There were over 30 "work in progress" contest threads made on the tf2maps.net site. These 9 were the people who ran the gauntlet, so to speak, and came out with a good, playable finished map at the end. The actual winner hasn't been decided yet; in fact, one of the reasons the map pack was created was to help people play the maps and vote on a winner.

I've spent more time the past 3 weeks to month playing cashworks.  Since it isn't on these servers much, that means I haven't been on here as often as in the past.  It is definitely better than goldrush and probably badwater as well.  I tried fronteir also, but I haven't had as much of my steam friends playing it, so I haven't play it as much as I could have.  Payload maps in general are better than capture the flag, and most variation of the control point scheme.  Therefore, they should be featured more prominently, not just on late night pubs.

I definitely have a lot of fun on badwater though, and I think payload in particular plays great on highlander matches.
