Competition ID #: 3232
Status: Finished
Submitted by: COL Robert Hogan
Competition dates: 2021-01-01 - 2021-12-31
Subgroup: TIE Corps
Units involved: Sin Squadron
Description: Continuing with tradition, Sin Squadron is going TIE Golfing! Every two weeks in the report, I will announce a free mission that Sin pilots will complete for the lowest possible score. Pilot files are due at the end of the month. The lowest score 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 are required to 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.
Competition awards:
