I'd make a variable in the player class called int_Rounds (or something clever) and then make a custom trigger, that could be called Trigger_Checkpoint. Then make a variable in the Trigger_Checkpoint called int_RoundOfThisTrigger (that can be edited through hammer, see .fgd). Then in the Touch Function of Trigger_Checkpoint, dynamically cast the baseentity* and see if it's a player. If it is a player, then check if the pPlayer->int_Rounds = int_RoundsOfThisTrigger-1, and if it is, then set pPlayer->int_Rounds = intRoundsOfThisTrigger. Of course, the logic has to be expanded, so when the player reaches the goal, the int_Rounds is set to Zero again. But that should be straightforward.
Of course, it could be done with some advanced in-map entity input/output, but it's much simpler (and more reliable) to do it via programming.
