Community Competition Template

Post by Tod1d »

Use this template (if you like) to create a topic for a community competition.
I used underscores to indicate the parts to replace with your content. You can double-click & select the entire word/phrase.
For Special requirements, just deleted the ones you don't want to use.

I've included all of the rules & requirements that I've seen so far in community comps & official comps.
These are just guidelines. If you have other ideas let us know & we'll let you know if it's possible to accommodate them in the scoresheet.
Try not to get carried away & use too many requirements. Overly complicated competitions may not attract as many participants.

To copy with formatting, use the "Quote" button to the right. Copy/Paste the contents below (everything below the dashed line) to your new topic.

Regarding the scoring options. Many ideas for "normalizing" scores, making animals with different score ranges comparable, have arisen.
At UHC we can handle the following types of normalizing:

CSS
  • CSS was developed by EW to allow players to compete while hunting together in Multi-Player.

    CSS = (Score - Min_Score) / (Max_Score - Min_Score) * 100 * Species_Multiplier

    Score = the submitted animal's score
    Min_Score = the minimum possible score for that species (From the CSS wiki page)
    Max_Score = The maximum possible score for that species
    Species_Multiplier = A multiplier to adjust for how difficult different species are to hunt.
Normalized (Using min/max possible score) (Preferred Method)
  • This is the same as CSS, but without the multiplier
    NORM1 = (Score - Min_Score) / (Max_Score - Min_Score) * 100
Normalized (Using Max possible & 0)
  • Same as NORM1, but using 0 instead of Min_Score
    NORM2 = Score / Max_Score * 100
Adjusted (multiplier(s))
  • This method just uses simple multipliers to adjust individual scores.
    ADJ = Score * Multiplier
    Example: TOTAL_SCORE = Whitetail_Score + (Pheasant_Score * 7)

Great Template . Good work Tod .

I interrogated myself a lot , before coming up with hosted comps , on what i needed to put as for infos , to be the most complete and clear possible.
I thought : What will be the most common thing to come up after the OP is there ? Answer : Questions !
Yes, many Qs will be asked . So i said , ok, lets do this infos by means of Qs . So i tried to come up with all the Qs possible , that the players could think of .

So i did my '' Perfect Rock '' comp that way and i did not get one Q yet . Looks to be all clear for all participants . Pretty much all is there .
All future comps for me are going to be like that and i would not mind at all, if other host / players would use the same pattern .
I would be even flattered .

The Q&A is a good way to make sure you've covered everything.
I would still like to see the important stuff summarized at the top though (description, species, reserve, weapons, scoring, additional requirements).
Then the Q&A below to clarify the rules in detail.
