Map Assessment

[$atanic $pirit]

This will be a new responsibility for Server Managers. As the name suggests, SMs will be required to make assessment based on map performance on 1st of every month for their respectable server. A thread will be made in forum dedicated to each server. The title will state server identifier (Classic, Official, Dust2, Hybrid, Zombie or Dust2/Inferno) and the month of assessment.

Example: Classic Assessment - February

Your assessment will be based on following factors.

• How well the current maps are doing traffic wise? Do we need to remove any from map cycle?
  
• Are there 32 or more working spawn points on the map? 
  
• Do we need to block any areas of the maps? An example would be the cubby above double doors in Dust2.
  
• Do we need camping meter or camp zone for any of the maps? This doesn't mean strategic camping, but spots like tower right above T spawn on cbble.
  
• SM, admins and regulars of the server can request addition of the new maps. These additions need to be approved by SM and be in touch with the over all feel of the server. Do not request aim maps on Classic. ( Just to give an example)
  
• Finally, What would be the duration of the new maps? Would they be added on default timelimit(30 min) or they need a lower timelimit for players to get used to them?
  

Few factors may not be applicable to all servers, simply ignore them. An assessment must be made, regardless if any change is needed or not. I would also like to stress on this very important detail while choosing new maps. Don't pick a map that you would like to play, pick the map that has a mass appeal.

Some of the chosen few would be promoted to SM spots today, and highers will be expecting the assessment report from you. We need to see an assessment report for each server, no longer than tomorrow. (2-2-2015)

Server performance is the direct reflection of SMs work. This will have a direct effect on you being moved up or down the chain of authority.
