Outcome
The Contest takes place in the form of a mock championship tournament. Outcomes will be determined after the end of the Championship Period. The outcome of each matchup between two aircraft types on the Bracket (a "Game") will be determined by total DG Pilot sales amounts of all models of aircraft of that type or set of types in any scale during the Championship Period. Sales figures accumulated for models sold include the following manufacturers: Aeroclassics, Daron WWT, GeminiJets, Herpa Wings, Inflight200, JC Wings, NG Models, and Phoenix Models. No match or sporting event is actually played to determine the outcome of a Game. Ties in sales totals during the Championship Period will be resolved by total sales figures over the 12 months preceding the beginning of the Championship Period. Ties in total sales figures over the preceding 12 months will be resolved with a coin flip. Sales totals include special orders and pre-orders. The set of the outcomes of all Games as listed on the Bracket constitutes the championship outcome (the "Results").
-
Scoring
Scoring will take place after the end of the Championship Period. All entries will be scored against the Results. Entries earn points for correctly predicting the outcome of each Game. The set of all Games at the same level of the Bracket constitutes a Round. Entries are awarded increasing numbers of points for Games in each successive round: one (1) point for a Game in the Soaring Sixteen round, two (2) points for a Game in the Elevated Eight round, three (3) points for a Game in the Flying Four round, four (4) points for a Game in the Semifinals round, and five (5) points for the Game in the Championship round. The aircraft type of the outcome of the Game in the Championship round is the Champion. The Bracket with the greatest total points awarded is the Winning Entry, unless a tie occurs. In the event of multiple Brackets with an equal score, the Bracket which predicted the Champion to have progressed the furthest through the rounds of the Bracket is the Winning Entry, unless a tie occurs. In the event of another tie, the Winning Entry will be chosen through random drawing between the tied entries. The submitter of the Winning Entry is the Winner. The Winner will be notified at the email address used to submit his or her entry.
