- | ==== HOW DO I WIN? ==== | + | Get out and play Ingress as much as you can during the weeks involved, and upload your stats to The Grid! There are lots of different categories which are won separately. The categories are not simple like “resonators destroyed” they are complex formulas and combinations of stats, and even some fun categories. We have added new formulas, which we keep a secret until after the event, so everyone has a chance to win, and players cannot game the system. Rules are being finalised and will be released in early March. |

+ | |||
+ | ==== WHAT ARE THE RULES? ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | -ONLY Smurfs are allowed to participate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -The Event takes place in 2 different | ||
+ | |||
+ | Week 1 starts Monday 29. March 2021 - 00:00 UTC and ends Sunday 04. April 2021 - 23:59 UTC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Week 2 starts Monday 12. April 2021 - 00:00 UTC and ends Sunday 18. April 2021 - 23:59 UTC. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each week is measured separately and the better result for each category counts. If you just want to play one week, that is also possible! | ||
+ | |||
+ | -We use the APP The Grid | ||
+ | |||
+ | Android-Download: | ||
+ | |||
+ | iOS-Download: | ||
+ | |||
+ | How to use The Grid: [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Your Telegram account must be connected to TheGrid Telegram Bot! | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Registered users of The Grid have to opt in to the Smurf The Earth 2021 group by clicking the join button on the group. This is important, because if you don't join the group, you can’t participate and your score will not be counted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -The Time of the event, and therefore significant for all the participants, | ||
+ | |||
+ | -Submit your starting-stats on Monday 0:00 UTC at the earliest. (If you start your week on Tuesday or Sunday does not matter.) | ||
+ | |||
+ | -The ending-stats must be submitted before Sunday 23:59 UTC at the very latest. (If you go to bed at e.g. 21:00 UTC you submit then.) You can upload as often you want to between these dates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -The categories will be calculated from the stats-differences. The uploaded statistics must be shared from the All Time view of your scanner to The Grid. The formulas for the calculation of the different categories will remain secret until the winners are announced. That makes it more interesting and nobody can play just for one goal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | -The Orga-Team will be the only judge if there are any quarrels. All decisions are final. | ||
