1 There has been overwhelming feedback from other admins that players don't know which maps are good. Thus I'll probably be changing the map polls at the end of each game to only show featured maps. Before doing so, I'd like some more maps to be featured. This is because I'm of the same opinion as @Jasper, thinking that the current featured map pool is too arbitrary and not a representation of a popular (big teams) map pool. 1 There has been overwhelming feedback from other admins that players don't know which maps are good.

3 In the original implementation, multi-option map polls were showing supported maps because they were intended to completely replace map polls. Most of the time, there's no chance to call manual map polls. I didn't want to rob players of the ability to choose supported maps with a UI change, so I added them to the options. 3 In the original implementation, multi-option map polls were showing supported maps because they were intended to completely replace map polls.

5 The map poll currently displays two popular maps, chosen randomly from the top 20% [url=http://zero-k. info/Ladders/Maps]highest rated maps[/url], as well as two random supported maps. This could be changed to only featured maps. 5 The map poll currently displays two popular maps, chosen randomly from the top 20% [url=http://zero-k. info/Ladders/Maps]highest rated maps[/url], as well as two random supported maps.

6 [spoiler]Except for the ability of admins to set !minmapsupportlevel to featured or higher, which would already now limit all map votes within a room to featured.[/spoiler]

7 If you have a look at the [url=http://zero-k.info/Ladders/Maps]highest rated maps[/url], you'll see that there are quite a few non-featured maps in there. I feel like there are not enough arguments to warrant many of those to be effectively unavailable in teams host. 8 If you have a look at the [url=http://zero-k.info/Ladders/Maps]highest rated maps[/url], you'll see that there are quite a few non-featured maps in there.

9 [size=2]The map ladders are generated from the results of multi-option map polls. Each poll is treated as a 4 way FFA with one winner. Maps are scored using Bayesian Elo. There has only been a very small sample set until now (many maps were only in a single vote) so don't take this too seriously.[/size] 10 [size=2]The map ladders are generated from the results of multi-option map polls.
