Spoiler

^ thats the torch

Notes: Yes that is a giant timer you see, and yes that is allot of tnt. The volcano explodes about 1 minute 20 seconds after placing a redstone torch, so just replace the normal torch (pictured) with a redstone torch and then save it. This is my first world and I dont expect it to be perfect at all, if you have any suggestions please tell me.

Sorry to say, but I don't see this map in its current state being added any time soon.

First off, it is quite small - the rounds would not last long, and while nobody likes a slow round nobody likes a round that ends in one minute, either.
Secondly, the gear isn't very spread out throughout the map - perhaps this is a result of the map being so small - meaning that if one person gets to a chest first, there is a good chance he or she will be able to grab the gear from nearby chests before others, not to mention leading to crowds of players chasing after a single chest.
Third, while the TNT mechanism is certainly quaint...there are multiple problems. For one thing, that much TNT, on a server which already has lag problems, would make the game unbearable for some people for a while, not to mention possibly crashing some people's computers. Additionally, it causes so much destruction that it kind of ruins the map - if just enough tnt was set off that the lava started spilling over the sides, it would be cool. Instead the lava gets obliterated (which I've honestly never seen before) and leaves a really ugly obsidian thing in the ruins.

On an aesthetic note, the map just looks a big ugly being in that bowl - if you at least filled the surrounding area with water so that it looked like an ocean (in addition to getting rid of all the weird air holes in the water), it would look a lot better.

It's a good start, but as it is I don't think any of the admins are gonna be adding it any time soon. :/

Ok thanks for considering it. As I said this was my first map and I didnt really expect for it to be accepted anyway. If I have more time I may try again at this sort of thing.

Sorry for the long wait for a verdict to be reached! Unfortunately this map is not yet ready to be put into rotation. Feel free to work on it and re-submit it.
