The reverse gravity gimmick can stay. Just don't overlap the stage and make sure to put some linedef execs to keep regular gravity right before, anti-gravity right after. Therefore, if you need to respawn upside-down, you can do so.
The whole point of the reverse-gravity gimmick was to allow me to fold the stage over. If I didn't do that, there'd be no reason to have the reverse gravity! Also, I tried my hardest to make it flip you at each starpost, but some of them just wouldn't work. x-x
 
Ah well, I guess this oldbie has lost his touch. I probably shouldn't be mapping anymore. :P

Ah, I got the votes for your map and Mach's map confused in Chrome's post. Every map in his post was in-order with my first post except for those two maps. This, compounded by the fact that the map numbers were removed, made me not notice that I was entering data into the wrong field.

In the future, people should post their votes in the order that the maps appear in the first post. It makes it a lot less confusing for me to record the results. If you want to make it even easier, just copy and paste the list from the first post and use that as a guide for making your reviews.

EDIT: The first post has been updated with the Excel spreadsheet I use for organizing and calculating the results. If you notice any problems, please be sure to let me know.

Wow, I never expected that I'd get either second place or shared second place with my maps. Maybe if I voted for the multiplayer maps, my averages would've gotten higher.
 
If you had voted for the multiplayer maps, Spherallic, Crystalline Caves Zone would have gotten a 7.75 and Abandoned Disco Zone would have gotten a 6.5. That's still not quite a win, but of course, with so few votes, outliers are more likely to make a difference, and that's the case in this contest. If more people had voted I suspect the results would be very different.

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out to everyone that didn't vote that if your personal favorite didn't come out on top, it's entirely your fault. I'm extremely surprised at the lack of dropped votes, as they really CAN help you. Spherallic's not voting dropped him from 0.11 behind, where pretty much anything could have pushed him over to win, to 0.64 behind, a clear second place. Even if you don't think you're in the running to win, voting will improve the results of the contest and also is a great way to improve your own mapping skills, as playing other people's maps and attempting to determine what makes the map work or not work can be dramatically helpful in avoiding the same pitfalls in your own work.

On the other hand, I am really happy with the quality we had here, especially in the match contest. 4 maps above 7 is great, especially compared to last contest.

The average is 5.22, which is pretty decent, I'd say. Still, it's lower than the three 1.09.4 contests from 2009, but those had really high-quality single player rotations.
 
Honestly, the average SHOULD be 5, by definition. Hence, contests that get significantly above 5 were simply being voted on incorrectly, generally. It's more a demonstration of the opinion of voters in how to vote than the quality of the maps involved.

More like contests that get significantly above 5 have quite a few above average maps, and vice versa. (although people still do vote incorrectly.
