2006 NL Tournament (Round 3) - RESULTS pg8

I finally got the day off (today), so I'm finally downloading all of the tracks. I have Tuesday off as well, so the results are scheduled for Tuesday. Seey you then!

BTW, if there are not enough legal tracks to advance to Round 4, the contest winners will be immediately be declared and a separate contest will be held on what would have been the Round 4 template.

What would you classify as 'enough'? Two?

"Enough" means four, the full roster. If two or more of the tracks are disqualified, the contest is over.

I think there's 1 DQ, and two others I'm not so sure about. They look quite close in the editor, but I haven't moved the templates to check. I won't say which ones I think it is, because I could very easily be wrong.

"The contest is over."

What? How is it fair to those who've worked so hard to be where they're at to just end it as such. It's not. I'm not going to tell you what to do, I just want to let my opinion be known. All I've got to say is that if this is your idea of fairness, then maybe it's a good thing that I didn't prioritize my Round 2 entry over things--it would've been a wasted effort.

Yeah, to work for 3 rounds only to have someone say that the time you spent doesn't matter, everyone's in... don't mean to be disrespectful at all but that just isn't right. It's one thing to lose in a round, another to get through only to have someone to tell you to go back to start without passing go. Just my thoughts.

Thanks.

yeah cjd, hopefully these negative comments towards the idea of contest ending if 2+ tracks get DQ make you change your mind. even if there are only two partipants left, those two people should fight it out in the finals. it should continue until there is one builder standing.

Ah, so there is still some drive left... I was under the notion that everyone was getting tired of this contest. All right, then. Round four will proceed as planned unless only 1 track is legal.

Thanks for considering our thoughts cjd.

Are the ratings still on schedule for later today?

I was wrong... my day off is tomorrow. I'm still going to try and do all of the ratings today, but no promises. Tomorrow for sure, since I have the whole day off.

Good to know, thanks for keeping us informed.

Okay, it's official now... not tonight. Ratings will be posted tomorrow.

Well, unfortunately I have not finished the ratings yet. Sorry that I have to push back the release date again, but I pretty much procrastinated the day away. CP is now open until 10:00 each night, and I'm stuck doing open-close shifts, so it will be several days before I get another opportunity to rate the coasters. Sorry for the inconvienience.

Open-close shifts...I pretty much assumed thats how all jobs at CP worked

Yesss... I finish finals this week, so this is perfect timing!

Sorry again, but the ratings still won't be up. I was sceduled for an 11-8 shift, but I had to stay late because one of my co-workers passed out from heat exhaustion. I get off at eight both tomorrow and thursday, so I'll try to work on em' again then. Sorry for being so darn late on every single round's ratings... my time estimation skills suck.

Wimps! Where were you working at?

They should come bust their butts for 5 hours at UPS in trailers that are close to 130 degrees and load boxes at 450 per hour. Geez.

at 450 an hour you could have sex with my unconcious body! i'd make what, 8X450=3600 dollars a day. thats 23400 a week, or 1.2 million a year, yeah i wouldnt be complaining if i was those UPS workers, that be worth it

[hyyyper]

i think real means that they are loading 450 boxes in one hour

Yea. If so, I wouldnt be trying to get a second job there cheif.

yeah i know i was joing hyyper. lol

you need to learn how to laugh a bit. you take everything so seriously.

[hyyyper]

how am i supposed to know you are joking, at least put a "[lol]" at it, i can't tell emotions from plain text [;)]

did you notice the ? lol

i dont use those emotions...too lazy to type a [ ] around them.

Well, no results again. CP has held me past my scheduled hours for the third freakin' night in a row. I'm really sick of this crap... and once again, I'm sorry that I don't have them done. As soon as CP decides to let me go home ON TIME, I'll get the ratings done. Promise.
