Title: Re: Super Mario Kart Championships 2019 (CDM 2019) Post by Sumner21 on 05/13/19 at 00:12:44 Guys how easy is it to get to Gatwick airport from London. I see on google maps the train looks to be pretty easy, any reason flights would be $500 cheaper from there other than its a bit awkward to get to? |

Fast trains from London Bridge train station (30 - 40 mins give or take) or London Victoria has an express one that is faster. But I have used the London Bridge route before and that is quick enough. No major reason, sometimes they just have cheaper flights and prices can vary depending on the airline and if it is in a deal with your other long flight. (sometimes I got a cheaper flight from Heathrow, and I will be using London City soon). Maybe the time of the flight isn't as ideal or the fact that it has 1 runway only means if there are delays on departures you can be affected. Heathrow isn't doing much better with congestion though during peak times but just always preferred it. Take your pick. |

Title: Re: Super Mario Kart Championships 2019 (CDM 2019) Post by SMKChamp on 05/15/19 at 21:58:59 The flights to the smaller airports are cheaper sometimes because those are stopover hubs for certain airlines. The major airlines usually land you at Heathrow for international flights. |

If you wanna get in on the hotel deal, the deadline for signing up is the 31st of May. Normal registrations are open til the 30th of June, but then you have to arrange your own sleeping situation. |

Title: Re: Super Mario Kart Championships 2019 (CDM 2019) Post by Chris on 05/18/19 at 05:21:17 I have not really looked into that, so the hotel deal means we have to not do anything, it'll all get arranged for us? |

Title: Re: TIME TRIAL FORMAT CHANGE FOR CDM 2019! Post by KVD on 08/05/19 at 00:32:42 After extensive community debate, the decision has been reached to reform the Time Trial knock out stage to a ‘Last Karter Standing’ format, effective immediately for CDM 2019. The paragraphs below will outline what these changes will entail. First of all, the group stage will remain completely unaffected and will be performed in exactly the same fashion as in previous editions. The same number of people (16 to be precise) will qualify based on the same rules. The entire knock-out stage will be played in a ‘Last Karter Standing’ structure, wherein one track is randomly drawn (and taken out of the competition thereafter) per round; each round the slowest karter gets eliminated, until there is only one karter remaining to claim the gold medal. If you can count, that means the KO stage will consist of 15 rounds/tracks. In previous years the KO stage was only 8 rounds (including the 3rd place match). To make room for this extra number of rounds the breaks will be a bit shorter (or practically non-existent). The way this will be accomplished is that once the top-16 starts, every player will get a designated SNES + TV and won’t leave that seat until they are eliminated from the competition. So there won’t be any seat changing / shifting to different TVs, between rounds. This also holds for the stream TV. We will see if we can get a (ghetto) mobile cam feed for the TT stage once the player on stream is eliminated. In addition, the KO stage bonuses will also be handled a little bit differently. With the format of last year and previous years’ the players eliminated in top-16 all got the same nr of bonus points, reflecting the round at which they were all knocked out. With LKs we actually have a distinction between #16 to #5, so the bonus points will be reflecting this. Bonus points will be as follows: 1. 1000 2. 750 3. 550 4. 400 5. 363 6. 325 7. 288 8. 250 9. 231 10. 213 11. 194 12. 175 13. 156 14. 138 15. 119 16. 100 Where #8 and #16 get the same amount as players eliminated in QF and Top 16 last year respectively. When Lafungo originally proposed this format a few months back (in this topic: http://www.ffsmk.org/forum/index.php?topic=6381.0), he already outlined some of the advantages that using this sytem will bring. Just to restate: -No more issues with players walking around the room to check others' results between a set of races (which we don't have an official rule about, but people have complained about it; last year everyone could see Sami messed up on GV3 on the giant projection as an exaggerated example of this flaw in format). -It reduces variance, whilst keeping the spirit of the event (no more mass elimination from GV3, but mess up on one track and you're likely to be eliminated). -It increases the number of tracks played in KO stages (one of the major criticisms of the current format is that it's too short). A drawback will be that we will have to wait longer for ScouB to enter the results into the FFSMK database in the aftermath of the event, since the database structure currently does not support this kind of tournament structure and this was decided and announced so close to the actual event. In summary, we expect and hope that this change will bring more excitement to the TT tournament, whilst at the same time fixing some issues present with the system that was previously used. |

Unfortunately the FFSMK Twitch Channel was offline all the time, think I never pushed F5 that often :-? Did I miss anything? To my shame I have to admit I didn't check the French MB as my French is way too bad... |

Subway isnt quite around the corner from the venue and a place you will normally not go to I suspect. But the venue is downtown and should have everything you wish for. English proficiency is, depending on your definition of proficiency, between 90 and 98%. But basically 100% in stores and shops, since those who don't speak English are mostly elderly people, illiterates or migrants who are yet to learn other languages but their own. https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/netherlands-rates-highest-for-english-language-proficiency-study-finds/4101746.html |

Growing up in the mostly monolingual USA, I always found it amazing that nearly every Dutch person is at least bilingual. I studied French for a year and a half in high school and still can't understand spoken French (if French can actually qualify as my second language; I can speak and write it fairly well for someone Mississippi-born-and-raised, I suppose, and can read it okay if the vocabulary is simple... but I couldn't understand the spoken language if my life depended on it! I actually post on our French-language forum occasionally, but don't actively participate in it as I would this English forum as I'm still not fully confident in my abilities in the language) Nobody in my family has demonstrated any ability to converse in a foreign tongue. Indeed I might be the closest thing to being bilingual on either side of my family. The only multilingual people I seem to deal with around here are immigrants, mostly from Mexico/Central America (with whom I can speak very limited Spanish-- which I never formally studied) or East Asia (usually China or Vietnam). I should probably give these folks a little more credit for being able to speak to me in English so well, since they had to learn it as a second language just as I had to with French. If anyone from the Francosphere is coming to Monroe next March, je voudrais practiquer mon français avec vous! |
