Fly Straight Down the Middle - 2026
Pitch
Do you feel that you are just an average pilot? Do you struggle to ever get on the top of a leader board in a competition? Are you so average that you can’t even get the lowest score in TIE Golf? Then this competition is right for you. In this competition you are not shooting to have the highest score like in TIE Corps in Battle, or even the Lowest score like in TIE Golf, you are shooting to be AVERAGE.
How it Works
A different free mission will be assigned each week and to participate all you need to do is fly the missions by the end of Friday, EH Time, each week. You may fly the mission any way you like, on Easy, on Medium, on Hard, with full cheats, some cheats, or no cheats at all, the choice is yours (Note: Infinite Waves is not allowed in XvT/BoP as that will result in a BSF score of 0).
At the end of each week all the submitted scores will be AVERAGED and the pilots who scored the closest to the AVERAGE will win.
Then at the end of the month all the entries will be AVERAGED and the pilots with their AVERAGE score closest to the monthly group AVERAGE will win. Also, all who participate in all the missions will be awarded an ORA.
And finally, at the end of the competition, all the entries from all 17 weeks will be AVERAGED and the pilots with their AVERAGE score closest to the group AVERAGE will win. And any who participate in at least 15 missions will also be awarded 2 ORAs.
