OK...the excitement for this contest is at a new low
but we are going to try this thing one more time if anyone is game. Of course, others could join in this month also, and that is what this topic is for!The concept is a simple Ladder Tournament and it works as follows:
This RCT1, RCT2, and RCT3 contest will run throughout the year in all the months there are not Road Rallies...excluding December since we have the Happy Holidays, so it runs February, April, June, August, and October. Whomever wants to enter can sign up to get on the ladder at any time during these months, but you will be slotted at the bottom. We can accomodate as many that want to play and as few as two people, AND anyone can enter all year long, you don't have to have already participated in February or April.
Signups begin today for JUNE and will continue for one week. On May 18, a challenge forum topic will show up and the challenges will begin...first come, first serve. The actual contest will begin May 25 for June, or later if the two agree to that. However, entries are due June 30.
I re-ordered the contestants based on the results of the two previous matchups...IF SOMEONE IS STILL ON THIS LADDER AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE ON THE LADDER ANYMORE, THEY MUST POST THAT HERE AND I WILL TAKE YOU OFF.....HOWEVER - THAT MEANS YOU ARE OUT FOR THE WHOLE YEAR!
When I post the actual June challenge topic in ONE WEEK, what happens is people challenge anyone they want that are within three rungs above them with whatever they want, for example: build a 50x50 mini, build an unthemed wooden coaster, build a themed water ride, build a structure, even build something in RCT1 or RCT3....no limits here! Since its a late start though, and you will only have a month, don't make the challenge too difficult! If you don't want to challenge anyone, that's fine, but you will most likely move down the ladder if you don't.
The challenge has to be accepted. If you get challenged, and you don't make an entry...you will forfeit and lose, thus moving down the ladder. Once all the June contests are finished and results are in, everyone is slotted on the ladder again based on their win/loss record and seeding will be secondary to that.
The deadline for the entries will be June 30 and the entries must be emailed on that day, midnight EST to rctspacecontests@gmail.com. REMEMBER TO EXPORT OBJECTS AND ATTACH THE FILE!!! I will then set up a poll with the entries for each individual challenge matchup. All forum members, even tournament non-participants can judge in the polls. The poll will be up for 10 days. The winner will move up the ladder, the loser will move down the ladder.
In mid-July the process will begin again, but with the ladder we ended with from June and I'll announce signups for anyone new who was not involved in this June contest,who wants to sign up for August. I'll also have a new challenge topic and new deadlines.
Some clarifications:
You can challenge ANYONE that is within three rungs above you...however, remember that you do not switch places with who you challenged, rather, this tournament is based on your win/loss record overall. The goal is to be at the top of the ladder at the end of the year and you will do that by winning your challenges. The challenges are first come, first serve. Don't wait too long to post your challenge or you may be left out altogether. I will open the challenge forum topic on a certain day that I have announced, and the challenges will begin.
I know there will be lots of questions but it only 'sounds' complicated, its actually very simple. There will be some awards to win at year-end and I'm still working on the award system.
This contest allows YOU the member to be creative with your contest ideas...YOU basically can think up your own contest and then participate in them!
When you sign up, you must state what versions of the RCT series you can participate in, RCT1, 2, 3 so that everyone knows what kind of contest they can challenge you with.
Below, is the ladder as it stands right now. If you choose to sign up for June, first come, first serve, you are placed at the bottom of the ladder. So please, ask your questions...AND/OR Sign up for the new CLIMB THE LADDER! - Remember to state which versions of the game you will compete in!
