Welcome to Round 2 of the TSW World Cup. It's the North American conference, featuring the two Third Place routes; Harlem Line (NA) and Munich-Augsburg (EUR) Tie 1 Munich Augsburg Vs Antelope Valley Line Tie 2 Harlem Line Vs Clinchfield Tie 3 NEC Boston Vs Cajon Pass Tie 4 NEC New York - Trenton Vs Sand Patch Grade Voting As with the Group Stages, it is recommended you only vote for one route per tie, as it makes things more interesting. Your votes will be capped at 4 - one per tie - so use them wisely. Any voting option which is just '.' is a filler space. This is so it is abundantly clear which option in the poll is linked to which. Two routes that touch each other in the poll are up against each other. For the European and British polls, as well as Group Stage results and updates, see the TSW World Cup master thread: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/the-tsw-world-cup.77086/ To stay up to date with the competition, I recommend following the thread too. This poll will run for a day. Have fun!
The abstentions are interesting: 40 votes as of this writing have been cast for Clinchfield/Harlem, compared to 38 for Boston/Cajon and 36 in the other two contests.
What’s more interesting is the fact that some people are voting for both routes in the same tie, which is the same as voting for neither.
I abstained on the last pairing as I haven't played Sand Patch Grade and NY-Trenton is still in a poor state and I can't say I've had any fun with it yet so didn't see a good reason to cast a vote. (Otherwise I voted for Harlem, Antelope Valley and Boston, the latter of which is my preference despite outstanding signalling / dispatcher issues)
