As the name says, this event is meant to be a simplified version of Master of the Month. Attending to several players complaints about MoM complex rules I think this event can be a good option since it won't require any extra effort once you can submit the same games you used for the regular Master of Month. The premise of the event is to be cleaner and offer the results faster. Depending on the attendance, if the rules are solidifeid, a badge can be added as incentive in the future.

So those are the current rules:

- Results will be split on 5 categories:

Category A - Total Number of mastered games
Category B - Hardest game mastered (Highest game retro ratio)
Category C - Hardest achievement earned (Lowest % of earners)
Category D - Total points earned on mastered games
Category E - Total retro points earned on mastered games

- Everyone but untracked players are free to join, regardless their status.
- No other event will have influence on the results, so you don't need to be concerned about players receiving flash bonus f r o m events you are not participating.
- For categories A, D and E any set mastered this month will be counted.
- For categories B and C only sets with less than 100% completion (50% Hardcore) before month starts will be eligible to be counted as mastered for this month.
- If a tie happens the winner will be the best ranked on Category A, then Category B, then C, then D.
- For category C the achievements f r o m revisions finished in the last 6 months won't be counted.
- Event will use server's timezone, so the timestamp f r o m achievements will be the official time for this event.
- Players will have 72 hours (3rd day of the month 23:59 server time) to post their mastered games before month announcement winner is announced.
- Results will be tentatively announced within one week of month's closure on a google sheet that will be provided on the due date.

[2020 July 07 Edit]
Due to the good attendance in the first 2 months, the final standings scores will start to be calculated using a point system similar to 90's F1 point system. Each category will give the following ammount of points towards the total score:
1st - 10 points
2nd - 6 points
3rd - 4 points
4th - 3 points
5th - 2 points
6th - 1 point

[2021 February 08 Edit]
Normal points and retro points earned on the current month will start to be counted even if the game in question had more than 100% completion (50% Hardcore) before the month starts.
Before the change:
Category A -> Any mastered set is considered
Category B, C, D, and E -> Only mastered sets with less than 50% Hardcore completion are counted.
After the change:
Category A, D and E -> Any mastered set is considered
Category B and C -> Only mastered sets with less than 50% Hardcore completion are counted.

Submissions are always open for the current month.
Deadline for earning achievements: Last day of the month, 23:59 server time.
Deadline for posting: Third day of the month, 23:59 server time.
Results: Seventh day of the month, 23:59 server time.
