Kopasite 10th anniversary cup (start: march 11th)

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 2 Mar 2012, 20:15

To celebrate Kopasite's 10 year anniversary I'm arranging a cup. The cup will consist of 10 one week events with levels from older and newer Kopasite designers. The cup will start on sunday March 11th, which means events will start and have deadline on sunday evenings.

This cup will be the first to be held using a new EOL cup system. This means that all you have to do to participate is to drive it online in EOL and the site will find all times driven within the deadline. Times will be hidden from the level on all lists on EOL site aswell as in-game during the event. The winner will ofcourse have to upload his replay. You can do this during the event or up to 24 hours after the deadline, after which the win will be given to next best player. Everyone can upload their replays and this is recommended so we can see different styles etc.
There will be one skippable event, meaning worst result will be remove if you play all 10 events. Designers can play all events they want including their own.

Confirmed designers:
Zero/BlaZtek
Haruhi
sla
Kopaka

The page to upload replays and see results will be ready sometime during next week.

This EOL cup system will be available on EOL site for others to make their own cups at a later point.

Reminder: The Cup starts today at 22 EET!

Cfilorvy wrote:Am I allowed to play offline?

Short answer is no as Haruhi said. Nowadays times are not considered legit driven offline, so needs to be online to be verified, which also gives easy access to all times driven for the results. If you are worried about times being public they won't. A flag can be set on levels that disables best times list, which will be turned on for the events when they are on. You need to drive hidden though to hide them from f7 list.

Cup has started.
http://elmaonline.net/kopasite/
Download first level http://elmaonline.net/kopasite/index.ph ... lev/165115

To make things clear about visible, not visible times:
During an event the given level will have its "Hidden" flag turned on. This means that the shift+F5 (Best Times) list is disabled and times are not shown on eolsite either for that level. The times you drive will still show on F7 (Recent Times) list, unless you drive hidden (Shift+F1) in which case your times are not shown on F7. Note that your times will still be visible on F7 to yourself, but they are not to others if you are hidden. If you are shown only to team, team members can see times on F7 etc.

tl:dr version: Play hidden and other won't see your times anywhere.

Updated some wrong version of a php file earlier, try now.

If you click on the rec dl for Winner of the first event (FinMan in this case) it gives you the rec for Wolf. Maybe it gives most recently uploaded rec.

Remember deadline today at 22:00 EET.

Fixed some stuff on site, has been some confusion regarding timezones, everything should be fine now that whole world has gone into summertime. Times are EET (GMT +2)

ville_j · Post by **ville_j** » 1 Apr 2012, 18:56

Quite confusing yes because EET is now GMT+3 (summer time) =)

Lousku · Post by **Lousku** » 1 Apr 2012, 19:06

Compulsory: Greenwich is currently not in GMT.

Maybe technically but any sort of common sense would tell you that when we are currently in summertime and someone says EET what he means is EET's summertime time. Also: 4 mins left!

ville_j · Post by **ville_j** » 1 Apr 2012, 21:43

Yes but why would you say gmt+2 ???

The cup page is now fully integrated in the new eol site on http://elmaonline.net/statistics/cups/1 (the elmaonline.net/kopasite will still redirect there). You can also browse to it from stats section.

Grats to Madness for his second event win in event 6, which made the overall top a bit closer again, we are now playing a level by veezay!

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 29 Apr 2012, 20:53

With a win in 7th event Madness now has 3 event wins like finman and has taken over the lead in the overall standings from him.

8th event is on with a level from me. http://elmaonline.net/kopasite/

i once played 1337 cup with friends a lot.
i didnt even had bad times.
after i asked kopa friendly he sent me recs..4 years sure is ago. and he said i can never be official combatant.
kopaka is a good human. looking back i should have never asked for the recs but sent in mine and trying to get better.

mmh

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 6 May 2012, 10:23

Remember today is last day to hoyl 8th event, deadline tonight at 22 EET.

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 6 May 2012, 17:32

IRC results will be delayed an hour or two today.

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 13 May 2012, 10:22

Remember deadline is today at 22 EET for ninth event.

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 13 May 2012, 23:57

We are now in the last event, which means the 1 skip rule will start to kick in. Here is a quick guide.

1. If you so far have played only 8 or less events you don't need to think about it, you will get all the points you gain from the last event.
2. If you have played all 9 previous events you can still play the last.
3. If you have played all 9 previous events you will only gain points in the total standings for 10th event if you get a place that is better than your current worst result, and you will only gain the amount that you improve your worst results with.
4. If you play all 10 events your worst results will still be there in the results for that event and eventually "take" points from others.

So lets take a look at who can get in top 5:
Madness now: 790p, worst: 4th (70p), can gain: 30p = 820p (1st)
finman now: 730p, worst: 5th (65p), can gain: 35p = 765p (2nd)
Spef now: 670p, worst: 5th (65p), can gain: 35p = 705p (3rd)
adi now: 584p, worst: 19th (32p), can gain: 68p = 652p (4th)
aspec now: 446p, worst: 15th (36p), can gain: 64p = 510p (5th)
Stini now: 438p, worst: N/A (0p), can gain: 100p = 538p (5th)
Labs now: 415p, worst: N/A (0p), can gain: 100p = 515p (5th)
NightMar now: 401p, worst: N/A (0p), can gain: 100p = 501p (5th)

Last part is how many points and which position they can potentially end up with. "Releasing" this kind of takes out a bit of excitement you might say, but it's info anyone could have found. Also I think it's more exciting when you know what you can do rather than competing in blindness, and it might give some people an extra incitament. I don't want people to misunderstand either, thinking they can get more points that they actually can.

This doesn't mean Madness should just lean back of course, he can help fellow team mate labs to fith place by trying to get in between him and aspec in the 10th event results. Also there will be plaque's on your Kopasite user page for every event win, so even if you have nothing to play for in the standings you can still try to get one (more) of these! or just for the sake of improving your lead to look even better. And of course it being an igge lev should be reason enough to hoyl it all week.

If you haven't yet played this cup this is also your last chance to be part of the very first EOL cup!

Thanks to everyone who participated in this cup, helping to celebrate 10 years of Kopasite and to test the new cup feature on EOL site. Thanks to all designers who made levels for this cup, everyone I asked said yes and only 1 of those later backed out.

It was nice watching, though I didn't really like the graphics used on the background and watching 2 replays simultaneously is just too much for me. But I didn't follow this cup when it happened so it was interesting to see the levels and replays now. Definitely every cup should be turned into video with winner replays at least.
