[dundun92]

INTRO

Top Notch is a 1v1 BVR Tournament. This is all-out BVR jousting!

 

DATE AND TIME

This first edition of Top Notch will start at 2030z on January 2, 2021.

Registration ends on January 1st.

 

OBJECTIVES AND TOURNAMENT STYLE

Each match is conducted as best of three rounds. The objective is to destroy the enemy aircraft, while remaining flightworthy. Flightworthy is defined below:

1. Must clearly be able to sustain (relatively) straight and level flight for at least 30 seconds
2. Must also not be out of fuel after destroying the bandit.
3. Airframe must have AT LEAST 1 wing present (no wingless F-18s pls), if you can fly stably with one wing it is acceptable.

The competition is a knockout-style competition, with players being eliminated after loosing a 3 round match.

 

RULES

1. Aircraft types may not be changed between rounds.
2. All spawns are air spawns separated by 100-120nm.
3. The competition will be run on the Caucasus Map.
4. Fuel Tactics (indefinite running away) are not permitted.
5. Ping limit of 300 is server-enforced.
6. No AWACS will be present.
7. To keep the event running smoothly, I would ask that suggestions/questions be kept until the end of the event, unless they are relevant to/will affect the remaining rounds (e.g, concerns about excessive lag/rubber banding).
8. ECM use is not allowed
9. More Rules TBD
