Look, if you people run out of time, then focus getting the actual Test Chamber finished! Thats the most important part in the map. Just get rid of those extra area's. If your Test Chamber really kicks ass, you still might stand a change of winning. Not likely, though, but try.

Yea. He's right.
My entry to Xen Transportation was the biggest, and it had the most special effects, but I only got 3rd place, cause there was no strong link to Xen..

Elon: In the 3 and a half hours between your last three posts, you could have made an acceptable test chamber instead of complaining you dont have time

Now I'm too lazy and I saw a movie! 
Of course I could have made it but I need costum sounds... 
I had a problem with stay open doors! I forgot to check a flag and I recreated the whole 4 doors(with triggers) 3 times...that beat me up!
Edit:
Bahh...my place isn't with hammer I like drawing it's much funner but it takes more time to get everything ready...

Kasperg; though you can do a whole lot in three hours, I generally need more time than just that to create a full-fledged environment. (Both brush- as entitywise.) So just labeling as lazy because he can't make a test chamber that quick would seem a bit out of place.. 
Of course, labeling him lazy because he's been on the couch watching movies, is totally valid..
Edit Instead of doors, use func_trains to create the doors. Those allow more control.

What would it have helped me if I don't have the sounds! Although I totally agree that I'm lazy. Three doors in 15 minutes is slow...

Use game_text entities like I did in my entry.
I'd personally never base a map in some custom content I'm not sure I'll be capable of making.

Game_text? lol that would be stupid... You'll find my entery in the map vault and afterward I'll make my xen transportation map!
I prefer making a great map not in time then making a bad map in time.

That's an interesting point of view Elon. But when it comes to competition maps, we're not the ones who choose the theme. If I have to map something that is not my best area (like Xen or Black Mesa), I will only do it if there's a reward involved. The other thing (posting after the compo is over) is mapping for fun. And when I map for fun, I usually map whatever I choose, not something with rules and restrictions.
On the other hand, One of my maps (floatingline) actually began as a map for the Glass Competition, so I understand you.
