Uploading Maps To Share

What If

I kind of think it would be cool if there was a section on the scrimmaging server where teams could upload maps they have made. Not only allowing others to scrimmage with them online but also giving the option to download them for testing offline.

Pros

Other teams and the devs could see more maps and test cases for bots. You would get to see maps that other players share which may help you to realize your bot doesn't work in some edge case, like let's say a really tight maze maybe, lol.

Cons

There are none, shut up, lol. Let's do this. Map uploading hype.

Reality

You can actually share files through git or irc but come on, where's the fun in that. Plus the logistics keep that from being nearly as cool as the ability to drop them right onto the scrimmage server.
