Pentathlon
The Pentathlon is a grueling event combing five typical elements of classic parkmaking: ride design, theming, concept, architecture, and landscaping. Who can manage to combine five seemingly random ingredients, corresponding to the five aforementioned parkmaking elements? This event will reward only the most balanced of teams.

Voting
Voting Guidelines
You are expected to view all entries and cast a fair vote. It is considered very poor comradeship to vote with bias. We also ask you not to vote unless you've viewed all entries in the game. Aside from the general quality of the entries, you're also supposed to take into account how well each entry meets this discipline's objective as described above.
We are closing polls after ~3 days. Entries on a tie receive the same amount of points. There won't be any waiting for a decisive vote. Votes are also public this time to counter cheating.
There are two polls; one for your favourite entry, one for your second favourite. Votes in the former poll will weigh twice as much.- - - - - - - - - - - -

Yes! Same methods and deadlines as in the first round. Meaning there's a little over two hours left. -

Shit. I meant a day and a little over two hours. I woke up and thought it was Friday for some reason. 21 hours left.

wait OK so let me clarify
The due date is not 11:59pm the day before the listed deadline days
It is 11:59pm the day of the listed deadline daysso if a round is listed as due July 7th, you get all of July 7th to build and it's actually due the first minute of the 8th.
right?

Correct. That's because we failed to specify an exact time for the first round until the actual day came, and we decided to give anyone anywhere in the world the whole day so that in the worst case no one lost time. Until further notice we're sticking to that rhythm.

^ Midnight in Hawaii should be the cut off time for all contests now and in the future

We used to run with that system, well a system of 23:59 UTC-11/12 but it gets too confusing with the weird time zone, so we change it to GMT as it's easier for everyone to work it out from, which is 11:59 GMT.
I've probably confused people more now lol -

Kind of a disappointing round. Really though this would be one of the big events that would see the most quality entries.
Still, some nice maps. Glad to see some of the lesser known teams producing work, this contest would be pretty dull without you guys competing. I think the requirements and map size really made this tough. I found my self getting frustrated trying to fit everything in the small space provided, especially the cliff and power theme.
Maybe in the future less requirements and more freedom would be a better direction, but still its an interesting experiment.
Hopefully the Biathlon or Improvising will be a bit more impressive.
My park rankings:
1. Timbabwe
2. ][topia
3a. Coasta Rica
3b. Doninican Republic
5. Kingdom of Ni
6. Arrowmania

I'm not sure, but Arrowmania's park might be incompatible with vanilla. The game error traps every time I try and load it.
