Some time has passed since MFO, and with RFL not even quite on the horizon yet, it’s time for another SPF tournament to fill the void!
Like several other recent tournament formats (see e.g. here, here or here), we will combine magic finding (MF) and rune finding (RF) for this competition.
You can participate and run with everything from a pure MF character to a pure RF character, or anything in between really, without having to fear missing out on anything. Both rune drops and S&U drops will count towards a single overall score, and top finds in either category will provide similar improvements to your score.
QUICK FACTS
20 HOUR SETS
We run in the below two categories for 20 hours per batch, scoring items within the individual 20 hour set.
Multiple 20h sets are allowed, but a new set can only be started if the previous one is finished.
Time spent muling in GoMule does not need to be counted towards those 20h.
CATEGORIES
There will only be two categories:
ITEM SCORING
S&U score table for category 1 (Baal):
Please note that only S&Us from Baal or his wave minions qualify.
S&U score table for category 2 (everything else):
These S&U scores apply to drops from every other monster outside category 1.
Rune score table for both categories:
Rune scores apply to all rune drops, regardless of source (including chests and poppables) and whether it actually reflects rarity relations in respect of the various sources.
FYI: Notes/reasoning on categories and scoring:
REPORTING RESULTS
For each 20h batch, we will count only the five highest scoring items. That means either S&Us, runes, or any combination thereof, depending on which items score the highest.
If you ran multiple sets, you may only submit the result of one of them.
Please PM your results to me immediately after you finished running.
Example as to how a reported result should like like:
REWARDS
Eternal glory. No more, no less!
THAT'S IT!
I realize sign-up is on short notice, but hey: We’re running for 4 weeks and count drops within 20h sets, so even if you join a couple of days later, please do! There’s plenty of time to get in a good amount of running and your winning chances will be just the same.
I’m hopeful we’ll see a good amount of build/target variety and many nice drops as a result.

FYI: Notes/reasoning on categories and scoring:
I’m hoping to get players on board that are currently running Baal or planning to for various reasons (e.g. XP gain), hence a separate category and S&U scoring system for them.
S&U scoring in category 2 is a very simplified approach, chosen to avoid overcomplicating things. It does not always reflect the rarity of an item from a specific source, which may or may not influence your decision on which targets to run. However, points accurately reflect rarity for the most promising MF targets. Chances are most people will run lvl 85 areas in any case.
Rare S&U finds from Baal will provide significantly more points in relation to runes than for the second category, but then again they are still rarer after all... so I figured we'll not adjust the rune score for Baal category as high runes in all probability will end up being top 5 items in any case.
