- Jobbing for jobbers
- Jobbing for jobbers must be done long way - via the Manage jobbers button from Navigation duty station. From there before clicking on hire jobbers checkbox the officer in charge must Take Charge and write the following message to statement: Blue Barnacles pilly competition! Come help me beat the evil competitors. Job for team ''yourteamname''.
- Crewmembers can help out if they have the time.
- Strictly no calls for All Aboard! This can ruin the jobbing equality.
- You may start jobbing before the actual competition start, to fill up the vessel so you an set sail at right time.
- Seting sail
- Before the Thursday Captain and other officers will arrange the time of start of the competition. Anyone wishing to take part can say when would be the best time for them to start as the competition will run for 1.5 hours.
- There is no rule when to set sail. Who is first is first, no complaints on that. It all depends on your skills and how many jobbers you need.
Scoring
Scoring system is pretty simple. All battles that have been started in the 1.5 hours of competition. This means if you get into battle on last minute it will count towards score.
- Every win you have will give you +1 to your score.
- Every loss you have will give you -1 to your score.
Winner will be the one with highest score ofcourse. The lucky winner will be also greeted with nice reward. Mind though this reward will be from the Price fund. More competitors, bigger the prize.
