You decide the outcome of the Team Event!

 

For the first time in the history of the Totallympics International Contest, your choice will impact the final outcome of the Team Event. Before each Session, one user will have the option to pick a "Portada de la Feria" and a color that will determine the competition system of the Session.

 

The first pannel is composed of six "portadas". 

 

"La portada de la feria de Sevilla" refers to the main entrance or gateway structure that is erected each year at the entrance to the Feria de Abril (April Fair) in Sevilla. The Feria de Abril is a week-long celebration that typically takes place two weeks after the Easter holiday.   The design of the portada changes every year, but it typically features a large, ornate archway adorned with colorful decorations, lights, and floral arrangements. The portada serves as the main entrance to the fairgrounds and is a popular spot for visitors to take photos and gather before entering the fair.   The design of the portada is often kept secret until it is unveiled to the public on the first day of the Feria de Abril. Each year, the portada is an important symbol of the fair and represents the spirit and traditions of the Andalusian people.

Behind a portada is hidden one of these Ranking Methods that will determine how many and which nations will score points for their teams during the session. The amount of points obtained by a nation depends on their position in the scoreboard of the session, according to the table below:

 

• Top3 combined
• Top4 combined
• Highest and lowest team member
• 2nd and 3rd highest team member
• Last team member only
• Highest team member only

 

There are 6 options and only 4 sessions, which means that 2 of them will not be used during the event!

 

RANKING METHOD - WHAT IS HIDDEN BEHIND "LA PORTADA DE LA FERIA"?

 

In addition to the Ranking Method, the teams can also obtain points through the Bonus Method. Each session there will be a different collective goal:

• Most points scored from a single jury
• Highest streak of juries giving at least 8 points to the team
• Highest number of votes (vote = appearance in the scoreboard)
• Collusion (the nation that has given the most points to teammates during the Session) - In case this bonus appears in Sessions 1 or 3, Sweden or Denmark will not be eligible to avoid having 2 nations of the same team voting.

 

BONUS POINTS METHOD - PICK A COLOR
PURPLE (Violeta)	GREEN (Verde)
BLUE (Azul)	ORANGE (Naranja)

 

The points assigned to each nation according to the Ranking Method is as follows. In case of a tie between two nations, the general tie-breakers procedures will be applied and if it's not possible to break the tie, then both teams will get the highest position:

 

Ranking	Points
1	70
2	66
3	62
4	58
5	54
6	50
7	46
8	42

30	9
31	8
32	7
33	6
34	5
35	4
36	3
37	2

The points assigned to each team according to the Bonus Points Method is as follows. In case of a tie, both teams will receive the highest position:

 

Ranking	Points
1	30
2	15
3	5

As usual, the table including what's behind each cell of the table will be sent to a neutral third party before the start of the event. In case you have any doubt or want to change something to have a more balanced format, please let me know. Good luck!
