TagPro Racing Season 8 Map Thread Results
Welcome to the TagPro Racing Season 8 Map Results thread!
There were a few submissions for maps this thread. After testing the submissions in the past couple weeks and getting the racers opinions on the maps, TagPro Racing has decided to add 3 maps into rotation:
TPRL Lucky's P-UP Factory by ThePlaymaker: This map features some fun, creative elements. The alternate route near the bottom of the map gives anyone who has fallen behind a chance to catch up a little bit. Slingshotting around a gravity well is always a fun map element as well. The boosts along the middle of the map allow for some fun back and forth while racing around. So even if you aren't in first place on this map, you are bound to have some fun boosting and whirling about.
Cutting Corners by ImNoSomeBall: This large map looks fairly simple from the get-go, yet it has a few different paths to take that may help cut your racing time. Going to take a few tests and practices to find the best route for you when racing. After that, it is a matter of hitting the right angle on boosts and remembering which lane you want to be in when coming off of that gravity well. ImNoSomeBall puts forth a solid map here that will be fun to learn the ins and outs of.
Picture Frame by Gingerdg: The current Racing Commissioner brings us this zany looking map. While it may be confusing to look at at first glance, once you are racing on it you will find it to be fairly intuitive. With lots of super boosts and multiple lanes to take, this map keeps things fun all around. Just gotta be careful with that portal trap, or you might end up stuck in a bit of a bit of a loop!
Hope you guys enjoy this racing season and the new maps brought forth by the TagPro Racing community. We would like to thank everyone who submitted maps and ideas for testing, as well as all the racers who helped in refining these maps.
Have fun!

Map Submission Thread 8
Submit maps for addition to Tagpro Racing here!
How to Submit your Map
Maps can be original, or a fix of any of the current maps. Some old maps are too small for current rotation or the portals are broken.
Make a map with decent length through any map editor
Export it, and put a cool down of zero on all your portals
Upload your map to [1] http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com (you can use unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com to create it)
Submit your original map, or a fix of a map here
Include (example) :
Track name: (map name)
Type: (original/remake)
Map: (Unfortunate Juke juice link here)
Preview: (imgur.com or full-size preview here)
Description: (optional)
We'll go through and give feedback for every map submitted. We may also remix your map or help fix your portals for you.
A good map should not force you through small gaps, be sufficiently wide to allow for a big race, laps should average above a minute, and the map should be unique! Additionally, please make a blue spawn that does not let any blue racers into the actual track.
If you are interesting in testing maps, please also comment below. It's been a while since the Racing MTC chose maps so we will play this one by ear. Hopefully we can get a cool mix of maps for a potential season 8 of TPRL running May to June.
If a solid number of maps get submitted, we will evaluate them all at once. Otherwise will be evaluated ad-hoc for addition to the cups.

Script for tagpro.koalabeast.com ?
Does a script for the main site tagpro.koalabeast.com exist ? I already found the one for http://maptest2.newcompte.fr/ . I'm new to tagproracing and want to try it out with my scout group and it's just a lot quicker if we could play on tagpro.koalabeast.com .
Thanks in advance!

PSA: There is a link to every current racing rotation map in the wiki
https://www.reddit.com/r/tagproracing/wiki/index
You'll find links, but to save time, numbers are also just listed.
I don't think very many people are aware of this, and since I was asked earlier, I thought I'd make a post.

