelated to the Hurricane though. Power's sketchy. If my power, and thus my internet go out preventing me from uploading will it be acceptable to apply for an extension?
Yeah, sure thing. No more than a day or two, though.

Yeah, wasn't expecting more than a day of no power. The wind seems to have died down with only some flickers (Although I hear the school nearby lost power for a little bit) so there probably won't be any need.
