Welcome to my Christmas Proficiency Competition #2
There are two categories and general participation prizes to be had.

Rules:
Anyone may enter, if you are brand new to ladder slasher this is not an issue!
You must state either 1 or 2 characters. Only prof gains from those characters will be counted.
Link your own character (if you dont know how please state your character name and i'll work it out from there)
I will be tracking all prof gained, as i have slightly better methods of tracking. Proficiency's will again be split, so damage/heal profs are counted together and all skilling profs are counted as one group.
Competition starts on 1st Dec at 20:00 GMT (this is roughly 2 days + 5 hours from this post) and closes on the 24th Dec at 11:00am GMT
Both HC and SC may participate, no bonus is given to HC.
No bonus is given for using heavy weapons (sorry rex )
Only prof gained above what you started with will count. If you have less prof than you started due to deaths you might get a wooden spoon
For late joiners (for example joining on 2nd Dec) i will update the sheet as soon as i am able, i will not include any prof gained from 1st Dec till when i input your numbers as I am tracking each person myself to ensure the numbers are correct.

How winners are decided
I will use the XML's to accurate gather your current proficiency, here is an example of one of mine: https://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/xmlChar.php?i=528638 XML data will be checked prior to event starting.
Similarly will check everyone's prof on the 24th and see how much it has changed by, The 3 largest gains in the stated prof's for both skilling and damage/heal profs will receive prizes.
For the participation, anyone who achieves 15000 prof I will send out a portion of the participation pool prize (if they have enterred, i won't track anyone who hasn't entered)
Any donations towards this should state which of the prizes they wish to contribute towards, if it's not clear i will split it in 3 and add equally to all 3. I am aiming to give 3 updates on the 9th/16th/23rd

How to Enter:
Just post in topic (no PM's please) with which characters you'd like added
For example:

Character 2: https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?c=3&i=193561&p=528638

Alternatively just give me the character names:

TEHTANK and Diglett


Prizes:


Appreciated, will be fun to see if it's more contested this year with such an awesome prize, thank you so much
due to the size of this donation i'll update this now:

Damage/Heal Prof's:
currently 19500 fg prize pool.
First Place : 10200 fg
Second Place: 5200 fg
Third place: 2700 fg
Fourth place: 200 fg
Fifth place: 200 fg
Sixth place: 200 fg
Seventh place: 200 fg
Eighth place: 200 fg
Ninth place: 200 fg
Tenth place: 200 fg

Skilling Prof's:
currently 19500 fg prize pool.
First Place : 10200 fg
Second Place: 5200 fg
Third place: 2700 fg
Fourth place: 200 fg
Fifth place: 200 fg
Sixth place: 200 fg
Seventh place: 200 fg
Eighth place: 200 fg
Ninth place: 200 fg
Tenth place: 200 fg

Participation
currently 2000 fg prize pool.
Divided equally between all people successfully reaching 10000 prof (this is hitting 4 prof from 0 prof 0%, this should take about 10 hours).
So for example if 20 players successfully get this amount of prof, i will send out 100 fg to each.

If you'd like to add to any of the prize pools, let me know, if you'd like to add to specific prizes this can be done i.e donated 2000 fg, please add equally to top 5 of both damage/healing and skilling profs.
If no information is given, i'll apply the donation equally between all 3 categories.

Ideally prizes will be sent out on the 25th Dec at some point, no promises as i might be busy, will be done by the 27th in worst case scenarios.
Keep slashing everyone and please stay on topic

Good luck to all participants and thank you Bigheaded! Happy holidays everyone.

Thanks for the entries and donations so far, i'll do a proper update on current prize pools as well as leaderboards on the 3 weekends leading up to christmas.


Also might as well post my own characters as i'll be joining in:

Forgot to mention it was intended that you can post one of each core or both on same core. All prof gained will count, so if your muter happens to slap some mobs it will count.
Have an idea in my head of how it's going to work, however making it work will be the challenge in google sheets.

So as per my characters, i skill on both and fight on both. All prof gained will be sorted automatically.
Made some headway on getting it to work automatically using google sheets to basically use the XML to give me the raw numbers and sort them automatically. Should have it working well before i need it next week
