Scoring

You will pick a team of 5 'Scapers who are playing in the 2008 GenCon Indianapolis Championship and earn points based upon the performance of all of the members of your team. Points will be earned on both Day 1 and Day 2 of the tournament.

On Day 1 you will earn 10 points for each victory a member of your team has in the tournament and a bonus of 10 points for each member of your team that has a winning record in Day 1.

For example, if your team consists of players A (4W-1L), B (3W-2L), C (2W-3L), D (3W-2L), and E (2W-3L) your team would have a combined record of 14W-11L and would have 3 players with winning records. You would earn 170 points for Day 1 even though it is likely that only player A will have made the cut for Day 2.

The players who make the cut for Day 2 will earn points based when they are eliminated from the tournament upon the following scale:

1st Place 1500 pts
2nd Place 1200 pts
3rd Place 900 pts
4th Place 630 pts
5th – 8th 375 pts
9th – 16th 225 pts

To account for players who will undoubtedly be favorites to do well and make the cut to participate in Day 2 of the Championship, the total number of points you will earn will be a share of the total points for that finish. Therefore the total points earned by that player will be divided by the number of people who also have that participant on their team. However, this contest is not meant to be about who happens to choose one or two “unknown” ‘Scapers who have a good showing and earn them absurd amounts of points in relation to everyone else. For this reason the most a player’s points will be divided by will be 15 even if more than 15 people pick this person to be on their team.

Continuing from the previous example, we will assume that player A and player B both made the cut to Day 2 and that player A is on 22 team rosters while player B is on 7. Player B loses in the first round of Day 2 while player A loses in the semi-finals and wins the consolation match finishing in 3rd Place.

Player A will have earned you 60 points (900/15) and player B will have earned you 32.1 points (225/7).

Your total score would be 262.1 points.

One (1) of your players may be an “Other”. No – not on a movable desert island from a popular television show. An "Other" will represent the field of players in the tournament who are not listed on the Master Eligibility List. However this player will not earn points on Day 1 and only the top finishing “Other” participant is eligible to earn points. Furthermore that player will have his points divided in half again after normal scoring rules have been applied. For example, if player A above was an “Other” he would only be worth 30 points for all those who selected him (assuming he is the highest finishing “Other”) and would have earned no points on Day 1.



Rules

• Only people who did not attend GenCon will be eligible for the Grand Prize. Everyone is eligible for the others.

• Only memeber who join the site before July 1, 2008 are eligible for prizes.

• Rosters must be comprised of 5 people selected from the Master Eligibility list as of July 1st, 2008. The Master Eligibility list will be those individuals who are listed in the GenCon Events Players Roster thread first posted by Buddy Lee.

• All entries must be submitted via PM by Monday, August 11th 2008. Only one entry is allowed per person and once submitted it may not be changed. A confirmation PM will be sent to inform you that your team has been accepted. After the deadline has passed, rosters and player division factors will be released to the general public.

• No team is allowed to be exactly the same as another. In the event that identical submissions are made, the first to make that submission will be given that roster and any subsequent submissions will be voided and the individuals making said submissions will be contacted via PM informing them of the voided entry.

• If you choose, you may list your army publicly after you have received your confirmation PM. I (damja) will post my submission within 24 hours of the start of the contest so as to not create any conflict of interests.

• Ties, although unlikely (and yes, I know they were supposed to be unlikely last year too), will first be broken by exact values before rounding. If there is still a tie a d20 will be rolled.
