Welcome to WoF 2009, Team Scotland!
Teams from all over 2 globes are currently getting their act together for this year's World of Firepower event. Many of them have found it advantageous to get some team practice in before their first matches, but how much better would it be if you could work out team tactics and see how well your players function as a team with the possibility of Cash Prizes too.
To that end it is my honour and pleasure to draw your attention to:
This is the WoF Pro-Series, where teams and solo hunters can compete for cash prizes in month-long WoF-Style events which will help to raise money for the WoF Treasury (See other Sticky Thread “WoF Treasury” ). These events, in the spirit of the WoF, are free to enter and open to all.
****************************************************
We are currently almost at the end of "Run 9", but any team is welcome to join in at any point. Run 9 will finish at Midday on Tuesday 20th January, so you still have time to get an entry in for Run 9.
The last WoF Pro Series before the World of Firepower kicks off will start the very next day, Wednesday 21st Jan at Midday, and will run until the end of February, giving all team 5 weeks to accumulate thair winning total score.
So we're talking Team Hunting for Cash Prizes, Free to Enter, Open to All!
****************************************************
There are some Rules though.
Scoring: Teams must Global at least once on 5 different mobs from a set mob list, just like the WoF.
This gives 5 screenshots to submit per entry.
The winner each month will be the Team/Solo Hunter who gained the highest TT-Value of Loot from their 5 Globals combined.
There are also Cash Prizes for Second and Third.
Screenshots
must accompany each Global, and be posted in the WoF Pro Series thread for that month.
All mobs must be hunted in the LA’s specified.
Screenshots must show:
Mob and Maturity,
Team List,
Timestamp
Location
Loot
Simple enough, just hit C and P as soon as you global
If details are missed, scroll up to be sure and take another. We’ll accept partial screenies if the other parts are there too.
You can collect the required Globals in
any order; only screenshots from the corresponding month will be permitted, and all screenies have to be posted within 48 hours of the Global/HOF in order to be valid for the event.
Special Not-Complicated-At-All Team Rules:
Teams MUST be named “WPS(Team Name Here)” to be eligible. National Team names are not mandatory, but no profanity.
Teams can be any size, from 2-12. The same team must feature in all Globals.
BUT: Teams can Lose Members.
What this means: The ideal result in a WoF Pro-Series hunt would be a Team of say 4 or 5 hunters going out and getting all 5 globals in a mad two-hour hunt and sending in their screenshots for their entry. If however, the team only got 3 of the 5 globals, before 2 members ctd’ or had to go to work etc, the remaining team members can still carry on. Any Team members who feature in Earlier Submitted Globals before they left can re-join the team later to help complete the 5.
If you have entered 5 Globals but for example get a better Kingfisher on another day, you can change the entry to include it if the same team (by the rules above) was used.
What you CAN’T do is ADD NEW team members. If you want to make a new team with other avatars, it will form a NEW entry which should include all 5 globals by THAT team.
In short: As Time-Stamps are included in each Screenshot, the order of the globals is known.... the Team is anyone who was in the First Global People can not be there in later Globals, but no EXTRA people.
****************************************************
The Prizes are normally:
1500 PED: 1st Prize
600 PED: 2nd Prize
400 PED: 3rd Prize.
But in Run 8 we had a roll-over of the 3rd place prize, so in Run 9 the prizes are 1700, 700 and 500 peds respectively.
For each event, a donation will be added to the WoF Treasury by Bank NEVERDIE. The success of these events will see this increase.
Prizes will be awarded in-game.
There will be events held until the start of WoF 2009 and beyond, and results will feature on a LeaderBoard in this forum.
Thanks for reading, good luck to all!
