Trivia Grand Tour Season Eight

Competition ID #: 7806
Status: Open
Submitted by: AD Phoenix Berkana
Competition dates: 2024-07-01 - 2024-11-10
Time remaining: 2 months, 27 days
Subgroup: TIE Corps
Units involved: TIE Corps
Description: Each week on Monday evening (usually), Phoenix will send out a link pointing to five trivia questions for everyone to answer. The trivia questions will come from the canon Star Wars Universe. Responses are due the following Monday before Phoenix releases the next set of questions.

Bonus questions may be sent out intermittently, either attached to a normal week or coinciding with a holiday or special event. Answering these questions will count towards the participation rewards, but not the weekly/monthly/overall awards.

== Point System ==

It's pretty mathy, but the formula is:

# Correct + (5 / Time in Seconds) * 1.5

The intent is for all players to earn points based on how many correct answers they provided and the amount of time it took to provide those answers while still providing the most points for players that provide all five correct answers.

Example: If GN Frown answered all five questions correctly in 45 seconds, he'd earn 5.167 points that week. If LC Tempest answered two questions correctly in 35 seconds, he'd earn 2.214 points that week.

For any participant that has access to more than one database PIN, uses both to access the trivia and the second entry has a significantly quicker time than the first, the second entry will not be eligible for any time-related scoring bonuses.


== Weekly Awards ==

First place weekly from the Corps - IS-SR

Second place weekly from the Corps - IS-BR


== Monthly Awards ==

First place monthly from the Corps - IS-GR

Second place monthly from the Corps - IS-SR

Third place monthly from the Corps - IS-BR


== End of Season Awards ==

Note: For the End of Season awards, each player's average will be the sum of their best 19 weeks, meaning that their lowest two weekly scores will be dropped.
