WikiCup (WP:CUP) |
---|
The WikiCup is a championship that takes place every year on Wikipedia. The cup is played and won by skill of editing. The purpose of the cup is to encourage content improvement and make editing on Wikipedia more fun. The 2012 WikiCup began on January 1; Signups are open, and will remain open until mid-February.
The plan for the layout of the 2012 tournament is as follows (please note that points reset to zero at the end of each round):
- January 1 to February 26 – We start with one group of all contestants, with the top 64 from that group progressing. Signups will remain open until the mid-February.
- March 1 to April 28 – 64 contestants left – 8 groups of 8, the top two in each pool progressing, as well as the top 16 of all remaining users.
- May 1 to June 28 – 32 contestants left – 4 groups of 8, the top two in each pool will progress, as well as the top eight of all remaining users.
- July 1 to August 29 – 16 contestants left – 2 groups of 8, the top two in each pool will progress, as well as the top four of all remaining users.
- September 1 to October 31 – 8 contestants left – 1 group of 8, the top one will win!
