Season 10 Kick-off

Ladies and Gentlemen,
After a long pause, it's my pleasure to announce that Season 10 starts tomorrow (Friday).

In this post I am first pinging Consolation Cup players who start the season with "Weekend Zero". It's a play-off in Round of 24.

Further down I am going to explain the rules of Super League. It starts the following weekend (Aug 26 thru 29), but participants could get extra points earlier - so please read on.

I wish everybody a good season!

Awards for the Season

We have

  • 30,000 AFIT from @actifit (donated by @pjansen)
    -- this will be shared between the 6 players who make it to the Final Four of Super League and the Final of Consolation Cup
  • 400 ALIVE from @aliveprojects (donated by @flaxz.alive)
    -- this is going to be shared among the best players eliminated in each round
  • pool of HBD collected by @macfit
    -- shared among all participants

A note on the HBD pool:

We start the Season with just below 7 HBD:

@macfit HBD pool

The pool will grow from UPDATES on @macfit posts. 25% of HBD for any given post go to the beneficiaries (winners of the previous season, sponsors, admin and @archon-gov (in exchange for a chain of upvotes)). 75% of the pool at Season's end will be distributed among all players. The more upvotes, the higher the awards.

Super League - Get Ready

Participants of the Super League have one more week before they start. However, extra points can be earned by submitting a post into the @macfit community. Rules:

Rules:

  • post into the @macfit community an ORIGINAL piece (no reblogs), preferably in English or bilingual
  • chose a subject that falls into one of the two broad categories
    -- @actifit: any activity YOU DID (walk, hike, biking, mass sports event etc, even a musem visit would do)
    -- @alive: anything on appreciating live, achieving goals, sharing "good life" advice etc
  • tag #macfit AND either #actifit or #alive
  • only your own photos / graphics / screenshots
  • at least 250 words (400 if it is bilingual)
  • required beneficiaries:
    -- the community account (@hive-135376) 5% (HBD collected will form a pool of awards for Season 10 Super League)
    -- @macfit 5% (HBD collected will be used to award Consolation Cup players and will hopefully spill over the following season)
  • for a post to be counted for Weekend N, it must be posted before Thursday preceding that weekend (best: during Weekend N-1)
    -- Bonuses will be calculated on THURSDAY evening (CEST) BEFORE Weekend N starts

The bonus will be twofold:

  • the authors of the best four posts (decided by their total earnings from upvotes) will be awarded 20-15-12-10 points, added to their for the given weekend
  • during the weekend, other Super League participants will vote on the submitted posts (by commenting @macfit post which announces the vote). The best four will be again rewarded according to the 20-15-12-10 points scheme

Now, your first competition Weekend commences on Friday, Aug 26. @macfit will list competing posts on Thursday, Aug 25. Eligible entries should be therefore posted between Friday, Aug 19 and Thursday, Aug 25 (I will compile the list of entries around 21:00 CEST). And so for each of the competition weekends (5 in total).

Submitting posts is NOT mandatory (no penalties for the lack of thereof) - but you can gain precious points which will build your score and help to stay in the competition.

Super League Down the Road

Scoring

Season 10 Super League is played in a new format. Unlike previous seasons of Champions League, there's no group phase nor play-offs. The players do not play matches against one another.

Instead, we "walk alone", scoring for steps count during four days of a "weekend" (Friday thru Monday). The scores (step count divided by 1000 and rounded to the nearest integer) are summed up, bonuses from writing competition are added (see above) and thus a ranking is formed.

After each weekend, players with the lowest cumulative score are eliminated (best of them join Consolation Cup). We start with 24 participants and the Weekends of play will look as follows:

Weekend One

Not sure if I understand the following:
chose a subject that falls into one of the two broad categories
-- @actifit: any activity YOU DID (walk, hike, biking, mass sports event etc, even a musem visit would do)
This means to blog about such an activity **without **posting it in Actifit or elsewhere?

Hallo! I just sent some liquid HIVE for rewards in this edition. I can't myself take a part in the competition so I'd like to support it in this way. Good luck everybody!

Okay. Your @macfit Rank will suffer (you will still have points for the last 3 seasons). A good solution will be a Wild Card - for a sponsor it is always fitting and fair.

Season 10 ends on the last weekend of September. I will certainly insert a little pause between seasons. Stay tuned for updates
