CHIP CUP 2019 and BEYOND
As the past two years have been a bit lighter on competitions, we are switching up how the Chip Cup works. Instead of a yearly summation of points from that year, we will be taking the latest 12 competitions no matter how far back those span (well, except we are starting from the beginning of 2019). Currently we have had eight competitions since the end of 2018, so we are nearing the moment when this new system will award the Chip Cup to the points leader. Once we reach our more than 12 competitions, the first one will drop off the list (as long as it is older than a year). If this results in a change at the top of the Chip Cup points rankings, the new leader will "gain control" of the Chip Cup. Then we can compete for who can hold onto the Chip Cup for the longest!
(Some extra details still need to be settled on. At the moment I am thinking that the "official" date for when Cup switches hands is the first day of the month after the results for a competition have been released. This means that only one proper update happens to the ranking every month, and if several competitions end during a month, the Cup doesn't keep swapping around at every point. (I also hope we continue to release results within a month of the competition's deadline.) Additionally, competitions that are not "normal size" can be dealt on a case by case basis with regards to how to count when a competition drops off the calculations. If we ever have too many competitions in a short amount of time, we can consider going back to the old system, but I think the minimum 12-month clause should result in a similar system.)
But this begs the question, what does the current leader board look like? To answer that someone needs to make a summary of these past competitions... this really is a job for a proper spread sheet, but I figured it's just eight competitions so I'll throw it together here:
