Nef,
I hope this makes sense.
Why can we not have several categories by squad size then by Axis or Allied?
Squad Sizes:
4 - 6 Axis
4 - 6 Allied
7 - 11 Axis
7 - 11 Allied
12 - 21 Axis
12 - 21 Allied
You register your squad at the beginning of the year for one category. You have essentially committed to that number for the year. Example, you register the Blue Barons in the 7 - 10 category Axis for the year. You may participate in any category, on either side, but lack of consistency will kill your score.
Now, events conspire to shrink your squad size for several months.
Cumulative score would only count in the category that your squad has the numbers for and participates in. If you fly 7 - 10 for 6 months Axis and then fly 4 - 6 for the remaining 6 months Allied, your scoring would only apply to the categories that you had the numbers for and participated in; no carry over. No splitting number as well. If the majority of your squad is flying Axis and a few are fly Allied, then Allied score will not count in the category that will be scored. Those guys are flying for nothing. A split where half are Axis and half are Allied would not be scored at all.
If a squad manages to maintain their numbers and not go over for the year then it is more likely that their cumulative overall score will be better because they maintained their minimum numbers in that category throughout the year.
Essentially, if you don't keep your minimum number up, you efforts will have been for not in that category. Score is not transferable from one category to the next. If your number decrease, you essentially start over in whatever category you step down to.
Awards would be given based on the categories;
4 - 6 Axis High Score
4 - 6 Allied High Score
7 - 11 Axis High Score
7 - 11 Allied High Score
12 - 21 Axis High Score
12 - 21 Allied High Score
Highest Scoring Squad for 2017
Highest Scoring Axis pilot
Highest Scoring Allied pilot
2nd place Axis
2nd place Allied
3rd place Axis
3rd place Allied
This process is fair to all based on what your squad has committed to for the CC season.
