The @Coaster365 Coaster Madness is over, and for the second year in a row, Steel Vengeance is the winner! And because I'm a nerd, and I like data, some analysis:

Match-up with the most total votes: Fury 325 vs. Magnum XL-200, with 312 votes in Round 3.

Match-up with the fewest total votes: Wildfire vs. Wodan, with 81 votes in Round 1.

Largest margin of victory, percentage: Fury 325 over Silver Star by 86.6% in the very first match of the tournament.

Smallest margin of victory, percentage: X2 over Taron by 0.6% in Round 2.

Also, T Express and Eejanaika tied in Round 1.

Largest margin of victory, raw votes: Steel Vengeance over Expedition GeForce, by 142 votes in Round 3.

Smallest margin of victory, raw votes: X2 over Taron by just a single vote.

Highest vote count by a winning side: Steel Vengeance with 203 votes in Round 5 (vs. Maverick, 76).

Smallest vote count by a winning side: T Express with 45 votes in Round 1 (vs. Eejanaika, 45); T Express won the tiebreaker.

Highest vote count by a losing side: Magnum XL-200 with 147 votes in Round 3 (vs. Fury, 165).

Smallest vote count by a losing side: Silver Star with just 7 votes in round 1 (vs. Fury, 105).

All four regional #1 seeds made it to the final four, so no surprises there.

The biggest surprise was probably #25 Top Thrill Dragster making it to the Elite Eight, knocking out Intimidator 305 and Wildfire on the way.

The biggest single-round upsets were #50 Expedition GeForce knocking off #15 Superman (SFNE) and #48 Magnum XL-200 upsetting #17 Diamondback, both in the first round.

The average number of votes increased in each round, until the end:
Round 1: 118
Round 2: 156
Round 3: 206
Round 4: 219
Round 5: 264
Round 6: 258

For myself, I ended with 159 points (of a possible 192). I had a few blown calls, especially in the Elite Eight, but no horrible cascades.

Big thanks to @Coaster365 for running this all month, when we could use the distraction, and providing a daily dose of coaster photos for everyone's enjoyment!

See you again next year!
