One battle each from TIE, XvT, XWA and TFTC will be assigned monthly. Pilots will fly the battles and submit their pilot files through the database normally. The WO receives a copy of all BSFs, so neither pilot files nor BSFs need to be forwarded to the WO unless the submission gets queued in the database. In the case of a queued submission, send the pilot file to the WO.

Rounds in Season Seven will run for one month each starting from mid-month to put TCiB on a slightly different schedule from most competitions. For example, the first round is starting on the 15th of November and will end at 2359 on the 15th of December. The catch is the time zone, for which I’ll be using UTC-12 to avoid cheating anyone out of a few hours on the last day.

The pilot with the highest score each month in each platform will earn 9 points. The next highest score will earn 8, then 7, and so on. All submissions will earn at least 2 points. Any mission high scores will earn 1 bonus point and any battle high scores will earn 2 bonus points. High scores are evaluated in the order the pilot files were submitted, but both pilots will receive the bonus points if a processed high score is overtaken later by another pilot. Points will accumulate for the season for more awards and the overall top pilot will also receive the title TIE Corps Battlemaster.

The points earned by each pilot will also be added to their squadron's total and their battlegroup's total. At the end of the season, the participants from top three squadrons and the top battlegroup earn awards.
