    a slight correction:

    I was mistaken when posting what will be rewarded for my Banner comp and have been corrected by OPS, thankyou. The awards will be IS-GR, IS-SR, and IS-BR, If I get enough medals to warrant a higher medal there will be a possible (not enough submissions yey! amount of submissions are average for a battlegroup at the moment ) IS-PR as this is a Fleet Wide competition ! Many thanks and apologies to those who submitted but, for those that have many thanks :)

    Status: Running

  • Any ideas for competitions can be sent to myself.  I'm always eager to hear new ideas!

WING COMPETITIONS

  • Show me your war face!
    We all do it, we can't help it, when we're deep in concentration, flying the heck out of our ships pilots are prone to pulling some pretty strange faces and that's what I want for next week. Set your webcam up to take shots of you while you're flying and send me your favourite contortions. If you can't get your cam to do this, fake it.
    IS-BR for the funniest shot, closing date: Fri 16th July

  • Each week, MAJ Thorin Oakenshield will select one battle, and the person who scores the highest score on that battle will receive an IS-SW, and the runner up will receive an IS-BW.  This is an easy way to get some medals, and promote a little bit of activity.  To participate, simply send your BSF to myself instead of your CMDR.  Pretty easy :).  He is also trying to help squadrons by selecting missions that at least some of the squadrons need flown for citations!
    The first one will start on July 9th and last until July 15th), but you're welcome to start flying for it now.  The first mission is XWA-TC#16.

  • The Wing Commander's Challenge is, simply put, a tournament, placing each pilot against other pilots on the ship.  There will be six total rounds, each round lasting a week.  At the end of each week, points will be tallied up and standings will be created.  Rounds 1, 2 and 3 will simply be random pairings against members of other squadrons.  At the end of week 3, The top scoring pilot will receive a Iron Star with Silver Wings, and the runner up will receive a Iron Star with Bronze Wings.  Rounds 4, 5, and 6 will be in the form of a single elimination system.  Each round, the winners will advance, and the losers will be dropped from the tournament.  At the end of the Tournament, the pilot with the highest accumulated points will receive an Iron Star with Silver Wings, and the Runner-Up will receive an Iron Star with Bronze Wings.  The Winner of the Tournament will also win a Iron Star with Silver Wings, and the 2nd Place winner will receive an Iron Star with Bronze Wings (there will be no double awarding though, so medals will default down the chain :->)

    Each pilot will be paired up against another pilot, who according to their pilot records, play the same game platform (preference will be XWA, XvT, TIE, in that order).  These pilots will have a mission from that platform assigned to them.  The two pilots much then get together, and decide which avenue of approach they will take.  The pilots can of course choose to each fly the mission, the player with the highest score will win the round.  HOWEVER, the players may, if they choose, decide to settle the match in a battle against each other, playing multiplayer.  In this case, the 24/7 LoCs will apply, and the winner will also receive an LoC.  The decision is up to the pilots, and when a decision can't be reached, it will default to flying the mission.  Pilots are also allowed to do a best out of three scenario, if they both agree.

    Scoring

    Every match earns points for yourself, and for your squadron.  Here is how it breaks down (whether you play SP or MP)

    If you WIN your match, you win three points for your Squadron
    If you LOOSE your match, you win one point for your Squadron.
    If a match is defaulted (that is, one player does not make an effort to play the match), the player who is trying will be awarded 2 points, and the player who is not trying will earn 0 points.

    So, as you can see, participating and loosing is better for you and your squadron then not participation.

    Squadron Points

    Now, I've mentioned Squadrons... where do they come into this ?  Simple, the SQUADRON that accumulates the most points during the challenge will earn the title of Wing Commander's Own for the next month!

    Reporting

    Once you have completed your match (be it you both fly the mission, or you fly a MP match), here is what to do:

    If you flew MP, email the results to the COO for your LoC, and then email me the results (both pilots must email the results!)

    If you flew the mission, you can fly it as many times as you would like, and when you are satisfied with your score, send the BSF to myself.

    -NOTES-
    You need to keep me comprised of all your planning throughout the week.  If you can't get ahold of your opponent after a day or two, let me know that so you don't get screwed in the end.  If you agree you're flying SP, one of you email me, CCing the other one.  Same for MP.  This way, I know what you're doing, and know whos to blame if a match isin't played.

    ROUND 4 (16 Players) (jul 23-29) (SUBMISSIONS TO *BUBBA*)
     
    Round 4 will be just like Round 3, Player's Choice, except that it will be a BATTLE, not a FREE mission, and you're playing for percentage of the battles HS compared to your HS.
     
    ROUND 5 (8 Players) (jul 30-aug 5) (SUBMISSIONS TO *BUBBA*)
     
    Round 5 will be an assigned Mission... all 8 players will fly the same mission, which will be announced the day Round 5 Starts
     
    ROUND 6 (4 Players) (aug 6-12) (SUBMISSIONS TO *THORIN)
     
    Round 6 will be an assigned Combined Arms Battle, all 4 will fly the same CAB, which will be announced the day Round 6 Starts
     
    ROUND 7 (2 Players - CHAMPIONSHIP) (aug 13-19) (SUBMISSIONS TO THORIN)
     
    Round 7 will be a best out of three.  A Free Mission, a Battle, and a CAB, all will be assigned to both players.  The player to win 2/3 or 3/3 of the scores will take the tournament.

    Elimination Info

    This part of the tournament will vary from 3 to 4 weeks, depending on participation.  The minimum will be 3 weeks, with the top 8 competing.  If 13 or more people score at least 5 points during the tournament, then it will be four weeks, with the top 12 competing (top 4 will receive a bye, byes are worth 1 point, but a win none-the-less)

    ROUND 3 PAIRINGS / ASSIGNMENT
     
    Round 3 will NOT have an assigned mission.  We'll be doing player's choice.  You can fly ANY FREE MISSION FROM ANY PLATFORM.  You will be scored based on your scores percentage of the current high score (ie if the High score is 10,000 and you get 7,000, you'll get 70% for your score).  HOWEVER, there are requirements.  You may not currently hold the high score for the Free Mission, AND the Free mission must have been completed at least 75 times (so no getting a new FREE and getting an easy HIGH SCORE).
     
    Here are your ROUND 3 PAIRINGS. (July 16-July 22) (SUBMISSIONS TO *THORIN*)
