Well looking at the Weekly medal awards and noticing that most RCT2 tracks and Scream Machine tracks almost always recieve a medal, due to the fact that on average only 5 or less tracks are uploaded. So for example look here:

http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5082

And look at this particular area, RCT2:

Gold: Omega Sentry - GRIM - 8.58
Silver: The Loch Ness - RensOwen2 - 7.33
Bronze: Patiot - loopier2001 - 4.08


Notice that the bronze medal went to Patriot (spelled incorrectly as Patiot), which obtained an average rating of 4.08. I think that this is unfair, because I could buy one of the less popular coaster sims and make crappy tracks with lets say an average rating of 4, and upload them and recieve a medal equal to a No Limits coaster track with a rating of 8.3. Bottom line I think that you should only be eligibable for a medal if your coaster has a minimum rating of 7 or another mininuim decided by the staff. This way those who slave over making tracks for like 40 hours, will not be compared to those who spent 10 seconds on a **** track. Just a concern that could be taken into consideration.

no limit, as there is no competition in medals from one game to another, if you dislike the fact that only so few coasters of a certain game are uploaded, then go and buy the game and start uploading coasters for those games to raise popularity for them.
