If we're following the rules of previous contests, the problems that PortalFan found in sbrown's map will have to stand. After the contest, you can update the map, but the submitted version should be fixed.
There not problems, i tested the entire map multiple times.
Good man. My bad. I meant to put something in like "if they are indeed bugs".
[/spoiler]
Here are the answers:
Saving and Loading dont work on your map sbrown 
I encountered this bug too.
(percentage calculation sphere self-test failed!)
108.1% done, -8.1% remaining...
Released here!
All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.
Im stuck in the room with the ball launcher next to an orange portal and a button plus catcher on the other side of the water. Theres a box dropper but it didnt drop a box for me
On another note I think the problem with saving and loading might be to do with a logic_relay or logic_auto triggering something it shouldn't via an OnLoad output. Just a guess tho so I'm probably wrong
