SWC 2019 Rules

Wow! This is exciting! Double points will definitely give me more incentive to participate more.

I do have a question about Champ Defence (even though I'll never get it, haha).
Let's say Beccah has 500 and is defending against me who has 300 points.
In the upcoming competition I come first for 100 points and Beccah comes second for 90 points.
Total is Beccah 590 and me 400. How do you mean the rank switches?

I was wondering this too

Also, I don't understand the chance of these things happening. Will there be 3 out of 5 possibilities active for every SWC week? Just different combinations each time?

It’s a challenge to the current champion. So, if it comes up, the champ must finish above their nearest rival (points wise) in order to maintain their title

In terms of the rarity, more often than not, you will see a normal competition with no special rules. On rare occasion, one or up to three of these may roll and be added to the rules of the upcoming competition. So yes, it can be 1 of the 5, or up to 3 of the 5 if the stars align

Ah okay, that makes more sense to me now. I'm not very thrilled about the champ defence option, I was actually happy I could sit back and enjoy the crown for the season
Do I understand it correctly that I could lose my cup immediately? It was hard work for 3 months in a row...
I like the other ones, though I don't really see the need for them.

Again, they'll be rare This won't be a weekly thing - so to see a champ defence round will be kinda like a 'wow' thing
