P.E.R.C. Presents: Iron-Man Katie Hannon Task Force Race
Saturday, October 29th@ 8 PM EST
Hosted by Infinity P.E.R.C.

What:
The Iron-Man KHTF is a challenging race against the clock and your fellow players as part of a 3-man team. You and your teammates will fight your way through Witches and Red Caps to save the soul of Katie Hannon all the while aiming to set the best time for completion amongst all the competing teams. There will be prizes awarded to the top 3 fastest teams and the team with the fewest deaths!


When:
All PM times listed are for Saturday, October 29th and all AM times listed are for Sunday, October 30th.

The race window begins at: 8 PM Eastern / 7 PM Central / 5 PM Pacific / 1 Am BST / 2 AM CEST

The race window ends at: 10 PM Eastern / 9 PM Central /7 PM Pacific / 3 AM BST / 4 AM CEST

The deadline for submitting screenshots is: 11 PM Eastern / 10 PM Central / 8 PM Pacific / 4 AM BST / 5AM CEST

Winners of the Katie Hanon Task Force Race will be announced on global channels (TBA) and in this thread as soon as they are tabulated.

If one or more team(s) are waiting to form near the end of the race window we will assist until the queue is cleared, but no new teams will be added to the queue after the 10 PM cut-off. This means there is a possibility that a team or two may begin after the listed end of the race window. The deadline for screenshots will remain the same, no matter when your team started.

Where:
The race will take place in Croatoa. Players who are interested in participating should meet with one of the P.E.R.C. Representatives who will be waiting near the TF contact .

Who May Participate:
Heroes, Vigilantes and Rogues who are level 30+. While the Katie Hannon Task Force must be unlocked to play, A P.E.R.C. representative with access to the Task Force will be available to start it. You need not have the TF unlocked.

Players are allowed to organize their own team of 3 in advance of the event. That means yes, you and your friends can plan to come as a group! Duos and individuals will be matched with other available players present for the event by the P.E.R.C. staff, so even if you show up solo you have a chance to compete!

P.E.R.C. members (from Infinity or other servers) may compete as this is an objective contest, but will not receive inf prizes, just bragging rights.

Prizes:
To be eligible for prizes, your team will need to e-mail a screenshot* to: http://ironmankhtf.coh-perc.com/ (see below for more details).

The race prizes are as follows:

3rd Place Team: 100 Million Inf. Per Player and a Numina's Recovery/Regen
2nd Place Team: 250 Million Inf. Per Player and a Luck of the Gambler + Recharge
1st Place Team: 500 Million Inf. Per Player and a Numina's Recovery/Regen AND a Luck of the Gambler + Recharge

Team With Fewest Deaths: 250 Million Inf. Per Player


Rules & Additional Info:
1) Teams competing in the race will be limited to three (3) players maximum.
Since the TF requires 6 players to start, P.E.R.C. Reps and assistants will be present to provide enough members for a team to begin the race.

2) You must have a member of P.E.R.C. or an approved assistant on your team, as a temporary anchor.
We will only accept entries from teams that had an approved player there to verify a clean start. They will remain long enough for the TF to begin and then drop once the other anchors have quit the team.

3) You can run the TF as many times as you want during the event window.
You are allowed to switch characters and teams between races. Only a team's (and individual's) best time will be considered for judging. For example: John Doe is on the team that takes 3rd place, then switches to another team that wins 1st place. John Doe will receive 500 million inf., not 600 million. The prize for fewest deaths is exempt from this. A team can place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd and still win the prize for fewest deaths. If two or more teams tie for the fewest deaths, the team with the fastest time (of those tied) will win that prize.

4) Outside buffing is not allowed.
This means that players caught using secondary accounts or friends to buff their characters before entering a mission may be docked on time or disqualified, at the judges' discretion.

5) The team is allowed to use temporary powers (including powers like Shivans, Nukes and Vanguard HVAS).

We will be doing our best to make sure that everyone who is interested in participating in the race and present during the time window is able to compete, but due to the nature of the event we cannot guarantee everyone a spot on a team. The event coordinators will attempt to create balanced teams with a mix of archetypes, pulled from the available pool of interested players.

Screenshots:
Times will be judged using screenshots.
One player from the team will need to take a screenshot that shows the team window, the XP/Menu bar (the portion that shows TF challenge settings) and the TF completion window with the final time and number of deaths. You don't need to rename or resize the screenshot; just pull it out of your CoH Screenshots folder and attach it to an e-mail. Edited screenshots will be disqualified.

To qualify for any of the race prizes, your team must submit a screenshot to: http://ironmankhtf.coh-perc.com/
Each team should discuss who will be taking and submitting the screenshot, as this will not be done by the judges or assistants. Remember not to close your window or exit the mission until a screenshot is taken and you have verified it contains all the required information. You also need to include global names for each of the 3 teammates.

The command to make the UI visible in screenshots is: /screenshotui 1
The command to disable the UI afterwards is: /screenshotui 0


Special note: The TF window will only accurately track deaths if a Death Counter is selected as part of the TF challenge settings when the TF is formed.
The number of deaths allowed is not important and will not affect your chances of winning. This is why we need a screenshot showing the XP/Menu bar & TF challenge settings: To ensure accurate tracking!

If you have any questions about this or other event rules/details, please feel free to contact a Rep on the forums or in-game at @HercuIes
