Boulder Dash Wins the 5th Annual CF Coaster Tournament
Bracket: http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=395858
The tournament is changing slightly this year. The format is being changed from five different "regional" brackets to one large 128 coaster bracket. Though this is 8 more coasters in the tournament than in years past, be reassured this will actually make the tournament go faster. This allows there to be consistently four match-ups each day until the final 4. In years past it took longer because for each region would get closer to each of their finals creating five days of just one matchup not counting the final world bracket which used to exist. I also believe this format will be more fun to allow voting between more coasters that usually would never go up against each other.
For those with questions on how the coasters were seeded, here is how it worked. I used the results from years past as well as the Mitch Hawker poll to find a balance between the two to seed each one. For new coasters opening I simply guessed where they would fit well. So if some coasters are higher or lower then where you see them in the Mitch Hawker poll it is simply due to how that coaster ended up in last years tournament. Don't get to caught up in seeding as it is not a huge deal.
The brackets are posted at http://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=395858 and if you click on the name of the coasters it takes you to a POV of the coaster or their RCDB page so you can see first hand to help with your voting. Where we had CF videos of the coasters I took those otherwise they are usually from TPR with a little extra beyond the POV so just skip in the video to what you're interested in for those cases. In each bracket under each matchup it says "Game ___ Details" and when I post the topic for voting I will title it "(Name of Bracket) Matches __, __, __, & __" So I'm changing the word "Game" to "Match" when I post the topic title so don't get confused by that. Also after the matchup is done the score of how many votes each coaster got will be posted in the bracket below that matchup.
When voting use either the name of the coaster or the seed number in your post to say which you are voting for. In the event of someone voting for both coasters in a match-up, neither vote will be counted. (This has happened in the past where people mistakenly vote for both coasters in one match and none in another.) So please try and be cautious so all your votes will count.
Every topic will be open for voting for 24 hours from Midnight-11:59pm ET. Voting is open until I close off the voting and make the final post so if I don't stop it after 24 hours then voting technically is still open for a little longer then 24 hours and that will happen where I may not get on every day cause I actually have a life as well. You may NOT vote on a poll after I close it off and I would appreciate it very much as well if you didn't post after I close it off either cause then the old topic is above the new open topic and it confuses myself and others. (Last year team members were a great help in locking topics to further prevent this from happening.)
Coasters in the tournament must have been open and operating to the public by the start day of the tournament.
Rules:
1- You may only vote once per topic, double voting will not count any of your votes.
2- You are allowed to vote even if you haven't ridden the coasters.
3- When voting please put your vote on the top of your post then hit enter and leave a line space before making any comments so it's easier to count the votes.
In the event of a tie, the tie breaker will be determined this way. The first tie of the tournament will be broken by the first person to vote in that poll, the second tie to the second person to post in the poll of the day which the tie took place, etc.
CF Coaster Tournament Winners from Years Past:
2007- El Toro, Six Flags Great Adventure
2008- T Express, Everland
2009- Boulder Dash, Lake Compounce
2010- Boulder Dash, Lake Compounce
Hoping to Start the tournament at 12:00am ET, Thursday July 14.
