Hey everyone! I am organizing something new and hopefully fun for the upcoming year of 2014.

Basically you choose 15 cubers for the year, and they will get you points by doing certain things. There will be monthly updates to the standings.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. SORRY TO ANYONE WHO DIDN'T REGISTER :(

WE NOW HAVE A NEW EVEN MORE AWESOME WEBSITE: http://fantasy.cubing.net/

Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/FantasyCubing

Scoring system:

Category = Either single or average in a specific event. For example, Square-1 single, 3x3 Blindfolded average etc.

Types of Record Points (RP)
WORLD RECORD: If one of your cubers gets a world record in a category, you will receive a number of points equal to the number of people who have an official result in that category.

CONTINENTAL RECORD: If one of your cubers gets a continental record in a category, you will receive a number of points equal to the number of people from that continent who have an official result in that category.

NATIONAL RECORD: If one of your cubers gets a national record in a category, you will receive a number of points equal to the number of people from that country who have an official result in that category.

NOTES:
-A world record only scores points for being a world record, and does not score points for also being a continental record and a national record. Similarly a continental record does not score points for being a national record.
-A cuber is counted as having an official result in a category if they have a non-DNF/DNS result for that category. Therefore if someone has a 33.33 second 3x3 single, but only DNF 3x3 averages, they will count towards the 3x3 single category, but not the 3x3 average category.
-RP are counted for the day on which the record was set. If a competition is x days long, the competition counts as having taken place on the nth day, where n = (x + 1)/2 and is rounded up. Therefore a two day competition counts as having taken place on the second day of the competition. This means that if Joe gets his first official 3x3 average at a 2 day comp, regardless of which day he got it on, his result will not affect the RP of a 3x3 average WR set on the first day of the comp, but will affect the RP of a 3x3 average WR set on the second day of the comp.


Types of Podium Points (PP)
1ST PLACE: If one of your cubers gets first place in an event at a competition, you will receive a number of points equal to ten times the number of people who competed in that event at that competition.

2ND PLACE: If one of your cubers gets second place in an event at a competition, you will receive a number of points equal to five times the number of people who competed in that event at that competition.

3RD PLACE: If one of your cubers gets third place in an event at a competition, you will receive a number of points equal to three times the number of people who competed in that event at that competition.

NOTES:
-The number of people who compete in an event at a competition includes everyone who takes part in the first round of the event, including people who did not get a successful solve.
-If a top 3 placement is achieved without getting a successful solve, then no PP are awarded.
-If a top 3 placement in an average of 5 or mean of 3 event is achieved with at least one success, even if the average is DNF, PP are awarded.



JANUARY 1 UPDATE:

The teams can be found here: http://goo.gl/3Ilzof

The teams are arranged in alphabetical order by the (user)name of the person who created the team. Within each team, the cubers have been put into alphabetical order. Also, all ~250 typos have been fixed thanks to Stefan.

Here are some pregame stats by Stefan:
Most Picked + Their 2013 Scores
How each team did in 2013
Best 2013 Picks

NOTE: these stats are approximate and count record points for averages in the wrong way.

Is there a plan if two people submit the same 15 team members? I know normally it would be rather unlikely, but if two people analyze the WCA database using a program and have the same idea of figuring out the best team members, it could form identical teams.

Then there would be a tie. It is very unlikely though, that the group of people who would have won 2013 will win 2014 though.

I agree, however, the group that won 2013 would likely be high up on the group that would win against hand picked teams. No one can pick the "perfect team" ahead of time, so doing what he suggests would likely give you decent points. Would at least help give ideas. If you generated top... 30 of 2013 and picked ones likely to do similar in 2014.

Hopefully people don't do that. I think it's more fun if everyone just goes off of their intuition.
