COO REPORT #28

FROM: COO/VA Hawkins DATE SUBMITTED: 2nd April 2016

NEWS

LOC screenshots waiting to be processed: 0 LOS screenshots waiting to be processed: 0 [SALUTE] Welcome to the COO Report! * * * IMPORTANT * * * If you ignore the rest of this report, do please take a moment to read this news section. A matter arose right at the end of March in which a large number of screens were submitted that had been taken in January. It was one of those "Oh, I really must get round to submitting those - I've been putting it off for ages" situations. Unfortunately, these screens, taken in Januray, would have ended up affecting the outcomes of competitions tracking activity in March, including a change in medal positions. After lengthy discussions, it has been decided that competitions for weekly/monthly activity really should have taken place within, or very, VERY close to, that time period, and that submission 'hoarding', intentional or otherwise, should be discouraged. However, we also realised that we have no officially published guidelines saying so! As such, I will be seeking to clarify the guidelines for the submission of MP screenshots. My initial draft of these guidelines are as follows: Screenshots should be submitted within one week of the date the match was played, ideally within 24hrs. If they cannot be for what ever reason, email the COO/COOA in advance, to discuss any implications for competitons, etc. The submission of 'hoarded screens' as part of a competition is to be discouraged. The submission of screens for any competition tracking activity within a given week or month that were NOT taken during that time period will be considered cheating. Small numbers of screens taken very near time boundaries may be accepted at the discretion of the person responsible for the competition, especailly if they do not alter the final outcome significantly (no medal positions, etc). Please remember, if you are pushed for time, there are Python scripts that will allow you to automatically submit when you hit your print screen button. Dempsey is very fammiliar with this, and can offer help if required. If you have any other questions, please contact me for further details. As a club that operates on the good faith and honesty of it's members, we hope that we can all ensure that our participation in competitions is within the spirit of those competitions. If you have any suggestions on how to improve, strengthen or alter my proposed guidelines, please get in touch. STAR CONFLICT COMBAT EVENT POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND Due to a flurry of distracting duties, I have been unable to properly promote this weekend for a Combat Event for Star Conflict. As such, I have postponed the Combat Event until next weekend - Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th April. If you have already organised and flown matches this weekend, please send them to me anyway. I will use them in the event of a tie-break, and will still count as participation in the event. So, A reminder of what will go down NEXT weekend! Each match will be between two or three TC Pilots, who must form a team. Each match must be PvP, but at any Tier agreed by the pilots in competition. If there is disagreement, the lowest Tier requested will be used. To win a match, a pilot must achieve the highest Efficiency (EFF) compared with his TC opponents. Each highest EFF will be counted as a Victory for that pilot, irrespective of whether the match overall was a victory or not. You are competing against your fellow TC pilots, not everyone else. Leave that for the LoCs! The pilot with the highest number of victories will be the overall winner, and recieve a Distinguished Flying Cross. Other medals for particpation may be added if there are sufficient members taking part. No pilot may compete against an opposing pilot more than three times. After the first three match reports featuring those pilots have been recieved, no further points can be scored when competing in a team containing that pilot, even if another pilot is present. Match reports need to be made by email, to me. Reports will be recorded chronologically - so if you win against an opponent, get it emailed ASAP! Remember, once I get 3 reports on a set of players, no more results can be recorded - so reports will be on a 1st recieved, 1st recorded basis. If you are still interested, please let me know, especially about the moved date. Thanks!

COO COMPETITION RESULTS FOR MARCH 2016

This Month's Competitions: COMBAT EVENTS RESULT COO Monthly Challenge 2016: - whole TC A bit of a muddled result this time! This was an odd one. A processing error caused Battlefront and Star Conflict results to be mixed, leading to the event being changed to Mixed Platform. THEN Battlefront changed their reporting screens, removing AI kills... which made it inelligable for what had previously been it's own competition! Never the less, a Battlefront match did win out in the end!
