Fantasy Cubing 2014 (New Website!)

[That70sShowDude]

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.

I had thought of this as well but I'd rather it be based off of intuition and the research that the person does like Noah said.

Scoring system:

WORLD RECORD: If one of your cubers gets a world record in an event, you will receive a number of points equal to the number of people who have competed in that event.

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

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

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.

So lets just say Brandon Mikel gets 3x3 Average WR in one competition then at another competition beats that WR Average, do you score it as two WRs or one?

How about if Brandon gets 3x3 Average WR then later gets 3x3 Single WR. Do those count as different events or one 3x3 event?

Also, you mentioned in the form that WRs don't double up as CRs or NRs. What about if they get WR in the final round, do they then get the 1st Place score along with the WR or do those not double up too.

Every record is counted separately, as long as the WCA counts them as separate records. Breaking WR single twice in one round only counts as one record because that is how the WCA counts it, but breaking it in consecutive rounds counts as two WRs.

Records and comp placements can and will double up.

Submitted the form. This is a great idea.
How do you come up with so many???
Y U so creative?

When do you figure out the number of people who have competed in that event for points for the Records. At the time of the WR, at the end of the month that it was broken, or at the end of the year?

Instead of wording it as "Lets just say", you should be wording it as "when"

Why not have something like an auction with the top ppl from major countries going in( not money based auction) and the leftover ppl can form teams within themselves.. so that teams wudnt be biased

See bold. Regional records are only recognised at the end of each day. 2 records in different rounds on the same day only count as one record.

 

[Logical101]

great idea

 

[Carrot]

We used to do this among a small group of cubers

 

[Genesis]

Should have read clearer before starting, totally missed out the winning a competition part
:fp

 

[cubizh]

Great idea. I wonder why you're using people's names and not the WCA IDs though. Some confusion may arise from that.

 

[Trexrush1]

IF we win what do we get?

 

[LarsN]

I've set up my team. I'm going mostly european. I hope none of my cubers get any injuries or girlfriends.

 

[ottozing]

See rule #9

Oh, my bad. I thought that was true based on my results from Cambridge. Just realized that the BLD rounds were on different days.

Me too

You should have just required WCA-IDs instead of names. Would have made it easier for you.

 

[TMOY]

And what if we want to bet on people who have never competed yet ? People smashing WRs at their first comp are now rare, but still happen (Sameer for example).

Daniel is going to be calculating the scores, and he said names were fine. Hopefully they work out.
