Hello fellow community! Since last time was a big success in terms of popularity,
I present you: The Allrounder Knockout Tournament 2.0 (AKT2.0)
We changed a lot of rules so please just read the WHOLE post before registrating.
I will make it chronologically:
1) Registration:
You registrate in the formular on the end of this part, by giving your WCA-ID,
3 events that you ban (Which means you should ban events you are bad at) and
optionally your "Speedsolving.com competition website username" (From the weekly comp, not the forum!). In case you did not yet participate in the weekly comp yet,
you can make a profile there with this link (This will be important for seeding):
https://www.speedsolving.com/competitions/?side=opretBruger
Formular: https://goo.gl/forms/wsAPQHGKSIU5yD2d2
Seeding:
Again we will only take 128 people into the tournament.
But this time the top 128 seeded persons of registration will participate.
We will make the seeding according to the following scheme:
Your best results from your WCA profile and, if you gave your speedsolving.com competition website username,
the two following weeks of the speedsolving comp.
(18.12.2018-30.12.2018) will be valued for the seeding. (This should help people who cant go to many comps)
Like last time seeding will be made similar to kinch.
The only difference is that we will use Chad's FMC scoring system (80-PR)/(80-WR) for FMC
instead of just (PR/WR) to make it more fair.
(If your kinch would be negative with this calculation then you will get a kinch of 0.)
We will be posting the current rankings for seeding in the comments around 26-27.12.2018. and the final seeding and knockout tree until 4.1.2019.
Format:
This time we will have a best of 5 instead of best of 3. Feedback and the poll showed that
a majority wants best of 5 and also me and Malte think its better.
Also this time we will have double elimination brackets,
which means that you have something like an "extra life".
There will be a battle for 3rd place again.
The Rounds:
IMPORTANT: We shifted the deadlines a day to the front, which means that the rounds now go from
Tuesday to Monday 23:59 PM (GMT+1)
The AKT2.0 will start on Tuesday 8.1.2019.
You and your enemy will get 5 events choosen per random that you have to participate in.
Whoever wins 3 of them wins the battle and succeeds to the next round. If you tie, then the
kinch score of your results will decide the battle.
The result entry will stay the same besides the number of events you have to entry.
I will post an exact info about result entry in the announcement posts for the rounds
and it will also be explained in the entry formular, since it is not relevant yet and
I dont want this post to be longer then it has to be.
Penalty System:
Since we were pretty annoyed the the huge number of missing results, we decided to penalize that.
So please only registrate if you are really willing to participate.
Note that you will only be affected, if you submit NOTHING or ONLY DNFs (even a single prevents that).
Everyone should be at least able to do 1 event. If you have a good reason to not submit, write us a pm.
You dont have to go in depth about your reasons, we just wanna know that you were not just lazy.
Beeing penalized has 2 consequences:
1) You will be diqualified from the AKT2.0
2) You will be disadvantaged for the next AKT in the seeding.
This means that everyone who isnt penalized will be automatically seeded better then you for the next AKT.
I want to thank Malte Ihlefeld for coorganizing and writing seeding scripts.
I also wanna thank Mike Hughey, who makes it possible for us to use the weekly comp results for seeding.
If you have questions, ask them in the comments.
