News

In RtF so far, The Warrior is in the lead with 2443 pts, The Challenge is next with 862, and the Hammer rounds it out with 727 pts.  Top Squads are Theta, Cyclone, then Kappa, which is a much tighter race.  Individually, it is myself, GN Pickled Yoda, then CM Aldaric, and it is also very tight. 

The MP Bonus competition is currently underway through Monday June 25.  Maybe I’ll see you in Star Conflict!

The fiction bonus competition results are in:

1st place: General John T. Clark, earning him 100 bonus points for Delta/ ISD II Hammer and a shiny Iron Star with Gold Ribbon

2nd place: Colonel Hawkins, earning him 75 bonus points for Kappa / ISD II Warrior and a shiny Iron Star with Silver Ribbon

3rd place: the Generals Elwood the Brave & Jarek La’an, earning them 50 bonus points for Delta / ISD II Hammer and Theta / ISD II Warrior plus the shiny Iron Star with Bronze Ribbon

4th place: Admiral Miles Prower and General Pickled Yoda, earning them 25 bonus points for the ISD II Hammer and Theta / ISD II Warrior

The graphics bonus competition has just concluded and is being judged.  Results will be posted soon. 

We have two promotions this week as both LT Kiba and LT Jaxx are freshly promoted!   Congratulations to you both!

The Hammer MSE just hit my desk, so awards should be out shortly.

Round 13 Assignments:

TIE-Free 269: MTT01: Inspection

XvT-Free 199: Welcome to Cyclone Squadron

XWA-Free 127: Your Final Test

BSF emails/pilot files will be due by 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern/1 am London on Monday July 2.

Rules:

It’s a new year, so this will change a little.  Every TWO weeks, there will be a free mission from each of the major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned.  Pilots will fly each mission that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward the BSF email to Pete Mitchell.  If the pilot has earned a high score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF is not approved in time. 

Each week the pilot with the highest score in each platform will earn 4 points.  The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1.  If the winning pilot in a platform also earned a high score, that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform.  Points will accumulate for the week, month, and year for more awards.

Awards:

Annual:

IS-PW/GW/SW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year.  (at least 5 participants)

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year in each platform (at least 4 participants)

Monthly:

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the month (at least 3 participants).

Weekly:

IS-SW/BW for 1^st and 2^nd total points for the week (at least 3 participants).

IS-SW/BW for 1^st and 2^nd in each platform (at least 2 participants).

TIE Corps Pilot League 2018:

Round 12 Assignments:

TIE-Free 49: Dragon #1 – Current HS = 48,398

XvT-Free 17: The Stand-Off – Current HS = 169,825

XWA-Free 21: IRC Breen – Current HS = 26,350

Rules:

This competition is similar to TIE Corps on patrol, but it is handicapped to make it accessible to more pilots.  Every TWO weeks, there will be a free mission from each of the major SP platforms (TIE, XvT, XWA) assigned.  Pilots will fly each mission that they choose and BSF the battles to the TC database and forward the BSF email to Pete Mitchell.  If the pilot has earned a high score, BSF it and also send the pilot file to Pete Mitchell in case the BSF is not approved in time. 

BSF emails/pilot files will be due by 5 pm Pacific/8 pm Eastern/1 am London on June 25.   

Each week the pilot with the highest handicap score (expressed as a % of the high score) in each platform will earn 4 points.  The next highest score will earn 3, the next highest 2, and all other submissions will earn 1.  If the winning pilot in a platform also beat the high score (without the handicap added), that pilot will earn 5 points for that platform.  It is possible for a pilot to be the only pilot to beat the high score, and not win that platform.  If for example, pilot A got 90% of the high score and has a 25% handicap for a total of 115%, and pilot B got 105% of the existing HS (and earned a new HS) with a handicap of 5% for a total of 110%, Pilot A would win the platform for the week for 4 points and pilot 3 would only earn 3 points. Points will accumulate for the week, month, and year for more awards.

Handicaps will be calculated as follows:

The average score in the platform as a percent of the high scores will be calculated as an average of all scores on that platform since the beginning of the League (avg).  The handicap will be calculated as the difference between the average and 100%.  For example, if a pilot’s average score in TIE is 75% of the HS, his handicap will be 100%-75%=25%.  If a pilot then scored 85,000 pts on a mission with an existing HS of 100,000 points, his handicap score would be 85% + 25% = 110%.

*The first round any pilot flies in any platform will not have a handicap added as the pilot will not have an average.  Therefore, the first round, there are no handicaps, only scratch scores. 

**I reserve the right to create a maximum handicap.  At this point, it is 75%. 

Awards:

Annual:

IS-PW/GW/SW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year.  (at least 5 participants)

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the year in each platform (at least 4 participants)

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd most improved averages over the year in each platform (at least 4 participants, must have flown at least 10 missions)

Monthly:

IS-GW/SW/BW for 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd total points for the month (at least 3 participants).

Weekly:

IS-SW/BW for 1^st and 2^nd total points for the week (at least 3 participants).

IS-SW/BW for 1^st and 2^nd in each platform (at least 2 participants).
