Congratulations to J.B. for winning yet another Time Trial! It was quite interesting being on the administrative side of things: most entries were in the last 3 days! Here's a chronology of when each person submitted: http://i.imgur.com/vv7kgz7.png
Now for some thoughts on the level designs themselves. Overall, I'd say this was a fairly successful TT, with none of the best routes being too obvious and none of the executions being too difficult.
The first level was designed with many different potential approaches in mind, and I'd say it worked since all three 183 scores used a different route!
With the second level, I tried to design in a fastest route of 185 -.9 by testing every route that I thought might be the fastest, and adjusting the length of the ending to force the decimal. However, I knew that faster could easily be possible with the design of the level, and even though I tried to test everything...Kevin found a slightly faster 185 route. This was a moot point, though, as J.B, Miika and Cyberdog all found a 189!
The third level originally required all the chips, but then I realized that would probably make a theoretical extra second impossible. So I added an extra chip...and only J.B. caught this! It's worth noting that J.B.'s route would have been a 186 even if all the chips were required, so kudos to him for that!
With the results of this competition, J.B. passes Syzygy in the overall Chip Cup standings, Miika passes chipster, and we have a newcomer in Kevin!
Miika said he'd upload a video of solutions to the CCZone channel if I sent a file, so keep an eye out for the routes there soon!
