The 3rd Atlantian Oceanian Championship of Curling 18th — 28th March 2009, Pacitalia Sponsored by: Acis - Innovating fuel. Fuelling innovation. Abrutina - Everyone deserves a cold one.
With eight rinks, all eight will be placed in a single pool and will play each other once during the round-robin for a total of at least seven (7) draws per rink. There will be one draw per day from the 18th to the 24th. At the conclusion of the round-robin there will be one day off; following that break day, the Page playoff will commence. Tournament structure (Your rank for the tournament corresponds to your number here.)
Page playoff structure (Ranks below correspond to the rinks' placing after the round-robin stage, not their rank for the tournament.)
Roster posting procedure Please list your skip (team captain) in bold, either with or without vital statistics. Following that you should list a lead, second, third and an alternate. The alternates only participate in the event one of the main foursome cannot play in a draw. You should also list their home curling club and in which city, town, etc. that club is located. Extra resources The Wikipedia article on curling is actually quite well done and informative. I recommend it for a basic knowledge of curling. You can also refer to past AOCC RP threads if you are unsure on the stylistic / diction aspects of writing a curling draw report. Mathematical aspects Formula that will be used =(Point value/1)1.16 + RP Bonus + Average of your playing style Playing styles ** Take-out - that being your strategy is simply to knock the opponent's rocks with no care for how your rocks are thrown or placed. Result: Closer score ** Neutral - normal curling. Placing rocks in strategic points but also using rocks just to take out an opponent's, regardless of whether it sticks on the house. Result: Average 2 to 3 point win or loss ** Strategic - defensive play, and purely playing strategically, using rocks only to score and not to "attack" as in the take-out style. Result: Average 2 to 5 point win or loss Each team will get "points" to spend. You can divide your points -- in this tournament everyone will get six -- among the three playing styles. If you want a fully attacking style for your team, you would choose 4-2-0 (Take-Out/Neutral/Strategic), 5-1-0 or 6-0-0. If you want a balanced attack, you would choose 3-3-0, 3-2-1 or 2-2-2. A more defensive style of play would use a 0-2-4 to 0-0-6 point distribution. Then, your point distribution will be averaged and placed in the scorination formula. RP bonus ** Good RP - 5 points ** Average RP - 3 points ** Not so good RP - 1 point ** No RP - 0 points I will also be giving bonus if you RP. A good RP constitutes not just length (though that is a sign of effort in most cases) but also effective writing. A poor RP is something like "The Losers lost today 3-0. Big surprise. Next game is versus the Winners on Thursday." You'll get the point, but you definitely won't get five. |

RP cutoff for Draw 1 is: March 18 at 10:00pm PDT (Mar. 19 @ 1:00am EDT / 5:00am GMT) Please note that, for your first post, you must have at least posted a roster to receive any RP bonus both here and subsequently. The roster may be included in your post (such as how Sarz did it). Any RPs extraneous to the roster post can also help your bonus if you don't receive the full 5 points for your original post. EDIT: To clarify, if you don't post a roster in this RP period, it doesn't preclude from receiving an RP bonus for the rest of the tournament. I just mean that in an overall sense; you cannot receive RP bonus until you post a roster. |

RP cutoff for the Page playoff quarterfinals is: March 26 at 10:00pm PDT (Mar. 27 @ 1:00am EDT / 5:00am GMT) Please note that your rinks will be given black armbands to wear out of respect for the lives lost in the Puntafora earthquake which occurred early Tuesday morning. News story: http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=587838 The tournament will continue as scheduled as Bergamo is about 1,000km north of Puntafora and therefore unaffected by the events. If your governments wish to make any statements regarding the earthquake disaster they can do so on the Jolt post. Thanks |

Fidelia and Sarzonia, the RP cutoff for the Page playoff half-final is: March 27 at 10:00pm PDT (Mar. 28 @ 1:00am EDT / 5:00am GMT) Bazalonia, as you have advanced straight to the final by winning the 1v2 playoff, you have two days to RP instead of one as I will count any RPs you make in the next ~24 hours toward the scorination for the final. You are guaranteed at least the silver medal, so congrats! And commiserations to Kry, though you did have a good tournament. |

Thank you all very much for helping make this a successful tournament without any major bumps and bruises. Hopefully next time we can up the participation from our competitors, but other than that, I think we're doing all right with making a rather obscure sport a top-tier competition in the game's best sporting region! Updated ranks for AOCC4, which I plan to do sometime this summer, are coming soon. |
