The Lieutenant Commander Du`bas Tyra Memorial Marksmanship Competition is a Military sanctioned initiative designed to increase the lethality of individual officers. Named for LtCMDR Du`bas Tyra, an Imperial officer who sacrificed himself for Imperial victory in the War for the Hosnian System, Commander Tyra's bravery in the face of death are echoed in the Competition's motto, "Never without a fight!". While individual Imperial officers may earn commemorative qualification badges, participating units can claim the coveted "Tyra Cup". Presented during or shortly after the Winter Celebration, the Cup is awarded for the Imperial Task Force with the highest combined score across all weapons categories in the preceding year. The Cup is currently held by Joint Task Force - Ruby.

Rules

General Rules

In order to earn a marksmanship level, an Imperial simply plays a game in the appropriate category and logs their time played. Whenever an Imperial has reached the point threshold for the next level, they move into the next category after verification with the approval authority. Point counts are cumulative within a category. Some levels have additional requirements that must be verified by either screenshot or corroboration from another Imperial.

General Requirements
Level Minimum Points Additional Requirements
Unqualified None None
Qualified 25 None
Sharpshooter 100 Must play at least one Star Wars title
Expert 250 Must play at least one Star Wars title and one session with another Imperial
Distinguished 500 Must play at least one Star Wars title and two sessions with other Imperials

Calculating Points

Point calculation is based on the number of hours played. One hour of a game equates to one point. Partial credit is allowed in increments of 15 minutes, which will be the minimum amount of playtime required to earn credit. 15 minutes will equal one quarter point. If a game lasts less than 15 minutes, multiple rounds may need to be played to reach the minimum.

Some activities qualify Imperials to receive a point multiplier, as described below. Multipliers are additive.

General Requirements
Activity Multiplier
Melee Activity 1.5
Playing a Star Wars Title 1.25
Playing with one other Imperial 1.5
Playing with two other Imperials 1.75
Playing with three or more Imperials 2

Recordkeeping

There is a form available for documenting games and may be used as a formatting guide for emailed submissions. Spreadsheets can also be used and submitted to the approval authority if an Imperial prefers, so long as it contains all of the required information.

Please note that this competition relies heavily on an Imperial’s honor to only report credit for games actually played and to do their best to accurately estimate the duration of those gaming sessions. Known or suspected integrity violations are extremely serious and offenders will be referred to their Chain of Command and/or ISB as appropriate.

Melee Weapons
Games in this category are ones in which a player participates in an in-person or live action fashion. These games do not normally include a game board or tokens but may include equipment, balls, or scoring areas and have clearly defined rules. This category is exempted from the additional requirements for higher level qualifications. Examples: Football, LARPs (SCA, Amtgard, etc.), Cosplay, Karate, Fencing, Tag, Hide-and-seek, etc.
Qualification Description Qualified Officers

Competition Awards

The Tyra Cup

The Tyra Cup is made of black durasteel taken from a wrecked Rebel armored vehicle, embellished with gold and rancor tusk ivory. The Cup bears the Imperial Seal on its face and is also adorned with a enameled representation of the Obsidian Crescent. Inside of the Cup is soil from the planet Hosnian. Before the cup is relinquished to a winner new each year, the Hosnian soil is placed on the world of the current holder who must then refill the Cup with Hosnian soil. In this way, the memory of Commander Tyra continues to spread across the Empire.
