Welcome Tadpoolers and <> members! This is the official home of the Trivia Crack League Crazy as a March Hare's Edition. Congratulations to jenniej23, winner of Week 7.

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.
    • While the original format of the tournament was to be entirely done with Classic format Trivia Crack games, this was determined to be unfeasible with ~50 people.
    • A modified "playoff" style format will be done as follows.
  • The TOP 25 contestants will be seeded as follows, in order:
    • Weekly overall and tier A winners, ranked by REGULAR SEASON OVERALL RANK
    • Weekly tier B and tier C winners, ranked by overall rank
    • As many players, ranked by overall rank, as needed to fill up a list of 25 people
  • An additional 5 contestants will be determined during the WILD CARD WEEK:
    • Another weekly competition (consisting of three nightly challenges) will consist of the next 29 players determined by overall rank who are not in the top 25
    • Scoring will be determined by rank (29 pts for 1st, 1 for 29th, 0 if incomplete)
    • Top 5 advance
  • ROUND 1 will consist of the TOP 25 plus the 5 WILD CARD contestants
    • Done via 5 weekly challenges (Sunday night through Thursday night roughly)
    • Scoring will be determined by rank (30 pts for 1st, 1 for 30th, 0 if incomplete)
    • Top 8 advance
  • ROUND 2 will consist of Classic mode challenges seeded NCAA-style (1v8, 2v7, 3v6, 4v5)
    • Playoff ranks determined by REGULAR SEASON OVERALL RANK
    • Best of 3 classic challenges, two of which will be assigned by the lower-seeded player and the third by the higher-seed
      • The player who challenges can only achieve three crowns on their first turn
      • The first two must be assigned by different players
    • Both players must report the outcome of each match to @Sunbun or @DiamondTrivia on Twitter, or Sunbun on IRC (irc.chatrealm.net). The message should include the winner of the match plus the score of the match (# crowns)
  • SEMI-FINALS will consist of Classic mode challenges
    • Same rules as Round 2 apply
    • The player of the 1v8 match will play the winner of the 4v5 match
    • The player of the 2v7 match will play the winner of the 3v6 match
  • FINALS will consist of Classic mode challenges
    • Best of 5
  • In the event that discrepancies or disputes occur, the matchup will be decided entirely by a "challenge mode" match

Tentative Post-Season Schedule

  • break between Week 8 and week of May 18 due to real life, finals, etc
  • Wk of May 18: Wild Card
  • Wk of May 25: Round 1
  • Wk of June 1: Round 2
  • Semis begin when Round 2 completes
  • Finals begin when Semis complete

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)
