Sin Goes Golfing

Competition ID #: 2628
Status: Finished
Submitted by: HA Plif
Competition dates: 2014-09-15 - 2014-10-12
Subgroup: TIE Corps
Units involved: Sin
Description: Reviving an old classic, Sin Squadron is going TIE Golfing.

Each week on Monday, Sin CMDR Plif will announce a free mission that Sin pilots will complete for the lowest possible score. These missions will be hand-picked by Plif to ensure that the pilot has to be at least a little bit engaged in the mission, where wingmen and other friendlies won't complete the mission on their own.

Pilot files are due by the following Sunday night and should be sent to Plif at plif346@gmail.com.

The lowest score each week will earn an IS-BW! In the case of a tie for the lowest score, multiple IS-BWs will be awarded.

SCORING

A key concern with TIE Golf is the scoring, which has to be a little different than standard laserless scoring. For this competition, we're using the following formula to determine a player's score for that round:

TIE Golf Score = Mission Score + Lasers Fired x 2 + Warheads Fired x 100 - Laser Hits x 3 - Warhead Hits x 100

Basically, laser and warhead hits are zeroed out and each laser and warhead shot goes from being a deduction to adding to the score, such that every shot you fire takes you further away from the perfect 0 score.

RULES

  • Only the primary goals in each mission must be completed.

  • In-game cheats are not allowed. All missions must be flown with collisions on, limited warheads, and vulnerable craft.

  • Intentionally destroying friendly craft is not allowed.

  • Your pilot file must not show a lost player craft.

  • Calling for reinforcements is allowed, but the missions being picked won't have reinforcements anyway.

  • Flying missions on Easy difficulty is allowed and encouraged.
