The Research Department here at RCTspace has been researching what to do over a mathematical improbability.

Our 2008 Winter Challenge has resulted in a tie. We have never encountered a tie in one of these contests, so we were struggling what to do. No matter which way we analyzed the data there was still no certainty as to which park won. Mort, in a Jolt Cola induced moment of clarity suggested we hold a run-off voting. Since we had no other reasonable options - we proudly present our -

2008 Winter Challenge Tie-Breaker Park-Off

Just go HERE and view the photos of the two parks, and return to this forum cast your vote in the poll for which park should win the 2008 Winter Challenge.

How long will voting go?

For one week, through Friday May 30th. On Saturday May 31, the winner should be announced. That is unless we get another tie, but Derwood calculates the odds of that happening twice as astronomical.

Looks like it is happening again.

4 to 4

Hmm, that's a tough one. Park C is shot solely at night and park B only during the day. :/ It would be better to see photos of the parks during both day and night to get an overall feel for each park.

It would be better. We did not change any of the settings on the parks that were submitted. If they were set to day only or night only, we kept them as the park designer submitted them. To change any settings would be us deciding for the park maker what is best for their park. That is not what these contests are about - how we can make a park look "better". That is the job of the park designer. We only take screen shots of what was submitted, as it was submitted. To do otherwise could leave us open to a charge of favoritism by intentionally making one park look better than another.

Feel free. I think that some may like to see the parks in operation. That would be the job of the designers for the reasons stated above.

It's just so hard to choose, although i have made my choice...

Well, it is midnight here in the RCTspace labs and time to close voting in the polls. I am pleased to say that the tie has been broken by one vote. The winner who squeeked by with one vote was ZuNuKoo with his park - Winterific.


Congratulations ZuNuKoo.
