what the top scores are as we go?HBFT: We are looking to update the leaderboards on a
two-times-a-week cadence at the start. We would like to post
a baseline leaderboard-set sometime today. (These
leaderboards would only cover the games from yesterday 4/1)

suggested solution does not work because tier iv lights can get
into tier 7 battles. In my opinion you should keep it simple and
exclude platoons. This will eliminate debates about what is
acceptible level of assistance by A platoon mate. But if you are
going to allow platoons you need to explicitly define acceptible
combinations. I.e. can a tier 4 lt platoon with a tier 4 med,
and play in a tier 7 match?HBFT: We definitely discussed the exclusion of platoons from
generating valid base XP scores for this competition, but there
were a few obstacles in the way that made it less than feasible to
do so. Part of Wargaming's Own is that it is a competition
that everyone enters organically just by playing. It was our
hope that this would be something exciting that people could
participate in without separating players from playing with their
friends for an entire year. That having been said, as this
competition progresses in its current format we will learn many
things about what works and doesn't work (e.g. platoons, etc.).
That way we can adjust it in the future. With regards
to the current situation, what is acceptable regarding platooning?
At the moment we are treating each situation on a
case-by-case basis. Fortunately, the leaderboards naturally
restrict the field from which we will need to keep an eye on (we
will not have to look at every single entry on the NA server, thank
goodness). Personally, as scout matchmaking provides a 3-tier
spread, I would keep my platoon tier spread within that range.
However, as I stated prior, we realize that there are players
who are a part of this competition who may not even realize it
themselves. So, when you're playing I just ask that you have
fun, compete if you want to, or just enjoy the fact that everyone
has access to some neat missions/prizes to go along with their
regular play...and know that we're not here looking to ban a bunch
of accounts for violating some contest rule. Above all,
Wargaming's Own should enrich your experience, not detract from it.
I hope that answers your question and sorry for getting
kinda preachy.

asks a question that has already been answered or is clearly
explained in the competion explaination? Will such representatuve
coddle the player and then hold their hand as they play? HBFT: If I could, I would send one of these little bunnies to
watch over each person as they played:
