It's back!
It's been a few years but the (no longer particularly) traditional closed season European coaster poll is returning. And like another high profile pan-European competition, this year we've had a big revamp. Some rules are staying the same, so there's no entries from Alton Towers, and a standard knockout format at the end, but instead of the usual group stage there's now one big 'Swiss league' format to get us down from 32 entries to 16. Instead of having to make a new thread for every round, entries will now be submitted via Google Forms (email addresses will not be collected). You do not need to have riden a coaster to vote for it
All the coasters have been drawn together into an initial round of head to head matches. The results of each round will affect the draw for the following round. After 8 rounds the top 16 will go through to the knockout stages. Each round will begin on Monday and end on Sunday. The coaster with the most votes wins and gets 3 points, any draws are worth 1 point each.
The entry list is shorter than the last few times I've ran the poll, to see how the new format goes. If all is well, it will be extended again next season.
Each week the next round will be posted in the thread and edited into this post. There will be a two week break for Christmas and New Year, finishing in March ahead of the new season.
Entry list
Round 1 (closes 23:59 Sunday 8th)
Round 2 (closes 23:59 Sunday 15th)
Round 3 (closes 23:59 Sunday 22nd)
