Alliance Battle Contest: 5 Contests in 1!!, Starting NOW...Extended 1 week till 3/1

As the Amazon Basin marches towards owning Amatz Basin, I will be sponsoring a number of weekly contests related to gaining Kurzick Faction. The goal of these weekly contests is to add to some fun and excitement to our quest to own Amatz Basin and to encourage variety in the ways we gain Kurzick Faction.

So this week is the The Alliance Battle Contest

What: A contest to see which Basiners can get the biggest Alliance Battle win (your score - enemy score). There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes awarded for each of the 5 Alliance Battle Maps (Kaanai Canyon, Etnaran Keys, Saltspray Beach, Grenz Frontier, Ancestral Lands)

When: Starting NOW...yep right now as you are reading this...and ending on Saturday, 2/23/08 Saturday, 3/1/08 at
12pm PST / 1 pm MST / 2 pm CST / 3 pm EST / 8 pm GMT / 9 pm CET / 7 am AEDT / 9 am NZDT

CONTEST Extended 1 week to take advantage of the Double Faction AB Weekend and allow people to play on more of the 5 map rotation!

Who: Teams going for the high score may consist of AB Guild members, non-AB Guild members, heros and henchies, but prizes will only be awarded to members of the AB in-game guilds.

Judging: Players wanting their score to be considered for this contest, must post in this thread. Please post a screenshot or a link to a screenshot in this thread of your score.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I win more than one prize in this contest?
A. Yes, there is one contest for each map, so you can win up to 5 different prizes, but you can't win 2 prizes for the same map.

Q. Do you count the score at the moment your team gets 500 and wins?
A. You can count any score you can get a screenshot of...so if you win 504 to 100 then it goes up to 511 to 100, then 511 it is!

Q. Can I use a screenshot from an Alliance Battle last month?
A. No, only screenshots from battles fought between when the contest started on Monday and before it ends on Saturday should be posted. http://www.theamazonbasin.com/gw/forums/index.php?showtopic=9364
