Chasing Tail | Big Prizes

Post by caledonianblues »

When
Starts: Monday 23rd April 2018, 08:00 Europe/London
Finishes: Monday 30th April 2018, 08:00 Europe/London


Objectives
If the word "tail" appears in the name of the species, it's a target. In the case of deer species, non-typical variations are excluded.
  • Blacktail Deer
  • Cottontail Rabbit
  • Northern Pintail
  • White-tailed Ptarmigan
  • Whitetail Deer
The combined normalized score of all five species at the end of the competition will be your final score.


Scoring
Scoring is normalized, and based on the highest score in the competition for that species. For example, if you submit a whitetail deer scoring 150.750 and this is the highest scoring whitetail deer in the competition, you will receive a score of 100 points. If later another participant submits a whitetail deer scoring 195.450 and this becomes the highest scoring whitetail deer in the competition, they will receive a score of 100 points and your score will reduce to 77.12, since 150.750 is 77.12% of 195.450. To word it another way, the normalized score you are awarded for an animal is based on how that animal scores as a percentage of the highest score for the same species in the competition.


Enrollment - ENROLL HERE
You must be a UHC member in order to take part in this competition. To become a member, click here and follow the instructions.
If you're already a member, click here to view the competitions page, then click the "Enroll In This Competition" button next to Chasing Tail.
You must be enrolled in the competition prior to starting a hunt from which you wish to submit scores.


Scoresheet - SCORESHEET HERE
Participants must submit their competition entries using the scoresheet.
UHC recommends you use ALT-F4 to end your hunts rather than selecting "Quit" from the game menu.
Check the end date of your hunt on the hunt summary page before submitting. If the end date is 1969-1970, UHC will not accept the hunt. Wait until it fully updates.


Leaderboard - LIVE LEADERBOARD HERE
The leaderboard for this competition will be updated in real time. Please use the link above to keep track of the competition.


Prizes
Participants who place on the podium will be awarded the following prizes.

1st Place: 10,000 em$
2nd Place: 5,000 em$
3rd Place: 3,000 em$


Bonus Objectives
Each species in the competition has an optional bonus objective. If you achieve the bonus objective for a species, and at the end of the competition your animal is the highest scoring of that species with the bonus objective, you will receive a bonus prize. The bonus prizes are separate from the main podium prizes. If you place on the podium and also win a bonus prize, you will receive both. It is entirely possible however that those on the podium at the end of the competition, will not necessarily have achieved the bonus objectives.

Blacktail Deer: Killed by any arrow through the heart (other organs can be hit) from a distance of between 100 and 101 meters
Cottontail Rabbit: Killed with a single arrow (wound time does not have to be zero) whilst fleeing, from a minimum distance of 30 meters
Northern Pintail: Killed with an arrow from a traditional bow (cable-backed bow, recurve bow, heavy recurve bow or longbow)
White-tailed Ptarmigan: Killed with .22 LR ammunition fired from an un-scoped weapon from a distance greater than 150 meters
Whitetail Deer: Killed with any ethical ammunition, when the deer is in motion (not idle) from a distance of between 30 and 31 meters

The bonus prize for each species is 10,000 em$.


Trophies
Novelty high resolution trophies (unofficial trophies which do not appear on theHunter website) will be issued to all participants who finish on the podium. Special bonus trophies will be issued to participants that complete a bonus objective and have the highest scoring animal of that species.


New Species
If before or during this competition a new species is released into the EHR with "tail" in the name, it will not be included in the competition.


Airborne Shots
All birds must always be shot airborne.


Non-typical Deer
Non-typical deer are not accepted in this competition.


Equipment
The use of all equipment is permitted throughout this competition.


Attempts
Participants have 10 attempts per reserve on which any of the specified species exist. For clarification:
  • Whitehart Island
  • Logger's Point
  • Settler Creeks
  • Redfeather Falls
  • Rougarou Bayou
  • Timbergold Trails
After the competition starts, any hunt you start in any of the above reserves which lasts longer than 60 seconds, will automatically count towards your 10 attempts for that reserve. Score submissions are unlimited, which means if you change your mind at any time, you can improve on any score. Submissions can only be from your most recently completed hunt. You cannot go back and post a higher score from several hunts back.


Sandbagging
All scores must be submitted within one and one half hours / 90 minutes of the hunt in question ending.


Minimum Hunt Duration
A minimum hunt duration of 30 minutes real time applies. This means if you attempt to submit an animal harvested in a hunt shorter than 30 minutes real time, it will be rejected.


Spawn Mashing
If any participant is found to be blatantly spawn mashing, UHC reserves the right to disqualify this participant from the competition and all future competitions hosted by UHC.


Questions
Please feel free to ask on this forum thread, or send me a private message.


Errors & Bugs
If you find an error in this thread, or a bug with the competition system, please send me a private message.


I reserve the right to modify the rules and terms of this competition at any time between the date and time of this post, and the start of the competition. I also reserve the right to cancel this competition at any time.
UHC Apps and competition hosts reserve the right to disqualify any participant at their discretion for any reason, including but not limited to cheating, unsportsmanlike conduct, harassment, etc.
Discrepancies and ambiguities in the rules or scoring system will be addressed by UHC Apps or the competition host as expediently as possible.

I have modified the original post. I pushed the competition back a couple of days to avoid overlapping another competition in the calendar.
