MKPC Tournament - April/May 2017

The MKPC Tournament April/May 2017 was the fourth edition of the MKPC Tournament, however the fifth overall attempt at the tournament.

Context
There was no tournament during the month of March, in order to take a break on the calendar. Following the crisis of Jasmine’s departure, amongst may others', the candidates were fewer than in previous editions.

Format
The tournament was divided into 2 stages:


 * Group Stage: the 7 players were seeded into 2 groups (1 group of 4 players, and 1 group of 3 players). 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 qualified for the knockout stage.
 * Knockout Stage: the second stage of the tournament took the form of a single-elimination bracket, starting at the semi-finals. The 4 remaining players were seeded in a way where the winner of one group would play against the runner-up of the opposing group during the semi-finals. 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.
