| Ciao a tutti! Certo che 20$ mi paiono un po' tantini per una competizione del genere, fossero stati 10$ ci si poteva anche pensare. Insomma toccherà aspettare i video, a meno che non salti fuori qualche streaming all'ultimo  Non so se sono già state messe le regole, ma ecco il post di Jackie Wong che spiega come funzionerà la gara, certo che potevano farla più complicata, eh..  QUICITAZIONE But how does this thing work??
For clarity's sake, let's take a look at the actual format of the event, because if you haven't looked at the rules, you will likely be supremely confused. Here's how Team Challenge Cup works. First thing to note is that Day 1 and Day 2 are basically two different competitions with two different final standings.
Note: This explanation is based on TCC's announcement from February.
Team Short Program Competition (Day 1) - Men and ladies only
Competition happens in 3 warmup groups of 3 men and 3 women each (mixed groups!!!)
Each team assigns one man and one woman, without duplicates, to each warmup group (e.g., North America, Europe, and Asia will all have one man and one woman in each group)
Points are awarded within each warmup group in head-to-head-to-head matchups
Group 1 Men: 12 points for 1st place, 10 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place
Group 1 Ladies: 12 points for 1st place, 10 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place
Group 2 Men: 12 points for 1st place, 10 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place
Group 2 Ladies: 12 points for 1st place, 10 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place
Group 3 Men: 12 points for 1st place, 10 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place
Group 3 Ladies: 12 points for 1st place, 10 points for 2nd place, 8 points for 3rd place
Each team can earn a minimum of 48 points and a maximum of 72 points
Teams will decide whom to assign in which group without knowing what the other teams did, so this element of chance could make things very interesting
The total points earned by the three teams will determine the Team Short Program Winners - these points will NOT carry over to Day 2
Tiebreakers
1st tiebreak is the aggregate score of the top men's SP and top ladies' SP
2nd tiebreak is the aggregate score of the 2nd men's SP and 2nd ladies' SP
Team Challenge Cup (Day 2) - Men, ladies, pairs, dance
Cuz it's not confusing enough, the actual thing called the Team Challenge Cup happens on Day 2, where the entire team of men, ladies, pairs, and dance teams all compete
Unlike the first day, the second day is all about point totals (!!!)
Pairs and dance compete in the afternoon and skate a free program, and the top scoring pair and dance for each team will be counted toward the total score (the other scores are dropped)
The men and ladies skate their free skates in the evening, and the top 2 men and top 2 ladies on each team will count toward the total score (the other scores are dropped)
Warmup groups will again be mixed, with the final group featuring the top skaters in the SP from each team
Confused enough? |
