Results for September's Monthly Beatmapping Contest (MBC) are here! If you're unsure of how any of this works, be sure to read the MBC wiki article.

To avoid what was essentially a 5-way tie for 2nd place, "theme" scores from all judges are doubled and final scoring is based on raw totals. The category was initially scored out of 10. Modifying this category was deemed most appropriate because it is the focus of the contest. Winnerxbopost has completely dominated the MBC.
He earned first place in June's contest. He earned first place in July's contest. And while he didn't submit to August's, he earned first place in September's contest by a landslide!
His submission of PUP - See You At Your Funeral shows just how xbopost sets himself apart from the crowd.
While most submissions could be described as "normal maps with lots of overlaps", xbopost's 3.76 star Expert difficulty took a truly unique approach. He legitimately tried to overlap each object with the previous object, throwing away the standard patterns that all other entries utilized, yet still being universally recognized as the most impressive map by both MBC's screeners and judges. It's a gameplay and map design experience that you'll regret missing out on, so give it a play!
Given his MBC track record and his incredible performance this month, xbopost is justified in his new profile badge and the Elite Mapper forum title!

Check out the MBC leaderboards if you're curious about who else might reach these heights soon! Runner-upFor those familiar with UndeadCapulet's mapping, their performance as this month's runner-up should be no surprise.
All of their maps heavily involve overlaps and their submission of PUP - Kids continues the trend! If you're looking for a more difficult overlap-focused map than the winner, you're in the right place!
Having another runner-up position under their belt from February's contest, UndeadCapulet has reached the threshold for the first tier MBC profile badge!
