H2H8 / H2H8 Awards

THE AWARDS

 
H2H Awards are traditionally held about a month after the contest has ended. In this case, the wait was a little bit longer than that... Better late than never though! After all, we cannot consider H2H8 wrapped up and done without having determining what and who were the stars of the contest.
 
The award categories have been altered from previous editions. Some traditional categories are absent, while some new categories have been introduced. If you haven't already, see for yourself in the poll above, which you by the way should vote in if you can.
 
The results will remain invisible for a week, after which the winners will be revealed. Note that the poll is public, so that after this week we will also see who voted on what. Voting for yourself is allowed, but we strongly encourage you to vote honestly on the best choice for each category.

It's great to see Sax get the recognition he deserves here. True spirit of the team and just a great positive contribution to every map he touched.

Personally I think luck with interest, ability, and schedule - overall good team synergy - played a stronger role in the success of Spacecrab than anything I did explicitly as Captain, and so I'd consider Liam or GForce to have been more successful there.

Best Park Concept is a really fascinating one that highlights how Russ understood the contest as a rookie captain and got it right on his first try where I just got lucky. Real coasters recreated well in a fantasy setting checks every box for everyone voting. The Crabs had strong concepts but hiccups in the true suitableness of those concepts for H2H with Ghibli, Winkel, and to a lesser extent Haystack before we finally settled on a good balance of aesthetics, concept, and content.

Totally agree! Sax was the glue that kept the team's stoke high.
