• All coasters must be uploaded to this thread by Midnight EST Sunday, March 17th. Please do not post links to download from other sites, and please do not post screenshots or posts discussing the rides. This is an upload only thread.
• You may only enter one coaster in, but you may make revisions to your coaster as long as the newer version is uploaded before the deadline.
• Your design must be your own original work and not previously entered into this or any other contest. No recreations of real coasters.

• You must use this file to build your coaster in.
• All of your trains must be at least 7 cars long.
• Your coaster must run at least 3 trains properly.
• You may use only the provided lift.
• You may not alter the lift hill, station, or any of the support arches in any way. You may not change the lift hill speed settings.
• You may not use any LIMs or any Friction Tires on any part of your coaster.
• No part of the track or train may go underground. Adequate clearances to the ground, track, station, and supports must be maintained at all times.
• Bonus: You will earn 1 bonus point for each arch you pass under. Only 1 point per arch, no extra points for going through the same arch more than once.
• Other than the above restrictions you are free to use any style train/track, and you may do whatever you'd like with the layout.

• Realism – Proper consideration should be given to speed and g-forces.
• Technical – This category rates how well you have designed and implemented Technical aspects of your coaster including the Lift, Station and Brakes. Think about how these elements generally look in real life, and then build them accordingly. I will be testing the E-Stop on your coaster, so be sure it can start again when stopped anywhere.
• Difficulty – This rating is based on how complicated your coaster is. Giant out and back coasters will score lower than tight compact spaghetti bowls.
• Smoothness – Your ride should have a smooth, fluid feel to it. This category will judge that as well as transitions from one segment to another. Sudden jumps and severe jolts will lower your score.
• Pacing/Fun – Your coaster should move along at a good pace, have variety in the elements, and not crawl or go too fast.
• Supports – This category judges how well you designed your support structure. Your supports should properly support the coaster as well as have some aesthetic value.

Good luck to you all! If you have questions please email me at tzeliff@nwcomputing.com.
