Format ๐ฅ
There will be 4 swiss rounds in a 3v1 format followed by 1 round of Grand Finals.Finalists will be grouped for matches according to points awarded after each swiss round of the tournament, such that each team is evenly balanced in points.
Scoring ๐งฎ
In each round, one player play as the Exile, and the other 3 play as Hunters.
The score of the Exile will be the target to beat by each individual Hunter.Hunters be awarded points for the match only if they beat the Exile (with the exception of no Hunter beating the exile, which 1 point will be awarded to the highest scoring Hunter).
Swiss rounds points scoring table
| No. of Hunters beating Exile | Exile | Hunter (Win) | Hunter (Lose) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 8 | - | 1 (Highest scorer) |
| 1 | 6 | 2 | 0 |
| 2 | 4 | 3 | 0 |
| 3 | 2 | 4 | 0 |
Exile matches are able to score up to 2x of Hunter matches!
All players will play a minimum of 4 matches, one of which will be played as the Exile. The top 4 players at the end of the 4th round will play an additional Grand Finals round, where they will compete based off score with a modified scoring for points added to their points from the swiss rounds.
Grand Finals points scoring table
| Position | Points awarded |
|---|---|
| 1st | 6 |
| 2nd | 5 |
| 3rd | 3 |
| 4th | 2 |
Due to the asymmetrical nature of the tournament, for seeding and song selection purposes during the swiss rounds, max attainable score percentage (MAS%) will be used to determine how well finalists are doing compared to the others.
Max Attainable Score Percentage (MAS%)
MAS% = Current score / Max attainable Score
e.g. on round 3 if finalist has not played their exile round yet and currently has 7 pointsMAS% = 7 / (4+4+4)
MAS% = 7 / 12 = 0.583
e.g. on round 3 if finalist has played their exile round and currently has 9 pointsMAS% = 9 / (4+4+8)
MAS % = 9 / 16 = 0.563
Songpool ๐ผ
Songpool Grid for the swiss rounds are set by the finalists for their own Exile round; except for the grand finals.4x4 Songs are selected to fill up their songpool grid, with each song meeting both criterias for the grid that it is in (e.g. Level 14 and ORIGINAL category). 2 songs can be selected that meet only 1 criteria out of the 2.
Example of valid songpool grid, with ๐ซ denoting 1-criteria songs
Criterias are set as follows:
(Note that duplicate songs and categories are not allowed)
| Bracket | Seed | Category |
|---|---|---|
| All | All | ORIGINAL |
| All | All | Select 3 (POPS & ANIME, niconico, ๆฑๆนProject, VARIETY, ใคใญใใชใใใช, ใฒใญใใค) |
| Bracket | Seed | Song levels |
|---|---|---|
| Competitive | Seed 1 - Seed 8 | 13+, 14, 14+, 15 |
| Competitive | Seed 9 - Seed 16 | 13, 13+, 14, 14+ |
| Casual | Seed 1 - Seed 8 | 13, 13+, 14, 14+ |
| Casual | Seed 9 - Seed 16 | 12+, 13, 13+, 14 |
Song Selection ๐ถ
At the start of each match, using the songpool grid, one row or column will be randomly selected to become the songpool.From the songpool, 2 songs will be picked:
1. The Hunter with the highest MAS% (or seed for round 1) will first select 1 song to ban.
2. The Exile picks the 1st song to play.
3. The other 2 Hunters pick the 2nd song to play.
Example of song selection
Songpool for grand finals ๐บ
For each match, the 2 one-criteria songs will be available to be selected to the 1 square of the grand finals songpool grid. Participants/spectators will be able to vote for which song they want.- One square will be revealed at the start of each match, along with the current songpool
- Songpools without 2 one-criteria songs (or duplicates already in the grandfinals songpool) will have random master songs generated to have 2 songs selectable
- Should there be any duplicated songs, the higher seed will take priority for the song
- Grand finals songpool will only be finalised during the lucky draw phase
