Thank you Ela van Black for the donations and for planning the logistics!

Edit:
Q: Just to confirm - all ships provided, bring a blank pod?
A: Yes, all ships provided, blank pod preferred as these events usually attract smarty campers

In the event of a tie, the pilot wit the better hair gets the prize. If they are all bald, I get it ;)

Calculation method
Since zKillboard shut down their API I had to scrape the kills from the DOM. Here is the source code of the script I wrote to calculate the rewards:

System Scraper - Extracts the kills from a system, save the output to a txt file
kills.txt - The text file for this event
Killmail Scraper - Parses the text file, downloads and calculates the killmails. Outputs csv like structure, can be imported to Excel.
Excel file - After I imported the csv to Excel, I manually checked the names.


And remember, we are recruiting Blink
