Raise the Flag 2021

This competition will determine the Flagship of the TIE Corps, the TCCOM’s Escort Squadron, and TCCOM’s Wingman for the next 12 months. Any forms of activity presented by the pilots will grant points to their ships. The TIE Corps Command Staff and Emperor’s Hammer Command Staff will be participating as Avenger Squadron aboard the VSDII Aggressor. All disputes will be settled by the TIE Corps Command Staff.

The number of points awarded for each activity are as follows:

Point System

Single Player

2 points to each TIE Fighter Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
4 points to each X-Wing vs TIE Fighter Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
3 points to each X-Wing Alliance Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
5 points to each X-Wing Single Player mission flown from the TC Battle Center
10 points for every mission high score
10 points x # of missions in the battle for every battle high score

Each battle/free mission in the compendium can be flown only once throughout the month for credit in the competition. Note that battles already flown in previous months of this year are eligible to be re-flown for points in Raise the Flag, however, they will not count towards Ace of the TIE Corps competition awards.

Custom Matches in Squadrons

Modifiers are not allowed in custom matches in Squadrons for 4 or 5 players. When submitting the results of a custom match with 4 or 5 players, a screenshot showing that no modifiers were used must be included.

For 2 or 3 players, the following set of modifiers may be used:

60% raider/corvette hull (both factions)
80% capital ship hull (both factions)
80% flagship hull (both factions)

When submitting the results of a custom match with 2 or 3 players, a screenshot showing what modifiers were used (if any) must be included.

Art

1-10 points will be awarded to each written work submitted with at least 300 words. Each TCCS member will review the work, assign a score of 1-10, and the average of the scores will be multiplied by each set of 300 words in the piece. For example, a 3000 word piece scored as a 6 would be worth 60 points. 3000 / 300 = 10, 10 x 6 = 60.
1-10 points will be awarded to each graphic submitted, judged by the TCCS. Each TCCS member will review the work, assign a score of 1-10, and the average of the scores will be multiplied by 1 for pre-existing images or memes, 3 for handmade or photography entries, and 5 for anything that would've taken some time in a graphics application. For example, a handmade drawing that receives an average of 6 from the judges would be multiplied by 3 to be worth 18 points. In addition, a 20% bonus will be granted for submissions meeting one of the “official” uses that will be announced and updated as the competition continues.
1 point for every new Single Player mission or battle review submitted with at least 30 words through the database

No points

There will be no:

Points for Squadron Citations earned: all squadrons and ships must get into the competition with equal conditions, and citations might be easier for one squadron to get than for another;
FCHG/CR Rank gains points: these rank gains can be more easily achieved by one pilot than by the other, and pilots must enter the competition with equal conditions to award points
Points for IWATS/IU Courses taken, because of the current EH system not allowing the retaking of tests.
Points for Mission Creation: because Mission creation takes too long to be placed in a month long competition, and it would be difficult to see results.
