Surf tournament isnt fair + suggestions

[Juxtapo]

mappers are free to ask for donations for their individual maps. I believe GameBanana even has a paypal integration already. KSF puts on these contests to create a fun event for the community and to reward mappers. People donate knowing the judges will be the ones deciding who the money gets passed along to. Also, there were 12 maps made for this most recent contest over a span of 6 weeks - these contests are definitely the most productive period for surf mapping, so I don't think it is discouraging for mappers.

If you look at the KSF playtime on the top 5 maps of the last contest, I'm certain they average much higher than most other maps released around the same time. It's undeniable that these contests are adding value to surf. Our main criteria as judges is how much value each map adds to the surf community.
