More DQ's than passable entries almost!

This track file was created 2 hours ago and I think it passes all DQ rules.

yeah I tried hard but I left tires on in the station...

Well, it came down to the last 30 seconds, but I made it. Here's my entry. http://www.coastercrazy.com/track_exchange/detail.asp?tid=13683
Hopefully I didn't miss anything... I was kinda rushed, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

5 more DQ's
Jimmy Yoshi because he went out of bounds and left friction wheels on
co_2808, coasterguy77, Jazzb@y and Sjaggerijn didn't upload.

If your name is green it means you stayed inside the boundries and stayed under the blue lines. I will check the track completely ASAP. If you're red, you're DQ'd and you can prepare for a 2-week ban.

EDIT: All that is left to check is the speed on each ride, then the list of Legit and DQ'd track will be final.

On the subject of the elimination. I will probably ditch 1 round and let only 8 pass this round.

WTF! My ride goes above the stupid red line you blind foo! Even the blue track node is above the line!



You said:"Minimum height is 30 meters". Well: my ride is 30.15m! Even when measuring in feets it's almost a feet higher...

cya guys

Hyyyper, I think it would be misleading to do this, as it wasn't said beforehand and I know many of us just submitted something legal yet crappy. You could just add Dirk's back in if it is equal and then take the best DQed track or something. It would be wrong to change the fact that the best 16 advance after the round already took place, as we are all (those with legal tracks) in the top 16.

-Jake

*ahem* the one that was below 20 feet but above 6 meters[:D]

[hyyyper]

Jakizle, you have a point there, i will take it into consideration when i talk about this issue with oscar

And Dirk, the rules say the track go you ENTIRELY above 30 meters, yours doesn't.

Sheesh... everyone's getting killed on technicalities. I'm gonna agree with Jake on the letting through thing, though. That's what we've always done in the past: if not enough submit, let the highest-rated DQ tracks through. Besides, they can still serve their banning sentences and still be back in time for the next round.

[hyyyper]

The only way that is going to happen if i match-up the 14 that are trough. Then there are 7 left.
The DQ's of this round will be able to send in their own track of round 3 to my email, the best of those will get a wildcard for round 4.

so your saying pretty much we participate in round 3 after our 2 week ban, and the best will be in round 4?

Another thing you could do is let us compete in the challenge, post rules before the ban, and the 2 best tracks of the challenge could go on to round 3.

Now THAT is an idea. Good thinking.

I can only say S^H^I^T...

I had nearly finished my track and only a little time left when NL went retarded.

I'd liked to do the other rounds as well

oh well...

EDIT: Yeah, I don't get that hyyyper, explain further

Let me explain his idea (which is a great one IMO)

There are 14 legal tracks. The creators will be matched up forming 7 pairs, and will result in 7 winners moving on to the next round. Since there has to be 8 builders for the matchup to work the last 2 rounds, everyone that got DQed this round will fight for a chance to be that last 8th spot.

That wild card idea is sick.

[Coasterkidmwm]

When you say "matched up forming 7 pairs" you mean all in all you're just picking 7 legit tracks and 1 DQed track this round right?

Is it just me, or does someone who didn't pass the first pairings round (because his track was not as good as his contestant) deserves a wildcard more than someone who got DQed now or in Round 1?

[Coasterkidmwm]

No he/she doesn't deserve squat. That round was easy as hell.

You're repeating me I think.

Man those ratings are out of control, and now Clifford is knocked off the charts . [B)]
Nice idea hyyyper, that should sort things out best.
Overall pretty fun rides, out of the dq's I think I enjoyed MF2001s the best, but others were really good so ill take another look and see.

^Yeah, definitely. KB's was good, but come on, 2nd best NL coaster in sight history? And my coaster certainly doesn't deserve a higher rating than half of the Cool Designs list. And Coasterkid didn't even like his track, but it has a 9.5. So, yeah. Now I'm agreeing with everyone about contest coasters being overrated.

[Coasterkidmwm]

I can't help that I'm really really ridiculously good looking.
