[CrayCray for coasters]

You must Stay Within 10x10x15 gray rods, it must contain a mid course break run, it is going to be judged by a point system basing the scores off of, Layout, Pacing, Theming, Trains, Realism and Supportwork. The Winner will be chosen by you from my top three faves, I am not participating as i am a judge. If your coaster has an intense layout that looks enjoyable, this will be judged out of 10 . Pacing score is Judged not by speed at the top of the big elements but by the speed at the middle/end of the layout, this will be judged out of 10 . Theming is up next now a coaster with no theming is still a good coaster so i'm going to be judging this out of five, this will be judge by the imersiveness ( i know it's not a real word). Trains will be scored out of 5, the more realistic the trains are the more score. Realism is up next, brakes, lift, layout and station count, this will be scored out of 10. Finally the supportwork, tubes will get you points, so will boxes, it's all based off of track shake and realism, tubes and boxes will be scored with the exact same terms, this is because tubes are realistic and i have no biased opinions as i love both. Good luck, Hope you enjoy, Bye! plus you may start whenever you please

Unfortunately I don't know if there are enough current builders to facilitate a contest

I'd probably be down do this at some other time, but I'd like to focus on finishing my current coaster right now.

Why don't you organise this for a time when we typically have time off? Like during summer?

I suppose that doesn't help those with jobs, and obviously we're supposed to be in various states of lockdown across the world - but still, some are working, some are busy.

Also, competitions are usually one month long, like starting on the 1st and submit by the end of the month - maybe if you postpone it, you can gather interest?

inverts tend to lose a lot of speed as you cant use a lof of track connections so, you might end up with quite a tall lift where you are only able to get a few elements out of it till you lose the speed

they shouldnt take long if he sent them the same time as the 2nd set i brought, i got my 2nd set today and he sent it on 28th lol really fast,  also i highly recommend wiping down all your tubing and cleaning it all perfectly, because oil residue and dirt has rusted the outer rings of my first set i got, they still run the same but they just dont look nice and shiny like the new ones lol
