MKPC Tournament - January/February 2018

The MKPC Tournament January/February 2018 was the sixth edition of the MKPC Tournament, however the seventh overall attempt at the tournament.

Context
Even before the end of the previous edition, misterskin (who was in the process of changing his name, at that time misterskin-ryubix), decided to elect filou as organizer, in order to make him discover the world of tournaments.

Format
The tournament was divided into 2 stages:


 * Group Stage: the 12 players were seeded into 4 groups of 3 players each. Each player play once against the other players in their group. A win granted 2 points, a tie 1 point, and a loss 0 point. At the end of the group stage, the top 2 in each group qualify for the knockout stage.
 * Knockout Stage: the second stage of the tournament took the form of a single-elimination bracket, starting at the quarter-finals. The 8 remaining players were seeded in a way where the winner of one group would play against the runner-up of another group in the first round. Matches were played normally. If a tie occurred at the end of the match, a sudden death race was played. Whilst the finals match was played, a 3rd place match was also played between the 2 losing semi-finalists.

In both stages, matches were played in a 1v1 format. During a match, winning a race granted the winner 1 point. The player with the most points at the end of the time won the match.
