Setting

In the aftermath of the Great Jedi War, Clan Plagueis is fighting to regain what was lost, but the struggle is far from over. Plagueis forces have reclaimed the Transcendent, and now move to strike at the Anchorage, defeating Drax and the One Sith once and for all.

The background story for the event can be found here. Story updates will be posted on the forums weekly and linked here.

Event Details

This competition represents the third and final part of the three-part Restoration series. The events of Restoration: Ascendant will be divided into two, five event rounds each spanning two weeks. In addition, there will be a team-based Battleplan event that will run for the full duration of the competition, spanning both two week rounds.

Unlike previous rounds, this round will be primarily scored as a House vs. House event. Instead of the winning individual being featured in the next round’s fiction (as there is no next round), the event’s outcome will instead determine which of the two Plagueian Houses will be the ascendant House in ongoing Clan fiction. In addition to individual event crescent awards, the competitors with the top three individual point totals across the entire Restoration: Ascendant event will receive crescents as well.

Scoring

Placements will be awarded for the top ten entries in each individual entry event. The points available for placement in each event will be based on overall participation in each event and will then be adjusted using a modified determined by event type. Individual points for each placement spot per event will be calculated by the following formula: Total event participants up to 10 + 1 - Your Placement. So, an event with 13 participants will award 9 points for second place (10+1-2), while an event with 8 participants will award 7 points for first place (8+1-2). That total will then be adjusted by an event type modifier (3x for fiction, 2x for gaming and graphics, and 1x for trivia and puzzle). Each participant (regardless of placement) will also be awarded 5 points for participation. So, for individual events, examples of point scoring for placements is as follows:

Fiction, 1st with 7 entries: (7 + 1 - 1) * 3 + 5 = 27 points Graphics, 4th with 12 entries: (10 + 1 - 4) * 2 + 5 = 19 points

Individuals that do not place in events will still be awarded 5 participation points for their personal score and House’s overall score.

Battleplan, as a team event running for the entire duration of the Restoration: Ascendant competition, will be graded somewhat differently (but in a manner based on the individual scoring). Battleplan points will be awarded with each team receiving placement points as if it were an individual event, with the winning team receiving the top half of the placements (rounded up) and the runner up receiving the bottom half (rounded down). The event modifier for the Battelplan will be 4x given the team nature and duration of the event. Each individual member will earn points for their team’s placement in addition to the five points for participation.

This scoring system maintains the spirit of Plagueis in that what you do matters: participation matters. The modifiers and placements will also ensure that the overall competition for point accumulation remains competitive, friendly, and fun. The scoring system also ensures that the more people participate, the more competitive the scoring will be.
