Oh shoot... right you are
I've been slightly bugging out answering questions, I haven't had enough time to get the information straight in my own head.

Edited by: QwaarJet on 17/11/2006 01:50:16 LeMonde, will there be any more groups added? I know there were a few alliances that signed up but didn't get in, I assume due to the 40 alliance limit.

This WILL be on Kali right? (IE with the new BS's / BC's and HP boosts) Just asking since December 1st is almost exactly 2 weeks away. Is Kali going to make it in time, and get past all the inital bumps and burps that moving it to Tranquility ussually creates?
Just asking as knowing what Eve version we will be competing on is very important to our strategy and ship setups (or anyone else's for that matter). -----

Seems a little odd to have two of the last tournament's top-4 in the same group. Ah well, just makes for more good fights ----------------------------------------

I'm cencerely hoping that Kali will be out before the tournament, and right now it seems to be on schedule to be released on the 28th (as far as I know).
If something does come up which delays the release, we will simply have to put up with it and play the first or both weekends in the current version. Kali has been delayed quite a lot, and when the date for the tournament was decided back in August we never really considered this possibility. Hopefully Kali will be released on the 28th though, and we will have a smooth patch day and an enjoyable tournament a few days later.

Are these the FINAL pairings?
because we submitted our Team before the deadline(not by much) but still before.
And IRON is not on the pairings list.

As long as all of the alliances pay their deposit before the 20th, yes. Four alliances are queued up to take the place of those who don't pay, if they don't pay.

Edited by: Bane Lord on 17/11/2006 04:42:50 What happened to: "A total of 64 alliances will be allowed to enter."?
if there are 4 other alliances in the queue what's wrong with creating a new pairing?
EDIT: I know you really had to jump through hoops to make this thing happen, but why extend the signup period, so that an alliance can get its hopes up only to say "no" to them?

Originally we intended to allow 64 alliances. However, it soon became quite clear we wouldn't reach that number so it was dropped down to 40, just like last time. The extended time was to fill up four open slots we had in the tournament. Filling them up only took a few hours, and after that anybody who signed up was simply too late. This may seem a bit harsh, but having 43 or 44 alliances makes it a lot harder for us to balance it out to a fair tournament, without changing it around completely (swiss rounds would be best here, which increases the total number of matches to an unmanageable number).

So, the next logical question is...
What can the 4 queued alliances do to ensure that, should the spaces be, opened up they could participate?

Make sure their members list are sent in, and wait till the 20th.

IVY League also entered a team on the first day of the sign up. I am disappointed that we are not on the list. Should I send the ISK to LeMonde? I have not received any word from any race official.

I see we have 5 team qualifier groups instead of the orginal 4 teams that was planned. Is there still only one team advancing per qualifier bracket?

Doubt it :
64 entrants > 16 groups of 4 teams ea., 1 qualifier per group, 16 qualifiers total.
40 entrants > 8 groups of 5 teams ea., 2 qualifiers per group, 16 qualifiers total.
Unless CCP chose to halve the number of matches in the knockout stage, look forward to having 2 qualifiers per group.

I'm so gutted that our entry went missing. I bet BoB aka MC aka Devs were so afraid of our entry that they made it go "missing". Because I'm the uber carebear I can't even get rid off my frustration by killing some random people.

The last tourney had the same amount of groups as now. 40 teams, 8 groups, 5 teams each, 2 qualifiers & 8 knockout matches before the quaters. 80 matches over 5 days & 15 matches on the last day. 95 matches.
This time, you asked for 64 teams 4 per group, 96 matches over 5 days providing 16 qualifiers for the knockout phase, then the 15 for the final. 111 matches.
What you've now stated is.. 80 matches over 5 days & 7 matches on the last day. 87 matches. 8 less than last tourney & 24 less than your initially hinted at.
Whatever happened to improving on successes of the past?

Hello, few questions:
Are Large 'accomodation' and Quad Lif MWD considered T1 and are they allowed into tournament? Also we can use COSMOS items as far as I've read.
HERE: T2 Battle cruiser ......................................................8 Tier 2 Battle cruiser.................................................8 Tier 1 Battle cruiser.................................................7 T2 Cruiser ................................................................7 Tech 1 Tier 1 Battle cruiser ....................................6
Is not the same Tier 1 Battle Cruiser with Tech 1 Tier 1 Battle Cruiser ? Please explain as we need to know which category brutix is.
Others: - how many sec. you can stay before fight start ? - are you allowed to activate modules and target before engadging in freeze time round? - can you reload ammo before round start? - what happend with cargos after battle ? - ships lost we replace right? - where we should have all ships before starting tournament, is thre a location or GM will move all ships and stuff to a tournament station?
This is first for us so we need to know some details some of you thing minor, so don't come with wise answer, only if you can help.

1. Both of those modules are allowed. 2. The Brutix is a Tier 1 battlecruiser, and costs 7 points. The document has an error in it which will be corrected, along with others, in the updated rules document. 3. When the fight starts, an ECM burst will be fired that will break the lock of all contestants. After its fired you can start fighting. 4. Cargo containers/wrecks will be cleared out of the arena after each battle. Contestants may have time to collect loot, but I wouldn't count on it. 5. You lose the ships you use, and they will not be replaced. 6. Be ready in a station inside the ship you are competing in. Don't forget ammo or drones as you will not be sent back to get them. When your name is called for in the tournament channel (details sent to all contestants next week) your team must respond with your team status. Teams must be ready 30 minutes before their fight is scheduled to start. Late comers may miss their match, which voids the entry fee.

Can you let us know when the corrected rules will be out? Especially because I'm still unclear on whether there are still errors in the points per ship - which will affect planning, obviously.
Thanks!

Also I know this has been addressed but I can not even try hard enough to stress the importance of knowing at least a week ahead of time whether we will be fighting on the current RMR or the upcomming Revelations.
This is absolutely crucial to know for any alliance to try to figure out what setups they will be running. As you pointed out LeMonde - we must be in our ships and all setup and ready to go 30 minutes ahead of time. Therefore it would be really nice knowing whether we should plan on flying a tier 3 BS or tier 2 BC for our first match, or whether we should plan on the RMR varients. That way we have the time to buy the ships and gear as according to our schedule. I sure as hell dont want to find out the day before my first match that Kali got delayed (or unexpectedly released) and then have to go fly all around trying to get the ship / mods that I need (No im not BoB and am not uber rich and do not have t2 mods overflowing out of my hangars thank you very much). -----

Another question:
Are deadspace items allowed?
Like corpum, core?
or only cosmos like 'meditation' armor?
Officer and faction I've understood aren't.

Rules say faction/deadspace modules are not allowed. Officer mods fit under the Faction part of that.
