Head-2-Head-X / H2HX: Round Robin - R2 Wrap-up

Round 2 of Round Robin has completed, and although small trends seem to emerge, the competition is still very much open at this point. First of, congratulations to the Hurricanes on earning the current top position as the only team to win both their matches. They are followed by a group of tight competition, teams that all have one win and one loss, merely distinguished by a few average voting percent difference. Curiously, despite both the Evergreen Gardeners and Soda Jerks winning their R2 matches, they have swapped placements from R1, and now Scoop and team are sitting above the Play-Offs cut-off. The Jazzcats have had some tough luck so far in the contest, losing with parks that were clearly too good to lose. Needless to say absolutely everything is still possible for them, and seeing the names yet to build, I expect a vengeful Jazzcats comeback to be likely. And indeed I would love to see it, and yours is also the first match of R3, so come one Cats!

Round 3 has an additional week to allow a bit more time to breathe after what are not seldom hectic H2H starts. The match schedule look as follows, and perhaps most interesting on paper, we get a clash between the current top two teams in R3M3!

I have a bunch of parks that I just can't pick between, it changes each time I look at them! And in one case, in the other direction now than how I voted.

12. Naam Chalong Suu Oom - 72

11. Wawel Castle - 73

10. Institute of Extraordinary Biota - 76

9. Valley of the Kings - 77

8. Cirque Macabre - 77

7. Hell - 78

6. Troubadours et Baladins - 79

5. Radio Park Tbilisi - 79

4. Castello Altovento - 81

3. Lostileth - 83

2. Constellations - 86 (I built on it, ok!)

1. Sambhava's Rest - 87 - I'm sure these will be viewed as homer picks. Seeing the build process play out I think is just a very different way of viewing this park than how H2H parks are presented publically.

Now for the ratings you really came for. These change a lot each time they view the parks. Here's where they're at now... I try to offer zero influence here and just let them have at it! They also have zero context of NE scores. I just ask, "rate this park between 1-100".

Minideano 1

12. Cirque Macabre - 59 - It's too dark to like, actually be a park

11. Naam Chalong Suu Oom - 60 - Those cars with people hanging down with them are really good

10. Valley of the Kings - 60 - It's so sandy, even if it's set in space, it doesn't seem like it was

9. Hell - 61 - It's theme was a bit too scary

8. Institute of Extraordinary Biota - 67 - They really should add more rides

7. Radio Park Tbilisi - 77 - It's awesome except they put it a bit too, like, epic

6. Lostileth - 79 - I think it's pretty good

5. Wawel Castle - 80 - It's funny how they put a dinosaur museum underground

4. Troubadours et Baladins - 80 - Some of these rides go a bit too slowly (??!)

3. Sambhava's Rest - 90 - It's a mixture of chaotic and calmness

2. Castello Altovento - 98 - A bit too much water, the rides are perfectly timed.

1. Constellations - 100 - I really nice how the wheel spins when a train goes past it

Minideano 2

12. Hell - 10 (sorry guys. He's adamant.)

11. Valley of the Kings - 40 (don't think he understood the park)

10. Naam Chalong Suu Oom - 51 - I don't know what the big house at the back is made of

9. Institute of Extraordinary Biota - 57

8. Sambhava's Rest - 59

7. Wawel Castle - 74 - I like the roller coaster ride going through the dinosaur museum

6. Cirque Macabre - 79

5. Castello Altovento - 80

4. Lostileth - 98

3. Troubadours et Baladins - 98

2. Radio Park Tbilisi - 99

1. Constellations - 100

Yeh, they know dad built constellations. Exact quote, "no way you built on that, it's much better than you can do" (while looking at JK's tower)

Minideano 1 should be grounded.

I think the Soda Jerks have a legit case against MD2 here!

No bias with #1 at all. None whatsoever.

I'm going japanese grade style (its time for some crAZY taxi).

no internal order, subject to change in future

overall I'd say very high average standard, my C tier here are all still very clear golds. less absolutely mesmerizing work but its only r2 and I'm sure it'll get there
