can't wait for the competition to begin! I wonder how people are gonna be drafted and to what team, i love this kinds of shit

I want some old team names returning. No H2H without the Hurricanes. Someone has to restore the Flying Germans to their former glory as well. I know Heaven's Kitchen is opening again! Divine dishes will be cooked!

let's make "de fietsende kwallen" the best H2H team captained by yours truly

"Anyway your stuff is looking good, But you have a long way to go I only joined not even a year ago and i have went from that to being in h2h6, so just listen to what people have to say and look at other parks but don't copy anything just look,listen and learn And maybe you will be in h2h7"

I mostly signed up because I didn't think there would be enough sign ups, but with all these players coming back I have the feeling that was unnecessary.

Cool... another head to head contest.

Bring it on!

Team "Reddit Noobs": Participants: GammaZero

i'll join the team. best of the worst ftw

Cool... another head to head contest.
Bring it on!

Yeah, but don't forget to sign up.

Who will be our captain?

Uh....? is that even a question?

it's not a question anymore, Ling will lead the way!

I really really want to but I'm very nervous that I won't have the motivation or time when it comes to playing. And letting down an entire team would be a super shitty thing to do.

and that's why you should sign up as a regular player anyways

Just watching some of the live streaming then with Pizza. I noticed GDB, Liampie and SF talking about H2H and time constraints, I would of commented there but am not registered to that. Do you already, and if not would it be an idea to look at, splitting the teams up so they are mixed of USA side of the world players and European players, so that work is happening on the parks at all times? Unsure if this is obvious or a stupid suggestion but thought I would throw it out there anyway.

yes, captains can take that into account when they draft. Having better players may supersede having worldly players, but a worldly team does have its own benefits.

I see yes, so the captains choose there own players then? Don't they just pick the best ones though?

Would a seeding system for top players either side of the Atlantic be an idea? That way building is kept regular with time zone's, top players are still heading teams keeping quality levels high, and it gives the lesser players a chance of being a part of the top quality parks, and thus improving their game.

I'm sure these are things you guys have thought of already and I'm sure they would come with implications as well was just curious.

Yes, captains generally want to pick the best players. Each of the 6 captains will get a team of 10 players, so there's plenty of room for up-and-coming players on each team. 

I think a huge part of H2H is the drafting. It´s all about strategy, when to use wich player in what ever combination to get the best results. Making restrictions/seedings/guidelines/whatever there would destroy huge amounts of fun for the captains I think + decrease the quality of the parks in the end.