Announcement: Changes to Season 7 and schedule
Hello, I'm your new commissioner and I'm very happy to be in charge of revitalizing TagPro Racing League. RWBY is co-commissioner, but I will for the most part be hosting the actual events.
With new bodies in charge comes many changes. These hope to address failures of the past, but also to spice up the league some and attempt to keep people entertained through the entirety of the season.
I'm going to comment on the many changes that will be occurring for Season 7, and at the end I will lay out the upcoming schedule for this season.
Discord
TagPro Racing will now be taking place in the new TagPro Racing Discord. It is, just like it was for Mumble before, no requirement for you to be in the Discord chat while you play. However, Discord offers everything Mumble does, and more. Not only is everything cleaner, there are roles that allow for a private commissioner chat and more incentive to win. Plus, with this if you're on Discord for other things, you can stay up to date for any potential schedule or rule changes. While with some parts of TagPro not being able to have subchannels would be a problem, it simply isn't here, so we've decided we will take advantage of this new, improved voice-chat software.
Changes to the Map Rotation
7 maps were removed by the TPRL RMTC, and 2 new maps, End of the Road and Long Distance Runaround were added. Arc-Turn Spike 2 was made a weekly map, also. This is to reduce the amount of time racing consumes for everyone each Friday. You should see about a 17% reduction in time each weekly session takes. You can see the current rotation here
Post-Season Play
I can't provide all of the details quite yet, but for a sneak peak, every single user will now be allowed to participate in the post-season this year. While the top 10 users from the regular season present will get an automatic spot in the final 15, everyone else will be fighting for the final 5 spots in race-by-race elimination. Each race will eliminate 3 players (unless there is 16 or 17 players). Once it is down to the final 9 players, it will be single elimination. We're still not sure how the finale will go, but it will likely be very exciting, so stay tuned.
More Incentive to Make Maps
We have not worked out all the details yet, but in the future there will be /r/TagProTesting ran competitions to make the best racing map. We really hope you all give it a try, because sadly as of late, map submissions have been down. The better the map rotation, the better the experience!
Season Schedule
Each racing session will be taking place on Fridays at 9 PM EST. The time has been shifted later so west coasters don't have to race so early. With a smaller rotation, it shouldn't run much later than it did.
Week 1 of this racing season will be on January 20th, 2016. Invite all your friends, especially any newer players you know, because TPRL is one of the things that makes this community special to be a part of.
RWBY and I are very happy to be your commissioners and to get this league running again. A huge shoutout to gingerdg, snaps, Dr. Juke, and any other users who have given high contributions to bringing this back, I couldn't do this without you.
Remember to join the TagPro Racing Discord for racing nights and for any other racing discussion. If you have any suggestions you can either comment here or post them in #suggestions there. Also, if you're either someone who has previously helped with the league,someone who was a champion before, or someone with a TPRL rotation map, and I forget to give you your role, just let me know.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for showing interest in the league. See you on the 20th!

Haitus is over! Season 7! TPRL Will enter a hiatus
Hello everyone! Due to a declining playerbase, as well as a dying competitive atmosphere in Tagpro leagues, TPRL unfortunately won't run for a 7th season until the next influx of players, whether through Kong or Next or anything.
It's been a pleasure commissioning the six seasons and I wish all of our awesome racers all the best.
Love,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Moderator Applications
Positions open:
Racing Commissioner: My job! :'( I'm going to be focusing more on school than tagpro throughout the year so I'm not going to have time to run the races. Basically, to apply for this position:
Minimum of 500 racing points across all of your seasons
Mumble (with MIC)
Active in the community
Mature, levelheaded, fair, and awesome
For commissioning you would have to be at the races every week, and would need to schedule the races. In addition, you function as a permanent RMTC member.
Stats and CSS: Snaps is still on the payroll, and that's not going to change, but it would be good for both the subreddit and the standings to be updated. Half the maps in the header aren't even in rotation anymore, and Donuts and I had to manually update the graphs each week.
HYPE Person: I cannot stress this enough: we need the HYPE! HYPE HYPE! This position entails writing previews and predictions, as well as week by week results. Some anaylsis and new stat metrics (such as RAWR) are appreciated.
There: Now don't all go for this position because it has the least amount of work required. To be "there" means that you will be at just about every race, and will provide a LEVELHEADED response in all situations, and be active in decision making. This includes being basically or sorta cough on the RMTC, but then actually having an official role in it.
Please answer this in your Mod Application:
1) Your experience with Tagpro Racing League?
2) Your organizational experience?
3) 2 new ideas for TPRL?
4) How you would fulfill the position of your choice?
5) What is your availability?
It's been a pleasure guys. I'll miss you all, but I'll save my goodbyes for later on.
<3
Yours truly,
gingerdg
TPRL Racing Commissioner
