SS Competition Results
Season 1 is HERE BABY !!!

Competitor Count - 4 (subject to change)


RULES :

1 - To win a game, your Ao5 must be 0.75s faster then your opponents. Wins give you 3 points.
2 - Draws occur when your Ao5 is less then 0.75s faster then your opponents. Draws give both players 1 point.
3 - Losses occur when your Ao5 is more then 0.75s faster then your opponents. Losses give you no points.
4 - The total time of each Ao5 (not individual solves) will be tracked and added together. This will decide ranking if points are equal.
5 - Once a week, you will be drawn against one player who you have not played against yet in the season. You each do an ao5 to see who emerges with the most points.
6 - The bottom 2 will serve a one season ban, this will change as more people join and when there is a new division.

TO HELP ORGANISE :

1 - Organisers will be prioritised in joining the league, will be bumped straight to top of waitlist.
2 - PM me - I will likely assume you are asking to compete if you reply here, I am usually very tired from school or smth when I am online.
3 - Preferably have experience with other forum comps, but if not it does not render you ineligible.
4 - I will not be accepting every person who asks. I will be bias to people I am familiar with, but will always take into account their experiences in organising forum comps (if available).

TO COMPETE :

1 - Ask if you can join in this thread. Simple, really.
2 - If Season is ongoing, you will be placed on a waitlist, the higher up you are on the waitlist, the less time you will wait to get in the comp.
3 - Spots will be given out to those on top of waitlist when someone leaves/is relegated or when additional spots are added.
4 - EXCEPTION - When the league is expanded to 2 Divisions each with 10 people, or 1 Division with 18 people, 3 spots will be reserved for organisers. Organisers can be relegated and such n such, don't worry.

ORGANISING VOTE SYSTEM :

1 - When suggesting improvements to the league, all organisers have to agree.
2 - When dealing with potential cheating or meanies etc, 2/3 majority have to agree.

CLARIFICATION : THIS IS 3x3 ONLY

CHANGELOGS :

- Changes made before a season starts will be put outside of the changelogs spoiler. Once the first season the changes applied to is over, they will be moved into the designated changelog spoiler.
- Changes made during a season, unless explicitly stated, will not go into effect for the ongoing season.

Season 0 - April 21st 2026

So, I saw @mdcuber9 and their new 2x2 comp, and it sort of made me think of how football leagues work.

After quickly making myself understand that Monkey LEAGUE is not much of a LEAGUE and more of a tournament, I wondered if it was possible to create a football league inspired competition.

Here is how it would work, with changes that make it more cuber friendly

Win - When someone does their ao5 and wins by more then about X seconds - 3 points
Draw - When the 2 competitors have results with a difference equal to or less than X seconds - 1 point
Loss - When someone loses a game by more then X seconds

Obviously someone needs to win by more then X seconds to make sure draws can actually happen.

It might be nice to try make it so people can have a home advantage, e.g. when playing a HOME game, your solve is decreased by Y seconds or smth like that.

When points are equal, position would be firstly be decided by who has more wins, but then if those are the same it would be TD - Time Difference, which would be the combined total of all the ao5s (not individual solves) that you went up against, subtract the total of all your ao5s (not the individual solves) or TT - Time Total, which is just the total time of all your ao5s done.

If enough people like this idea, I am willing to do a test version with like 3 - 5 people over the course of a week or so to see if it has potential.

Obviously, if this does become a nice thing I'd need some kind people to help, and I will take all the credit and brag about it for all eternity I would be very thankful for as this idea is bound to fail if its just me.

Season 1 changes :

- Draw difference changed to 0.75
- Bottom 2 of 4 serve 1 season ban.
- Applications for organising now open.
- League amount expanded to 4 people.
- Scrambler used changer to CStimer
- Organiser requirements and such changed MASSIVELY

This league currently uses CStimer to generate scrambles.
Matchups are currently NOT randomised, but you will not go against someone twice.

I was thinking you could have a fantasy cubing league for any given large championship, so you mostly have lesser known cubers but at least one good one, maybe I will understand fantasy sports if I have this
 
question: will people be grouped into separate "tiers" as per their current averages? or will it be randomised? if it is, i believe that there should be some kind of normalisation to make scores fair.

for example, suppose a sub8 and a sub15 cuber are paired together. is this a possibility, and if so, how do you plan to adjust for the large difference in averages? (would it be something similar to a home game advantage as you mentioned or would this pairing not happen at all?)

since it's similar to a football league, i'd imagine there'd be games like spurs vs arsenal and arsenal vs man city (side note; how did arsenal bin the league) which led me to my original question.
 
well, imo 3 people liking the idea is enough for me to at least try it out.

CUBERS LEAGUE Season 0 !!!!!!!

season 0 as it is currently just an experiment, call it in alpha stage if you will.

As this is a test, Season 0 will be rather small, consisting of 3 people and only 2 matches per person, and will last 1 week.

If it runs for longer, I will slowly increase the number of people to roughly 10 for now, and maybe even make a second division so that there is relegation and that.

All 3 competitors are (most likely, remember this is a test, I will probably change things to see how it works) guaranteed a position in Season 1, which will probably contain 4 or 5 people.

Registration opens today, but note the ONLY the first 3 people will be accepted for now, and registration will be closed as soon as I notice 3 people have already asked to join.

Season 0 will hopefully run from tommorow (Friday, 23 of April) to Monday, 4th May.

A draw occurs when the difference between the 2 averages is less then 1s - Will be changed in later season to make sure draws dont happen too often.

CUBERS LEAGUE DIV 1 SEASON ZERO :

Name : Points : Win Count : Loss Count : Draw Count : Total Time :

3 - @Michael Wimberly

Assuming by tiers you mean division - No, once there is a division 2 (assuming it gets to that point), new players would automatically go into the lower league, I'd rather not have to kick someone out once there is a new league as someone new is better then them, and I won't immediately create a 2nd Division as it makes it potentially a waste of time and more hassle.

And yes (if this is what your also thinking), like a football league, each player would go against the other, probably only 1 time tho.

And god knows how the Bottlers/Set Piece FC/Gooners or whatever their called again bottled the league. AGAIN. Actually, I don't even think God knows.

fair enough: so a total of 3 matches in Div 1. idea: if it does expand to div 2, there should totally be a relegation and promotion system.

arsenal and trophies go together like oreos and engine oil

Bro this is the same style of comp as the uk monkey league this yeat

...

Monkey league has no such thing as draws, for example.
More importantly, this is point based, meaning someone can win without having the most wins.
And monkey league is based on sets (i believe) whilst this is based on overall average.
I obviously made sure it had differences.
do you research on what monkey league involves before saying that.

why do you care anyway ? You literally have to be VERY good to get in monkey league, whilst this is available to the public (obviously has a limit tho).

fair enough: so a total of 3 matches in Div 1.
yeah, keeps it simple
idea: if it does expand to div 2, there should totally be a relegation and promotion system.
obviously, wheres the fun in not doing that ? and Id rather not end up with a top heavy league system (ofc tho when first implemented itll probably be top heavy).

Id probably expand to div 2 after a couple of season with 5 people, so that I can have 10 people competing in the same ish time period (obviously would expand those to a certain point).

Id defo put it in a seperate thread tho.
arsenal and trophies go together like oreos and engine oil
or like cubes and sand.

I would like to join and if you need help i also can help
 
Just an idea if there are like divisions and the people in division 1 race and division 2 race what if like a person from division 2 could say I challenge so and so for their division 1 position. Just an idea.
