Learnings and Thank you

Learning and Stats for next year

A few things I would like to do by next year,

• Design another balance deployment set up and mission for the event
• Change the BP scoring system – 4 points for a game won, 3 points for mission won, 2 for mission drawn, and 1 for mission loss. This will result in a spread from 10-10 (win primary and loose all other) to a maximum of 16-4.  This scoring system should reward closer games more appropriately 13-7 (draws on all tiers and won on VP).
• Attract more players J

Finally, statistics for the Primary mission so other TOs can use.

• Objectives – 7/34 games resulted in a draw
• Quarters (scoring counts full VP) – 7/34 games resulted in a draw
• KP win by 3 or more – 8/34 games resulted in a draw

Only 1 in 6 games played had a tight margin and 1 in 5 games played where players draw on the primary. 

I am happy with the distribution of draws between each of the primary missions, but I was expecting the ration of tighter games to be higher. This could be due to opposite pairing I used throughout the tournament which has the highest BP playing the lowest BP in the same W/L bracket. This method works for the first day qualifier but might not be the best on the second day in the open field.

Thank you

I would like to thank all the players that supported the first Event Horizon, NSW Northern Knights, Stewarts Trophies, Iron Halo, and The Combat Company. I would also like to thank Matt (fester) for his program, and the club in helping me set up the event.
