Congratulations to the winners and all participants. I wish I had more prizes to award because so many made valuable contributions and so much was learned from flying with you guys.

 

Here are the results for the Early Birds July sessions:

 

1st Prize: Burning Beard

2nd Prize: von Baur

3rd Prize: Dudley

 

Honorable mentions:

 

Vasco (for the great campaign missions you developed and contributed for our enjoyment)

sitting duck (for "middle man" hosting and your tireless efforts in setting up new players)

Axgrinder (for attending each and every July session)

 

I'll be contacting the winners soon by PM to get mailing addresses.

 

If anyone wants to contribute prizes for future month long events, please contact me.

Just a few words about scoring, and remember, this is skewed towards participation, then performance.

 

On each Sunday, each pilot that shows up and flys receives 10 points.

 

Every time I noticed an outstanding event from someone, I awarded 1 extra point. This could range from excellent formation flying, to helping out a wingman, or really anything positive.

 

Every time I noticed a negative event from someone, I removed 1 point. Some examples would be: Ignoring a flight leaders orders. Shooting at friendly planes. Disregard for mission objectives, etc.

 

So you see the importance of attending each and every session of the month. Hope to do this again in August and I'm going through my storage area to see if I can scrape up some new prizes.

 

Cheers, all
