Hey everyone so we have some pretty big news and you are all the first to hear it!
So what exactly is the NL2 Tournament?
The 2016 CoasterCrazy No Limits 2 Tournament is a contest that is consisted of three rounds. To make it to the next round you must use your skills and creativity to pass the previous round. The catch is that only a few people make it to each round. There will be deadlines and curveballs thrown at you during this contest. Only the best of the best make it to the final round and only 1 will be announced a winner.
How do I enter?
You enter by typing "I'm in" on this thread. Your username will then be added to a list of other users who have also entered.
Can I drop out?
Of course you can. Just know that each round is designed with that certain number of people. If a person drops out there may be extra or less work on the others he/she is competing against.
How do I submit my entry?
You will submit your entry via email. The email that you will send it to will be released at a later date.
When does the contest start?
The contest starts Monday, February 22nd. 2 weeks from today.
What is the prize?
The winner will receive an actual coaster wheel, tons of points donated to your coastercrazy account, a write up discussing your amazing effort in the competition that will be posted to the homepage, and bragging rights.
I think that is it, am I missing something?
There will be 3/4 judges to judge each coaster. That way it will be in no way biased towards anyone. This is a challenging contest but will be fun for everyone. This contest will also be posted on NoLimits Exchange as well. There will be dead time in between each round for the judges to judge the submissions as well as decide who is moving forward and who is not (this dead time will be about 2 weeks).
What are the submission dates?
All submission must be due by Midnight EST.
Feb 22nd-March 9th (First Round)
March 21st- April 6th (Second Round)
April 11th- 25th (Final Round)
Judging ends May 1st
*Submission dates are subject to change if needed.
Well that sums it up!
If you are interested in joining and have any more questions feel free to ask on this thread and I will do my best to answer them! Let the games begin!

Good luck to everyone who has entered!
ROUND 1
Your first task is to take your most comfortable manufacturer and your least most comfortable manufacturer and design a ride in Nl2 combining the two manufacturers together. For instance, I would choose B&M and Togo. Therefore I would design lets say a B&M Invert but as if it were designed by Togo. Based on the variety of your design and manufacturer choice the higher your score will be. We are looking at realism in this creation therefore your coaster must have comfortable g forces and must stay within the restrictions I provide.
Round 1 Restrictions:
-Your coaster must have a minimum of 2 inversions but must not exceed 7.
-Your coaster must have a minimum length of 2000 feet (609.6 meters).
-Your coaster must have a minimum height of 90 feet (27.432 meters). Max height is 310 feet (94.488 meters).
-Your coaster must have safe and comfortable g forces.
-Your coaster must stay true to what each manufacturer would design.
The first curveball will come out Wednesday, February 24th. So be sure to check then for your first curveball!
Please note that you will be judged on the following:
-How realistic your design is for each manufacturer.
-Are your g forces in check?
-Support work
-Track work
-Overall Impression (does your coaster look appropriate for the specified area?, Colors, etc. This is the extra credit points)
-Operations
-It must pass all clearance and block tests.
*You are allowed to use custom skyboxes and 3d scenery if you feel fit.
Your judges are
-Myself, Head judge
-Tristen (actual ride op at SFOT), Operations judge
-Daniel (Metazoanhaddock), Support judge
The submissions must be sent to contests@nolimitscoaster2.com by March 9th at midnight EST.
