Notes:
Each battle/free mission in the compendium can be flown only once throughout the month for credit in the competition. Note that battles already flown in previous months of this year are eligible to be re-flown for points in Raise the Flag, however, they will not count towards Ace of the TIE Corps competition awards.

High Score bonuses are only earned once per mission / battle. A pilot does not earn more bonus points for incrementally resetting a High Score.
