Introducing jump of the week and run of the week!

Tort and I are starting a weekly video series entitled JOTW and ROTW. Basically, you guys submit us demos to tf2rjdropbox@gmail.com. We will watch your demos and decide on that week’s jump of the week or run of the week. We will then make a video of it and upload it to our youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TF2RJweekly. We will strive to produce high quality content, both in terms of jumps and editing. It won’t be just tort and I unanimously doing the deciding fyi, we’ve recruited some demo judgers.

ROTW - Run of the week. The most impressive speedrun we receive of a jump map. This doesn’t have to be flawless, just as long as it beats out the other runs we receive in terms of difficulty. It can be as demoman or soldier. It can also be something like a soldier run on a demoman map. Only demoman and soldier though (no concing or scout jumping or something like that). You may use regen, but ONLY if it's necessary (like a soldier run on jump_koi for instance). It may be a section of a map such as the blue side of jump_annex or a full map run.

JOTW - Jump of the week. The most impressive jump we receive. It can be on any map (even dev textured ones), and any type of jump (team or solo, soldier or demo, etc). It’s up to you, just be creative and show off a hard-to-do jump and you’ll have a good chance of making it. I must warn you that submissions like a series of speedshots on stock maps will have a very low chance of making it as a jotw. Already done jumps like the quint sync on pagoda won't have a chance either.

Submission requirements are as follows:

How to make a demo:

We hope to see some genuine interest and high quality jumps :D Please spread this around to your friends, we want this to be a success. I personally want this to showcase some rising stars, not just the already well-known pros in the tf2 jump community. Hopefully we'll get some submissions from relatively unknown players.

Follow us on twitter: https://twitter.com/tf2rjweekly

Feel free to ask questions, I’ll answer them for ya.

eh no, but for jotw, you can go backwards on a jump map if you want.

May want to remove the . from the end of the URL.  Causing a 404 for those people not smart enough to notice it (most, i'd assume)

old demos are fine, and that sounds great klanana :D

x dias, monthly would be too long of a gap... jotw/rotw is only one jump and one run, surely we can get that at least once a week.

That all depends.  Are you going to accept competition on the same map?  Lesser runs of the same map?  There are only so many maps people can run, and even less when someone sets a really good time (think burger on rush).

Weekly could work for a while, but you might run out of content.  If I can manage to get my hands on JA or something to do engineer runs, I'll do what I can to help bring variety  :D

We'll accept anything, but that doesn't guarantee it'll make it as a jotw/rotw. Obviously, we'll use the fastest run if we get multiple runs of the same map. If someone gets a faster run than a previous rotw on the same map, then we may use that as well. I'd want to avoid showing slower times than previous rotw's though.

I just knew there would be ppl doubting that we won't get enough demos. A good jump takes something like 1-3 hours to pull off. A solid speedrun takes even less if you're good. Clearly, there is plenty of potential to have enough content. It does not take long to make a jump/speedrun demo. Just from myself alone I could produce enough jumps/speedruns for this thing. The only way imo we won't have enough is if people choose not to make/submit demos, which would be a shame seeing as how we're providing people an opportunity to showcase cool jumps without the effort of video making on your part.

As for you saying there's not enough maps to speedrun, there are like... what? 50 maps? In addition to soldier runs on demo maps and vice versa and course or full map runs, there is definitely enough out there to speedrun.

And I didn't think about engy speedrunning, though tbh I'm not too sure about that. It takes too long to traverse through a map with engy considering the build time and whatnot. But if you show something interesting enough it'll be okay.

If I find that I'm too noobish to participate in the jumps I'll look into serious mapmaking.

As xdias said props to you if you can get enough submissions to do it weekly for any extended period of time.  Maybe it will motivate me to jump.
