NL TOURNERMENT ROUND 1 results

sorry for the extra day delay but my processor decided to start smoking and take out the mother board and the sound card with it, great excuse to upgrade but there we go.

the re-rates on tournament 1 and i mus say you guys were right, there was quite abit i missed and there are far more disquilifications and some that wernt, so im again sorry for last time.

right lets get started, these are short discripitions on your rides on what was good and bad and a rate for each in adrenaline, technical and originality out of 10 with an overall score of all three of these added together then devided by 3.

All Tied UP - man
it had the speed but it wasent apparent in the layout of the track, nothing to really encourage any big forces and nearly all the turns were overbankded. the layout was not to bad however with alot of direction changes. there was a long wait at the start of the launch for the 2nd train too which could be addressed with adjusting the timing in the station
A-4 T-6 O-6 Overall- 5.6

alamina- coasterstreak
the support work was outstanding and the layout was twisted and there was alot of good turns, but the stop on the midcorse breaks and alot of slowdowns throughtout the duration of the ride made it loose alot of addrenaline.
A-4 T-6 O-6 Overall- 5.3

Asator- guitarplayer673
very classic design with good use of speed and excelent support work, however it wasent very original and was alot lie alot of other coasters submited. it needed a little somthing to push it abit further
A-7 T-7 O-7 Overall- 7

Black knight- CJD Disq

A-10 T8 O-9 Overall- 9

Bling Bling- Kloop Disq
lots of prefab elements resulting in alot of pumping and bumps, long wait for 2nd train to launch, on a whole seemed a very rushed coaster with not alot of thought before the layout or element use. disqulified for 1.8 lats in the front seat at the turn after the loop
A-4 T-4 O-4 Overall- 4

Blue Bird- Mkingy
very good element useage with a very original layout and spped throught the first half of the ride, after that it went a little downhill when it became slow and filled with pumping. but overall was a thrilling ride and faily original
A-9 T7 O-7 Overall- 7.6

Chillad- coryml
some very very weak support work and alot of pumping and you need to learn to use the con-roll feature as it was missused alot in the corse of the ride. it was however a faily good layout and faily thrilling.
A-7 T-6 O-5 Overall- 6

City rush- ripper Disq
very good support workj and a very original layout with lots of speed. there were a few tree hits and train 2 stalls after the mid corse break. disqulified for failing to operate 2 trains successfully and e-stop fail.
A-8 T-3 O-7 Overall- 6

struggeling to say anything about this coaster, its 1 drop into some breaks so not very thrilling, tecnical or original but it conforms to all the rules.
A-3 T-2 O-1 Overall- 2

Dalphi- Coasterguy77
nice simple classic design again with good use of elements and speed, there was more to be expected after the 2nd lift hill but it didnt deliver but was still original and thrilling
A-7 T-8 O-8 Overall- 7.6

Ercinee- Rickyboy2

A-6 T-6 O-6 Overall- 6

excite coaster- angreygumball Disq
alot of misshaped elements, lots of pumping and again alot of misuse of the con-rol feature. it was thrilling and the first drop was great but the mishapen elements pulled your score down. disqulified for 1.7 lats at the dive loop in the rear seat.
A-7 T-4 O-6 Overall- 5.6

forest runner- coasterfan4444 Disq

A-3 T-5 O-7 Overall- 5

geods-rollingcoaster

A-8.5 T-6 O-7.5 Overall- 7.33

Lake Snake- Jordz Disq

very nice and classic layout with some good direction changes. there were some floating supports after the lift meaning they wernt attached to anything on 1 end this means they are useless. disquilified for the train hitting the floor and it having 3 lifts. the 2 main lifts and 1 just before the station.

