Scoring for RS Scoring Sessions

For all RS TOR scoring, regardless of format, detailed comments are expected. Please see below for specific format requirements:

  • Flashpoints - 2 points, per participating RSer, per flashpoint, doubling for hard and nightmare mode. Screenshot must be submitted and include confirmation of final bosses' defeat and all participating RSers. For example, if two RSers run Esseles together on new characters, they each get 4 points. Comments should include the toon names and RS names (nicknames are fine) of all participating RSers.
  • Heroics - 1 point, per participating RSer, per heroic. Screenshot must include confirmation of final objective and all participating RSers. Comments should include the toon names and RS names (nicknames are fine) of all participating RSers.
  • Questing Together - 1 point per 30 minutes of questing together. The same player must submit timestamped screenshots showing start and end time with the submission and capturing both players. Comments should include the toon names and RS names (nicknames are fine) of all participating RSers and should also list names of specific quests completed or deeds done. Please include the length of time you quested for. Please include specifics about what was done - for example, "Character A helped Character B with quests on Belsavis. Character B leveled up from 37 to 39. Character A leveled up from 40 to 41". Together we completed quests: The Final Countdown and also got the XYZ datacron on Belsavis."
  • Guild Bank Contributions (Credits) - 1 point per 25000 credits donated.
