TIMELINE/GUIDELINE FOR ACCEPTING PARKS...

1. VP of the Month will start accepting entries NOW for the first month (July). The deadline for entries will be June 30, 11:59PM (EST). The second month, and every month thereafter, entries will be accepted for the next month from the 1st of each month until the last day of the month. For example, for the August VP of the Month, entries will be accepted from July 1 - July 31, 11:59PM (EST).
2. The VP of the Month will be announced each month on the 20th. Any runners-up will be announced a week later, on the 27th.
(NOTE: This is a guideline ONLY, and some months may be later than the stated guidelines due to unforseen circumstances which may arise.)

JUDGING...

1. There will be five (5) judges each month. Two (2) of these judges will be RCT2.com staff, two (2) will be randomly selected members of the forums, and one will be the previous VP of the Month winner.
(For the first month, there will be three (3) judges from RCT2.com staff, and two (2) randomly selected members of the forums.
2. Judges Scoring:  The system is out of 100 points. Here is how it’s broken down:

  • Coaster Designs-15
  • Landscaping-10
  • Originality/Creativity-15
  • Park Layout-10
  • Ride Selection-10
  • Theming-15
  • Overall-10
3. To determine the total points for each park, the five judges totals for that park will be added together and then divided by five to get the average total score for that park. For example, one parks totals are 95.2, 98.7, 90.0, 92.6, and 93.5. The total for the five judges is 470. Divided by five = 94. That park's final score will be 94. The park with the highest points will win the VP of the Month. If the votes are close (within 5 points of winner), runners-up will also be announced, with a maximum of two (2) runners-up each month.