A-8 T-6.5 O-6.5 Overall- 7

A-6.5 T-7 O-6 Overall- 6.5

Edit: Added rankings...

i was half way throught doing that, i just went and had my tea and then was going to do that but you did it for me, ok now ill just get the pairs sorted then for round 2 which will start tommorrow evening and last for nearly 3 weeks

You realise that I also stated that I want to remove myself from the contest a few weeks ago. I also would not have much time over the next weeks as my sparetime will be reduced due to an internship and a lot of test approaching lately. I wish you guys luck with this, hopefully we will see some good coasters once the round is ended.

And btw, not beeing vain, but my rating normally would give you a 9.33 too which would, according to the alphabet rank me 1. of the then three second placed. Just had to bring that up after MACchiato thought he had to show off.

Best wishes and thanks in advance,

ish

9.33... Just wondering if he rode my track, because it's clearly a 10 10 10! [:D]

What are you planning for round 2? Or is it a secret?

well round 2 you will be paired up and the template is sort of special. i need to find out if coolbeans has finnished with it

I ment which coastertype?

like he is going to tell you that. If you want to know stuff like that you'd just have to wait till cb got the template done [:)]

the pairings just done with random numbers assigned to names, dirk seen them edge didnt. edge then picked random pairs so we have a fair pick of pairs. the pairs are as follows for round 2:-

_Alton and Symbiotic

tiepilot and man

unfortunate_smiley and vid_w

MF2001 and CJD

Minicoopertx and Mkingy

RCT-3-Crazy and ragan

Rollingcoaster and Macchiato

hyyyper and nej77

Krazyt and GerstlCrazy

Rickyboy2 and Coasterkidmwm

Coasterdavid and Coryml

Jakizle and Anac0nda

Coasterteddy and KevinBrennan

Coasterguy77 and Coasterstreak

Dirk_Ermen and guitarplayer673




these are the pairs guys so you got a little time to get to know eachother and sort out stuff between you befor the start of round 2 tommorrow.

Cool, but i'm just wondering, how come you redid the pairs? There weren't any problems with the pairs, were there? Not complaining, just wondering.

well its all in fairness, the ratings were all redone so all the pairs were too. plus there has been some changes to the people who are throught and so on

Ah, I see. Can't wait to launch a beemer[:)]

Oh wow I may have just passed out. How is it that I passed...last I tuned in to updates I had been disqualified due a boring old track and a non-existent second lift? Oh well, I won't complain [:D] Never talked to KrazyT that much, but I'm sure we'll get along. Also, Gazag, may want to check over some of your spelling in the Rates. CStreak's track isn't spelled right there.

Aww man I did'nt make it this time...and I was so sure i would make it, ah well good luck all

Sybmiotic, gone? What? That's messed up. We shared plans. I'm not very happy at all.

Symbiotic gone? He's still up there, Jake.

Jake is pissed fo sho.

Yes the pairs were redone... I'm unsatisfied with that... but it will be alright. Hope this round goes a little better.

"this round"?

"I hate to state this, but in the benefit of this website I will cancel the current NLT. I have not been following it at all and started reading some of it last night and today and see the deapair and understand the members here. So with that said, I will bring back the quality of the NLT, quality in entertainment and fun and challenege. I will leave out the technical stuff and the "detailed ratings" for the first few rounds. I will revamp this and plan it out better and it will be redone in the coming weeks. Agaian, my apologies for this, but it will be redone, right."-WWS

What round would this be exactly? Am I the only one confused here... I'm sensing a lack of communication between those in charge of the contest.

Yes, are we re-doing the whole thing, or just moving on to round 2?

also, Jake was pissed because he shared ideas with his first partner, then they were re-done for a no apparent reason, or not a good reason.

Slapper made it pretty clear that the tournament will be restarted with new judges and what-not.

Oh, and thanks for forgetting to rate my coaster Gazag. [dunno]

^ Same here. I was in on this: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forum/topic.a ... ichpage=47, but somehow I disappeared.

Mikado disappeared from the pairings, too.. Poor mikado, give him a hug

Wow, second place!, well shared second place but still very, very,very happy!

Lets kick their asses Ragan!
