How I understood, it is old-school competition? Where I can release my map?

About links... Please, add this link to itself on a site. It is very large site devoted to GoldSrc and Source models. Now I translate it into English. Very useful website for any mapper. Enjoy it!

Sorry for my English. I badly study English in school =)

Nothing to worry about your english. I've studied English for 10 years and I'm still a newb (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/icon_biggrin.gif)

And to answer your questions:
1. Old-school, new school, it is important to create a nice map with good design and playability.
2. The team its still debating about where players should upload their maps after their done with it. Nothing to worry, we will find a special place for mappers and we will announce it. 17buddies is doing their best to satisfy everyone.

1. Well, if the wads & models only standard, so contest is old-school.
2. We can upload our maps here - http://www.map-factory.org/counter-strike, and then write links here.

I'm in ninth form now. And I study English 9 years. But I don't know it well (IMG:http://forum.17buddies.rocks/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Therefore I should apologize.
