Welcome Tadpoolers and <> members! This is the official home of the Trivia Crack League Crazy as a March Hare's Edition. Congratulations to KAPT_Kipper, winner of Week 6.

Discussion for the league can be found at the Diamond Club Subreddit at http://diamondclub.reddit.com, or visit Chatrealm's IRC at irc.chatrealm.net. Follow @DiamondTrivia on Twitter, and use #DiamondClubTrivia. This page may be reached at tiny.cc/crack.

Currently: Tier A will earn 2.5x points, Tier B will earn 1.5x points, and Tier C will earn 1x points. Promotion and relegation will occur at the end of the week. Bottom 5 of each Tier move down to the next Tier, top 5 of each Tier move up. New participants will begin in Tier C.

Participants, please read and remember: no Googling, no power-ups or use of coins, and no cheating. All answers must come from you and your brain only. There are three challenges in a week - one that ends on Mon. night, one on Wed. night, and one on Fri. night.

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, follow @DiamondTrivia and enable mobile notifications by clicking on the gear next to the Follow button.

Rules

Updated 3/10/15

General

  • ABSOLUTELY NO GOOGLING, NO USE OF POWER-UPS, AND NO CHEATING. PERIOD. PINKY-SWEAR THAT SHIT! It's okay to suck!
  • Each contest will be a game of Trivia Crack in the challenge mode.
  • Players will have 24 hours to complete the daily challenge once it is assigned, roughly at 11PM PT / 2AM ET.
  • There will be three challenges weekly (Sunday night after JuRY, Tuesday night after NA, and Thursday night). This is subject to change.
  • Not sure on prizes yet.
  • 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.
  • Players who do not complete three consecutive challenges in a row will be removed from the league.

Scoring

  • Scoring for each tier will be based on the number of people in the tier and the level of competition in the tier.
  • Ranks are determined based on Trivia Crack scoring, which is based on the number of questions answered correctly. Ties are broken by the speed at which the player completes the challenge.
  • Base scoring is based on (Max people in tier - rank in tier + 1). Tier A wins 2.5x this amount. Tier B wins 1.5x. Tier C wins 1x.
  • If you don't play a round, you don't get points for that round, but will continue to accumulate points for the week.
  • Weekly champions are crowned at the end of a week (consisting of three challenges).
  • Overall scores reset at the end of the "season."
  • Overall scores will serve as a method of determining seeding for the endgame, currently scheduled at the end of 6 weeks of competition.

Promotion and Relegation

  • There are multiple tiers of the league, tier A (15 people), tier B (15 people), and tier C (up to 29 people).
  • At the end of each week, the bottom 5 scorers in each tier will be replaced by the top 5 scorers in the next-lowest tier.
  • The number of participants in the top tier will be capped at 15. Additional tiers will be capped at 29.
  • New tiers will be created by splitting the lowest-available tier into two tiers, one with the top 15 participants in the tier based on overall score, and another with everyone else in the tier.
  • New participants will start in the lowest-available tier (tier C).
  • The officiant 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.
  • As of Week 6, tier ranks are determined in this order
    • 1) Cumulative points scored during the week of competition (up to 112.5)
    • 2) Number of challenges completed during the week of competition (up to 3)
    • 3) Average time to complete individual challenges - does not include unattempted challenges - rounded to three decimal places
    • 4) Coin flip

Post-Season

  • At the end of 8 weeks of regular competition, the overall scores will determine seeding for the tournament, which will be played with head to head "Classic" games.
  • For each match, each player must initiate a classic challenge. There will be two classic games per match.
  • A player can win a match in one of two ways:
    • The player wins both games
    • The player has a sum total of crowns over two games greater than that of their opponent
  • Both players in the match must report the score of each challenge to the officiator.
  • If there is a dispute, the matchup will be decided via a two-person "friend challenge" match with the officiator serving as the third person.

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 by completing an additional challenge with random participants, then submitting a screenshot of the player's final score and elapsed time to the league officiant.
    • "Completing the challenge" means that the outcome of the player's challenge is visible to all participants, and the outcome represents the player's first attempt at completing the question set (i.e. if you are able to re-do the challenge, don't... integrity, etc)
  • In the event that a player cannot be located on Trivia Crack with the player's handle provided by the officiant, the player will not earn points in the league until the correct handle has been provided to the officiant by the player (i.e. the officiant is able to locate the player)
