    Solo NE Design, Runner-Up, Super Runner-Up and Spotlight exemption

    If you win one of these and are a Non-NE Parkmaker during the course of the prelims you will receive an invite into the finals vs. the NE Parkmakers and Prelim winners.

    The 2 Bonus Spots

    Two extra invites to the tour will be given out to the two parkmakers who made the best effort in the prelims. This will be decided by a public poll this year to try and avoid some past controversy.

    The Judge

    Kumba will be independently judging the prelim round to make sure things go quickly and the process is not overly complex. Don't worry, for the finals there will be 5-6 judges and I might not even be one of them ;)

    Now go build some fucking entires :devil:

    Not to be offensive but I really think there should be atleast a second or third party having SOME say on judging these.

    okay :D , this time I will win !

    Mmm..

    Too bad there will not be a high rollers, or a pro tour without prelims? I mean, it's a lot of work for basically nothing, and it hurts the quality of the parks in the end.. i think. Oh well.

    Hmmm, I think you should decrease that to only SRU and Spotlight.. Design and RU are too low imo, and otherwise the prelims don't matter that much if you can win with a design..

    Otherwise I'm looking forward to it.. Nice to sit back this time and watch the prelims go by before the actual PT begins :D
    I see your point WME, but I always thought the prelims were one of the more fun features of the PT.. Maybe the due dates could be a bit more closer to each other, in order to get the main event started a bit sooner..

    I think it's alright Kumba is the only judge during the prelims, in order to get a fast pace with the prelims.. It's most of time easy to see what is the best entry, although when it's close I think another person should take a look at it too (as Kumba already mentioned)..

    Nice to see this contest getting started up again!

    I agree 100% with Six Frags on the RU and Design thing. Especially the designs, coz that pretty much eliminates the need for prelims, considering most prelims are just designs anyway.

    And I'm not sure, but was there more prelims in previous PT's, coz there seems like very few at the moment.

    Now lets say were in the best B&M coaster round. You want us to theme the hell out of it as well? Or do you just want an amazing layout. Im guessing both right?

    Sounds like fun to me... :)

    I disagree with Six Frags and Metro mainly because I'm thinking "The more the merrier" for PT3. If we can get more people in, especially people whom we know can finish things, the big results finale should be even more fun. Even if it decreases the overall quality a little bit I think having 20+ entries instead of 13 would be much better.

    ^Then the contest should be renamed as 'NE Tour' ;)
    Seriously, what's the point of having prelims if you can get in with a design?

    If Kumba allows that, the required quality of designs should be upped MAJORLY.. Like Arch Angel quality.. Same as for RU, although that maybe less than designs, as it usually has more content in it, and thus requires more of the parkmaker..

    What's the problem with the current Design requirements? Are you implying that some of the recent Design winners wouldn't be good enough for PT3?

    whoa chapel, really really sweet logo you made there.


    and yeah, JDP, you need to theme it.

    I'm just saying that there's no point in having prelims when you can win with a design.. If you're allowing designs, people won't enter prelims (at least that's how I think).. In order to prevent that from happening, you could up the requirements regarding designs (temporarily) thus making it harder to get into the PT..
    I'm not saying the recent designs aren't good enough for the PT at all, just to ensure the prelims matter this 'feature' should be reconsidered..

    Remember last seasons we had some rounds of 1 or 2 entries? That's what we have to try to prevent.. And it won't help if you're allowing more ways, and especially easier ways, to get into the PT..

    mmm...you could also add 3 or 4 more bonus spots and pick people that sended Designs and RU's etc.
    so actually it's just another prelim ... in that way you don't automaticly get the place if you win a design but if your design is good enough you will be picked....

    Stupid question, but what's a prelim?

    Edit: Can we use Geewwzzz's (or whatever the name is) bench?
