- Each challenge consists of playing a randomly chosen Crawl race/class combo
(e.g. MiBe) based on a Crawl Unique.
The combo for each week of the competition will be announced at
00:00 UTC on the Friday starting that week. All players have one week to
finish a game using that combo. Only milestones recorded during the week (from
00:00 UTC on the start date until 00:00 UTC on the end date) will count for
scoring.
- Your first 0.33 game started on an official server during the week will count
for scoring. This is the only allowed attempt, subject to rule 3 below.
- One redo per week is allowed if your first game ended in death with player
XL < 5 (i.e., no redo once you hit XL 5). The redo game must be started after
the end of the first game (no startscumming!). The highest CSDC score of the
two games is counted towards your score.
- Each challenge has 2 optional bonus challenges in addition to the
race/class combo.
- Each challenge includes a list of gods. A point can be earned upon
reaching ****** piety (or on worship with Gozag or Xom) with one of the listed
gods. The point is lost if you ever abandon your god or are excommunicated. If
the combo for the week is a zealot background, god points are only for sticking
with the starting god. If the combo for the week is a demigod, the god point is automatically awarded.
- The season consists of 5 challenges total (i.e., 5 different combos). Each
race and background will be selected at most once during the competition.
- The final rankings will be tallied at the end of week 5 and represent the
final outcome. The player with the highest CSDC score is the champion.
- Tiebreakers are (in order): number of weekly bonus points, highest in-game
score.
- Don't play on more than one account. That misses the point.
