ProBowl is Closing in!

<BOW>

Sadowans,

The Supa-Cool Proconsul and I wanted to get a bit more info out as we move closer to the extravaganza of comps! In order to get everyone pumped for a whole lot of fun and enjoyment, dissemination of Intel is required. Ready yourselves brethren, we will have a lot of fun during this excursion!

First, I have to say that seeing this event formulate front and center this year is impressive to say the least. I have to give MAJOR kudos to the ProBowl staff and how everyone has put this together. A lot of work goes into these for our enjoyment and teams! Thank you PB Staff!

After we partake in those PB ‘22 festivities, CNS will turn its attention to our own stomping grounds. Summit(s) has something cooking that is currently being developed for all of us to enjoy. What is it you ask? Well stay tuned Sadowans, we (especially me) don’t want to divulge that chunk of goodness just yet. But be at the ready!

Now on to the business at hand! We are utilizing Warden Revak K'Urr detailed info to get the word out! Who totally stole it from Slagar’s Plagueis Report…!

So here we go!

The ProBowl is a team based event celebrating its 6th year running and this year will be our first entrance into this HUGE event!

Basically, the participants will be divided into two teams, the Frog-Dogs and Rotworms, who’ll compete against each other in various competitions. That means you’ll get to work alongside many other DBers, as one, for a shot at the gold!

Overview:

Pro Bowl 2022 is a three-week, multi-event competition designed to test each and every member of the attending units. An opening event will determine which order our teams will have in a Draft-style event led by the Pro Bowl organizers. The teams will alternate their selections until the entire roster of all attending units are split between them, with equal parts of each clan ending up on each team. Once the roster is set, the teams will battle it out in a series of events spread over the course of three weeks. Events will include the standard fare of Fiction, Graphics, Gaming, and Trivia, along with some less common events designed to help test each member participating. We're aiming to provide a nicely rounded field when it comes to the competitions on offer, with nearly all of the events set for individual entrants aside from one small group fiction.

Schedule of Events:

The Pro Bowl will be running on a very similar schedule to last year, with our prologue week event starting September 26th. Then, we will have three single week rounds following that with the entire event ending October 23rd. Full week by week breakdowns are as follows:

Prologue: September 26th - October 2nd

Week One: October 3rd - October 9th

Week Two: October 10th - October 16th

Week Three: October 17th - October 23rd

Scoring:

Something that has been carried over from Pro Bowls past, is an emphasis on showing up. Every member, every entry will contribute to the overall score of each team, and lead one of them to victory. Contributions big and small up and down the roster, just like the 53 man roster of an American football team, are meaningful! This can be seen in the Pro Bowl scoring system:

Each individual will earn five points per event they participate in. Participation is defined as a valid submission for an event. Simply signing up for an event or uploading an unqualified submission will not count. You have to put in the effort in order to receive the reward. Participation will earn 5 points.

Additionally, the top three individuals in each event will earn placement modifier points. First place will earn 4 points, second place will earn 3 points, and third place will earn 2 points, and all other entries will earn 1 point. Events themselves will have modifiers based on their perceived difficulty/level of effort required. For example: the modifier for fiction will be 3, the modifier for gaming/graphics/poetry will be 2, and no modifier will be added to puzzle/trivia/flash events.

Grading formula: (Placement Score * Event Modifier) + Participation = Event Score At the end of the competition, the individual scores for all three weeks will be added up, and teams, including the Prologue Week event, will determine the victorious team.

Members will get more points for placing, but the biggest way you can contribute to your team's victory is just being active. So, to quote Theodore Roosevelt: "Get Action!"

We’re all really excited about it and can’t wait for it to kick off! Stay tuned for more details!

The top three individuals will earn crescents for the overall competition. Total scores for both.

ProBowl El Capitans

We would like to congratulate both Adept Bentre ”Drake Mallard” Stahoes and Adept Sanguinius ”Avatar of Strife” Entar who have been named as our captains! Get ready everyone, this will be a fun event and a GREAT way to meet our other brethren around the Club.

One note I would like to highlight, this is NOT a Clan vs. Clan event. This is a fun-filled event for all of us. Whatever team we are drafted to, that is who we support. Cheer for your team not your Clan. So go Frog-Dogs and Rotworms!
