Season 5 Quarterfinals are over, so it's time to announce the entry list for Season 6.
MAcFiT Ranking Table
The table below shows the current @MAcFiT Ranking. Players highlighted with colors will either get automatic admission, or will be seeded in Round 2 or Round 1. (24 slots altogether).
There will be some changes in the order of the highlighted players as Season 5 is still in play (semifinals phase).
However, whatever happens in the upper part of the table, the lower part (no color highlight) has been now fixed and determines who needs to battle thru the Pre-qualifiers for Season 6.
Season 6 Pre-qualifiers
Wild Card
Players from position 24 () downwards will take part in pre-qualifications. One exception -
. As the highest player from
League One (after 15 rounds), who cannot get Round 2 seeding based on their @MAcFiT Ranking -
gets a Wild Card for the Round 2 of Champions League eliminations. He very narrowly got ahead of
. The Wild Card is quite precious - it means that
is already guaranteed to play in the next season. Either in Champions League (if he betters his oponent in the said Round) or in Consolation Cup (should he lose the duel in Round 2).
All players above pos. 11 will either get automatic admission into Champions League (CL Winner, CC Winner, L1 Winner + 3 highest ranked
from MACFiT Ranking table) or will start qualifiers from Round 2 and be seeded there (CL runner-up, CC runner-up + 7 players based on their MAcFiT rank).
Pre-qualifiers rules
All players listed below (and whoever else wants to join) will take part in the pre-qualifiers. They will be held over 4 days. Each player "walks alone" (simply provide your daily report as you normally do). I will collect the results, reject your worst score and sum up the remaining three.
Note: "score" is the player's
step count for the given day, divided by 1000 and rounded to the nearest integer, with 0.5 rounded up
Top 8 players will get into Round 1 of Champions League qualifiers and will be paired against seeded players there.
The next 16 players will form pairs of Round 1 of Consolation Cup qualifiers.
Bonus
Players who participate in the current season of (by
) or #poprzeczka (by
) will get a bonus. The bonus will replace their worst score from the 4 pre-qualification days.
Obviously, only if it benefits them!
The bonus will be the higher of the two:
- #poprzeczka score as of Jan 15
- The following formula, based on
Leagues (One, Two and Three) position, afer 15 rounds:
- Bonus = 48 - (12 * Ln) - Lp; where
-- Ln = League Number [1,2,3]
-- Lp = League Position [1..16]
Here's the Bonus table:
the three last players do not participate in neither of
Leagues, but have scored at least 0.5 pts in #MAcFiT Ranking.

The pre-qualifiers will be played over this coming weekend:
- D1: Friday, Jan 21
- D2: Saturday, Jan 22
- D3: Sunday, Jan 23
- D4: Monday, Jan 24
