We have the Alliance Tournament annually for the big alliances, and we have on-site tournaments for those that choose to attend the bigger gatherings and conferences such as EVE Fanfest and EVE Vegas. For those that simply want to form a team and fight in the arenas of New Eden we have the New Eden Open.
CCP Bro has written a dev blog announcing the second New Eden Open! Head on over here to read it.
The first New Eden Open was a success, bar the fact that getting the prizes out of the way took longer than it should have. Let's make the second New Eden Open a smashing and riveting success! CCP Gargant | Community Representative | Tournament Referee |

Is the registration fee going to be paid in ISK?
If so, I do feel that this is not in line with CCPs recent actions against PLEX sellers that paid out extra money (e.g. somerblink). |

you need to sort out the drone assist mechanics .. mainly remove it entirely from the game and this will help stop domi sentry setups from being OP..
a drone rebalance would be nice to...
marauders will dominate with bastion mode in the size the arena is and the small team sizes.. Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name AB's need a buff-á like a big mass reduction ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

If the Signups are between 12 - 20 December we will need to provide the team compositions to when we signup? Or we can provide the team composition later since we don't know the rules and the teams are limited we need to carefully select the chars/players for the team and the rules could play an important role doing so?

What thought has been put into leveling the playing field as an e-sports event?
For tourney's taking place and having prizes in the Eve Universe such as the Alliance Tournament it makes sense to me to have have differences with skill points, resources and such.
However for a Tournament with real cash or if trying to build a recurrent E-sport around Eve Online game play I think it would make more sense to reduce the variables and really only have player skill and strategy affect the outcome.
As such is there any thought to having or creating a dedicated Tournament server with all max SP characters with equal access to ships and modules that are allowed by the tournament's rule set? |

No guaranteed spot for the NEO runner up team ? :peer:
Also about them prizes - money is cool and all that, but shiny ships for the victors are still a much better idea, at least from a long-term tournament team perspective.

To be clear, you're allowing a team to have a 12 character roster in a 10 man format. While I understand that you want to make the monetary prizes more meaningful, allowing only 2 alternates per team is not the way to go about it if you want teams to pretend to follow the EULA. |

Can we go with 16-18 person teams? We need a few more than 2 alternates for a 10 person team. I agree the prize pool should be more meaningful. However, 6-8 alternates would be nice so we can switch up set ups fairly quickly with bans, fill in in case someone can't make it due to RL issues, etc. "tbh most people don't care about removing local from highsec. They want it gone from nullsec. I want to be able to solo roam hunt without everyone knowing I am there without them actually seeing me jump through the gate. Effortless intel is bad." ~Me |

If I remember correctly, NEO had 8 pilots format, so it would be 8 pilots + 4 replacements for each match. |

This is correct.
There still is s bit of an issue with such low numbers. As mentioned above I believe that 16 or so would be a better number.
I missed the NEO last year, could not do the Alliance tourney this year do to the "in the alliance" change of rules and with only 4 replacements I really don't think I can participate this year since I know with absolute certainty I will not be able to be there for Valentine's weekend. (I am a gondolier, busiest day of the year for me.)
I know that CAStabouts had issues with the last tourney making sure they had sufficient players at match times do to low participant numbers for the Alliance tournament. Then again that was because about a quarter of the team was hit with the "Alliance" rule change.
Another issue is that a 12 pilot team makes fielding a team of newer players (lower SP) much more difficult. Having such a low pilot count would mean Ashina here with 100m SP would have much greater flexibility then another pilot with role a focused 25 million SP.
In addition to all of the above there is another problem, a greater one in my view. Your setting up the meta before the tourney starts and leaving teams with less flexibility to adapt. Once again I can look to the "in alliance rule change" from the last Alliance tourney and how it effected CAStabouts. The group did not have any Sentry pilots on the team since all of those pilots were barred with the rules change. End result was the inability to adapt to the meta.
Unfortunately this post is coming across as a "woe is me" whine. This is not the point. I do believe that having a few more pilots on the roster would be beneficial to the NEO. Even one more pilot would help. As I stated above it is likely that I will not be participating in any case since the Tourney runs right though one of the busiest times of work for me. |

Or maybe make EVE Esport about frigate hulls only. It is very low entry barrier and would rise the competitiveness of the sport. BALEX is recruiting -----> tinyurl.com/oscmmlv |

Also would like an answer to this question. Not knowing the rules before signups open makes it very difficult to know who you want on a team.
+1 to prior suggestions of larger than 12 people per team. 24 really is too much, but 12 is too few, especially if a team is lucky enough to make it to the finals where turnaround times are exhausting, to say the least.
What you do for yourself dies with you, what you do for others is immortal.

Also I would like to comment on team size.
As a winners of first NEO, there is some experience I would like to share about team size. 24 is really too much, for the team, but 12 is very tight. Im not saying it cannot be done, im just saying it can be limiting factor for many teams.
I would suggest CCP to change that to 14. A lot of fights and team need atleast 6 extra pilots to be ready to step in in case someone get tired or has something in RL.
