Purpose
To provide a place where players can experience the joys of Capture the Flag. (or at the current time, Capture the Tower)
History
Macpants was derping around Youtube when they happened upon a video by the Rooster Teeth folks where they had built an arena for playing "Capture the Tower." A thought crossed Mac's mind that went something like, "I don't think we have anything like that on Cubic Worlds yet. I think I'll build it!" All labor (minus mirroring the bottom floor and placing command blocks -see below), from terraforming to the glass covering was done by Macpants.

Status
Southwest Summit Arena will be moved to the 1.7 world when the time comes.
The arena is functional, in that teams could play games in it. Although, it should be considered in "beta" form because its creator does not know it's limits, complete risks to competitors and spectators, or difficulty. Future assistance with play-testing would be appreciated.
Past tests were done in previous versions. Revisions have been made (cactus maze, item dispensing equipment, rule board, synchronized starting gate, etc.)
To do

Notes
Thank you's to:
- Zolyx for assistance with the lava placement (lava now removed. How sad) and placing/programming command blocks for the item dispenser equipment
- ndrwdvdrwlnds for the buckets Mac never used :)
- pixelb0x0rz for smooth stone donation
- Fubaka for mirroring and placing half of cactus maze
- All who have participated in the two CTT tournaments and provided feedback in the forum discussion
Trivia
- Macpants worked on the glass roof while listening to the Complete Symphonic version of Les Miserables (in English)
- Much work was completed on the complementary parts of this build, such as the rail line and the pathway and staircase from the rail station but were completed during February on this year. As many experienced, this was the period which was lost due to the "Great Rollback." The work has since been repaired/redone.
