Competitions
The 2020 World Cup will consist of 20 individual competitions on 10 different maps, where every map has two races in a row. Each person is only allowed to run each competition once, with one account only (there will be verifications with IP adress). First run counts for the World Cup scoring.
Each competition will be open to play for 16 days from the time the competition will be uploaded. You can see on the Catching Features webpage (LINK) how long time a competition still can be played. After your first run, you are able to do reruns, but they will not count as a result for the World Cup. After the end of the 16-day period, nobody will be able to do a first run anymore.
There is no given order you have to compete on the maps, but it is recommended to follow the rule: “first uploaded, first played”.
Duration of the World Cup 2020
The World Cup will take place in April until approx. the end of June 2020. The first competition will be uploaded at the to be decided of april 2020. The plan is to upload a new competition every 2-3 days. After publishing a new competition you have 16 days to play that competition.
Scoring System
Scoring for individual World Cup 2020 (other rankings below)
For all CF WC 2020 competitions points are awarded as shown below:
1st place = 100 points
2nd place = 87 points
3rd place = 75 points
4th place = 65 points
5th place = 57 points
6th place = 52 points
7th place = 48 points
8th place = 45 points
9th place = 42 points
For places 10 – 50, points = (50 – placing +1)
i.e. 10th place = 41 points, 11th place = 40 points, etc.
until 50th place = 1 point
In the case of a tie, the tied runners each receive the same points as if they had each been placed in the highest of the tied positions. Runners who are not placed receive no points.
The overall ranking is decided as the sum of each individual race, where each competitors drops their two worst results. Competitors will hence drop the results of different races.
Example: Points for runner “xyz”: (40,52,75,3,8,100,12,6,5,15,25,27,42,45,75,23,17,18,0,100) = 688 points
The maximum points of CF WC 2020 individual ranking therefore are: 1800 points

Scoring for “best online club”:
For each race a maximum of 6 players for each club (make sure you have exactly the same team name in Catching Features!) can collect points:
% of the winner of that race = points of a runner
Sum of those points gained equals the team points.
If a club doesn’t consist of 6 runners, the missing runners scores “0” points, but the club remains in the ranking.
Thus, “more players -> more points”
i.e. player A,B,C,D,E,F,…. run for «IFK Göteborg» and they collect points each race.
IFK Göteborg ((98(A),94(B),75(C),67(D),23(E),1(F)) = 358 Total points
The overall ranking will be the sum of points gained in each of the 20 races:
i.e. IFK Göteborg(358,364,278,….,450)

Scoring for “best Newcomer in Catching Features”
If you are brand new to the game in the year 2020 you will, except for getting ranked in the normal standings, also be included in a separate standing for newcomers. In that way you can compare yourself with other newcomers.
You can gain points for the ranking in each race by the following rule:
% of the winner of that race = points of a runner
Sum of those points gained on all 20 races equals the overall ranking for Newcomers.
i.e. Runner A = (3,2,0,10,14,16,2,3,4,9,12,1,3,4,10,9,8,12,13,2)= 137 Points
