WHAT IS SMURF THE EARTH?

Smurf the Earth is a global competition open to all RES Ingress players. Agents compete in many different categories to see who comes out on top. The competition takes place in the last week of March 2021 and the second week of April 2021, so you have two opportunities to do your best. Stats are recorded via “The Grid” which is a res only stats tool.

Important - This is not a Niantic contest, it is organised by Resistance players for Resistance players.

WHO CAN TAKE PART? IS THIS JUST FOR EXPERTS, AP PLAYERS OR FIELD PLAYERS?
Any RES agent can take part! Old or young, new or retired! Please invite your friends to take part! Whatever your Ingress style there is a category for you, there are around 40 different categories for different play styles. Even if you’re a lazy player there’s a category for you.

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 at beginning of March.

IS THIS A SECRET? CAN I POST ABOUT THIS?
Please post about this! This is not a secret competition!!

Please use the hashtag #STE2021. We want to see your adventures and sitreps! Please remember though, we do not post screenshots of The Grid in public.

DO I GET A GRID BADGE FOR THIS? DO I GET A SCANNER MEDAL?
Everyone gets a badge on The Grid for taking part! Winners will get a cooler medal. Unfortunately we cannot provide a scanner medal, unless Niantic wants to help. Some agents might make Mission banners related to Smurf the Earth.

WHAT ABOUT PRIZES?
We will award global prizes for top places in the categories of the competition. These will include medals on The Grid and also real life swag and medals! One player will be crowned the Ultimate Champion, with an incredible secret prize! In your country, your country coordinator might also have prizes for the winners from your country.

WHAT ABOUT SWAG?
A Swag shop will be available on TheGrid Website latest 2 weeks before the event starts.
