Quite good.
My only complaint was the texture set. I think a more dingy, industrial-ish texture set would make this map look a lot better. The gameplay, however, was pretty good and you offered a range of paths to choose to take, which was nice.

As for the scripts top-side, the leader actually comes out and makes his signal. It takes quite a while before the others arrive, though. I guess it's just a bad timing issue, or because the others can't reach their scripted_sequence because someone else is still in their way...

The hallways are small, wich can make your goals pretty difficult to achieve, as each grunt needs some space to move... So that's a first thing to mind.
The first three grunts should have the same squad-name, so the others will come when the leader sees you. Also place info_nodes so the grunts know where to move and how to find their way to attack you.
The scripts topside are a bit strange. Often, I became stuck in the func_wall_toggle. Place it a bit further away so players can't get stuck in it anymore. Also, set it's Render Amount to 0, as when you shoot it you see white decals, seemingly in mid-air, wich looks strange off-course. Also, suddenly locking the player in invisible walls isn't a very neat way to let him get ambushed. It feels so 'fake'...
As for the lighting, you should make those small circular lamps entities so they don't split up the ceiling surfaces, wich takes away that strange lighting issue you probably meant...

mulle: you shouldn't tie everything to entities as, even if you set them to cast shadows, it'll take longer to compile. Good lighting is more important, though - don't make walls with light streaming through!

there are a lot of sliding doors to make you go into the correct teleport. Personly i think teleports are more usful, easier to use then useing multiple triggers for all the doors, but that is your opinion so thanks for the advice. Just so you know you only enter into the tournament through a teleport pretty much. Then doors slide open when you press a button to go onto the next round. I havn't been able to play this with other people...that is why I want the ip of a server that someone is going to put it on!

Not sure why the type changed to HL. Last time I checked it was set to TFC.
You cant tell if it's a series of maps or not? You should be able to tell from the description but, if you're new to HL mapping/editing, I can understand not being able to tell.
It is a fairly big file size but, every kilobyte is for a good cause.

Not so much as towards teleporting, but from what I hear and vote, we need more close range and kniving maps. It's a good idea, yet sliding doors would be less hassle and more interesting then teleports. Maybe 2 or 3 teleports would be cool...

No, it wasn't mentioned due to lack of time, and space on the results page. I emailed Andy, and he definitely got it. He said he liked it, but it didn't place.

The moominade vending machine has no buttons...
Aside from that, nice additions.
Though r_speeds are a bit high. Probably because you've poured a lot of brushes into one entity, so that it's stretched over multiple leafs, so the engine renders the entity nearly always. I'd suggest using some more and smaller entities.

Good one.
Several textures in Half-Life were designed to use across multiple brushes, as can be seen in Half-Life itself. Strangely enough, this is often forgotten about.

<Seventh-Monkey> MulleBoy: very nice map <MulleBoy> <Seventh-Monkey> I still really think you should change the textures though <Seventh-Monkey> really nice architecture, but that green colour spoils it a lot <Seventh-Monkey> the spawn room either needs more work or to be shrunk a lot <Seventh-Monkey> and some stuff to do would be good (computers, easter eggs, cool stuff) <Seventh-Monkey> only 4* 'cos've the texturing m'afraid

in vault item: Bowling ProblemsComment #3077
i think its good but i too made a bowling map years ago, my pins are func_doors so when the ball comes by a trigger multiply it press by the ball and the door/pin moves down. i pre made textures giveing u a 90 secound time limit (good enought for 2 bowls even how fast u try to go) and i got a reset button also.it makes the invis bumper disaper after u press reset and close to replay. on bowling u ger +1 score per pin. test bow makes a ball come from the floor and knocks down pens then it goes throw a tunnel through several of things to make it so the door closes so the next time u press test bowl it will come back up and throw, i got an wall_toggle angle wall shooting it aside to its path. but u gotta good map.
