Trivia Crack League

What is Trivia Crack?

It's a iOS/Android app and Facebook game for general knowledge trivia. It's like Uber, but for trivia.

Want to participate?

Message Sunbun on Chatrealm, Twitter (@replies are fine), or Reddit with your Chatrealm and Trivia Crack handles.

Note that Trivia Crack has a little bit of a spam issue so if you would like reminders to when the next round is up via Twitter, let me know as well. Turn off your Trivia Crack notifications to stop the spam.

Rules

General

• ABSOLUTELY NO GOOGLING, NO USE OF POWER-UPS, AND NO CHEATING. PERIOD. PINKY-SWEAR THAT SHIT!
• Each contest will be a game of Trivia Crack in the challenge mode.
• Scoring for the top tier will be ((Players in Tier) - (Rank) + 1)x(1/z), where z is a number which represents the player's tier of participation (Tier A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc)
  • If the top tier had 10 players, 1st place gets 10 points, 10th place gets 1.
  • If the second tier had 10 players, 1st place gets 5 points, 10th place gets 0.5. You can figure it out from here.
  • Ranking is determined based on Trivia Crack scoring, which is based on questions correct and fastest time completed.
• If you don't play a round, you don't get points for that round, but will continue to accumulate points for the week.
• There will be three challenges weekly (Sunday night after JuRY, Tuesday night after NA, and Thursday night). The player will have 24 hours to complete the challenge in order to receive points for the challenge.
• Weekly scores reset weekly. Overall scores do not. The winner of each weekly contest gets pride and bragging rights (for now).
• Not sure on prizes yet.
• Not sure on the endgame yet. Probably some head-to-head stuff using the Classic mode.
• At this time, Sunbun will officiate all rounds and will also be a participant.
• The league officiant has the right to add or remove participants from the contest, or promote or relegate participants from one tier to another.

Promotion and Relegation

• Presently, there is only one tier, so many of these rules will not apply. But eventually more tiers will have to be created...
• The initial tier will have up to 26 participants.
• In the event that the number of total participants in the league exceeds 26, the league will be split into two tiers.
• Both tiers will initially contain the same amount of participants (i.e. the initial tier will be split evenly) and consist partly of lower-ranked participants in the top tier.
• Each week, low-scoring participants of a higher tier will be relegated to the next lowest tier; high-scorers will replace them.
  • Don't know exactly how many of each yet.
  • Sunbun will need to create the contest for each tier, so he will participate in all tiers BUT only score points in the tier which he is active.
• New participants will start in the lowest-available tier.

Technical Issues

• In the event that a technical issue prevents a player from completing the challenge, the player is still able to receive points for participation in one of two ways:
  • 1) Completing an additional challenge with random participants, then submitting a screenshot of the player's final score and elapsed time to the league officiant (Sunbun)
  • 2) just ask nicely bruh (tell Sunbun which questions you got wrong, your final score, and your elapsed time)
• "Completing the challenge" means that the player's final outcome of the day's challenge is visible to all, and the player has only completed the question set once (i.e. if you are able to re-do the challenge, don't)
