MARIO KART

Scoring

• Mario Kart 64 will be played tournament style with a 32-person bracket.

• 16 positions belong to medical students and 16 positions belong to law students.  If there are less than 16 players from one school, those positions will be filled by the other school.  If there are more than 16 players from one school, play-in match(es) will be played to determine which players will be entered into the 32-person tournament.  For the sake of time, these play-in matches will be 4-person matches and the 2 winners from each play-in match will be entered into the tournament.

• The bracket will be set up so that 2 law school students and 2 med school students play against each other in each 4-person match, unless there are less than 16 players from a single school.  If this is the case, matches will be 2 vs 2 whenever possible.

• At the conclusion of the tournament, 6 points will be awarded to the individual champion, 3 points to the runner-up, and 1 point to the second runner-up

• A total of 10 participation points will be awarded by multiplying the fraction of players from each school by 10

 

Rules

• A total of four races will be played in each 4-person match

• Point scoring (note: not Dean’s Cup points) for each race is as follows

  • 1st place: 9 points

  • 2nd place: 6 points

  • 3rd place: 3 points

  • 4th place: 1 point

• The two players with the highest point totals in each match advance to the next round

• Each player gets to choose one course (4 players, 4 races)

• Once the final four players are determined, all four of them will play in the final match to determine the placing

• In the event of a tie, one race between the tied players only will be played to determine who moves onto the next round or earns Dean’s Cup points in the finals

• Characters will be chosen by each player

• If multiple players choose the same character, a coin flip will determine who gets first pick

• No course glitches/shortcuts are allowed.  A glitch/shortcut is a path that “goes against the spirit of the game and the intents of the course designers.”  A path that cuts off half of the course or skips a lap is considered a glitch

  • Examples of glitches: Wario stadium wall jump, Frappe Snowland spin around lap-skip, Rainbow road jump, Royal Raceway jump, other lap-skipping techniques

  • Examples of fair play: Koopa Troopa Beach jump, Yoshi Valley jump

  • If there are any questions regarding what constitutes a glitch, talk to the Mario Kart 64 tournament coordinator

• Games begin with a disc flip.  The captain of each team throws a disc in the air and one calls “same” or “different” (referring to if the discs will land right-side-up or upside-down). The team who wins the flip before the game can elect to throw or receive the disc, or can choose which endzone to defend.

• If the score is tied at the end of regulation time, there will be a sudden-death overtime period.  The first team to score wins.

 

Game Rules

• The Field: A rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep.

• Initiate Play: Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws (“pulls”) the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.

• Scoring: Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense’s end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated as described above after each score.

• Movement of the Disc: The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Once a player catches the disc, he/she must stop as soon as able and establish a pivot foot.  This foot must stay on the ground until after the disc is passed.  Thus, a player may not run with the disc. The person with the disc (“thrower”) has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower (“marker”) counts out the stall count.

• Change of Possession: When a pass in not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.

• Substitutions: Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.

• Non-contact: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.

• Fouls: When a player initiates contact on another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.

• Self-Officiating: Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.

• Time of Game:  Because daylight is limited and 2 games will be played on the competitive side, games will be played to 9 points or 1 hour (whichever comes first).  The game clock only stops for timeouts and injury timeouts.

• Timeouts: Each team is allowed one 1-minute timeout per game.  Only the player in possession of the disc may call a timeout.  Time may also be stopped if requested by a player due to injury.

• Spirit of the Game: Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play.
