Iron Mic' Center and Approach has been a great success, controller times have skyrocketed in the past months. Pilots are now finding more ATC and controllers are finding more pilots. Sounds like a winning combination!
As promised the Iron Mic' contest is now expanding to the tower position. Now there will be three competitions each week, one for center, approach, and now tower. The rules are the same just applied at the tower level.
This is a chance for more people to get involved in promoting their ACC/ARTCC/FIR to the VATSIM world, especially for students who can only man tower. We look forward to seeing everyone on the scopes for this friendly competition. Best of luck!
Contest Rules:
- Only tower position will be counted.
- Maximum score is 168 hours.
- Multiple controllers manning the same sector will only count as one. Example: XXX_N_TWR and XXX_S_TWR at the same facility at the same time will only count as one controller for counting purposes.
- Multiple winners are possible each week.
- Contest period is 7 days (Sunday 00:00:01Z to Saturday 23:59:59Z) or 168 hours.
- Controllers found to have an unattended connection will have their time for that session removed from the facility total.
