Novice Nimble: How Does It Work?

The Novice Nimble is based on the concept of the Country Cup competition series. To move up the rankings, you need to improve your team’s best-of-three average in each stage. It is up to you and your team members to determine the best strategy. Our engine is not doing the work for you! So you need to find out who takes on which particular challenge in the stages.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s good to assign members to specific hardware for each stage. Individuals trying to compete with all the hardware are quite likely to block other users from contributing to the team average.

To explain how the average is formed we provide you the image below. You will find three different scenarios, each explaining a specific situation for each team:

• In Scenario 1, three users from one team each submit scores with three different hardware items. The team average is based on these scores and all users are contributing. The team average is completed.
• In Scenario 2, three users from one team each submit one result. Two use the same hardware. Only the top score is used for the team average, so the team average is not complete (2/3). In order for complete the team average, one user must submit using different hardware.
• In Scenario 3, two users from one team submit respectively two and one results with two different types of hardware. In this case there are two options: in case one user has the best score with both hardware, the score of the second user is not taken into account. Then the team average requires two more submissions to complete. In case two, each user has the best score for a hardware item. In that case the team average only requires one more user with a different hardware to complete the team average.
