I'll try and answer any questions I see a lot here, but some to start.
Didn't you say that the top 16 would be able to buy in last year? Yes, I did originally when we made the announcement shuffling places around. Unfortunately, we couldn't actually separate out the places to give us a clear 15th and 16th place, so we've had to take it back to Top 14.
This is a different sign up form to normal! That's not a question, but yes, it is. We had some issues with the normal form this year, but now at least I don't need to chase up executors to ask more questions as you can submit them with your entry.

Sad to see you aren't allowing 3 of a ship, that makes for much better matches in my opinion. |

Deploying cargo containers, anchorable items, upwell structures or mobile structures into space is NOT allowed. Dropping regular jettison containers is allowed.
Can we please take a minute and appreciate this one rule?
I have highlighted my favorite rule.
Why is CCP banning people from dropping a citadel in the arena? It takes 24 hours to come online anyways lol.
If someone wants to being an indy or something to drop a medium, let them. It would be funny to see. |

Anchor it on the first weekend, come back the second weekend and it's done. Also, collision with the structure is a thing when you're trying to fly around the arena.

Edit: Can I ask a serious question that has always puzzled me: Why are unused points always given to the opponents at the start of the match? Surely by fielding fewer than 100 points you are already hindering your team, why also give the other side these points?
I can't answer for sure, but I would bet its to keep a team from fielding 10 fast frigates, taking out one enemy ship and then playing keep away for the remaining time limits

So .. Bob can participate, right?

I like these rules on the whole - they'll certainly shake up the meta a lot, which can only be a good thing. Some of the decisions seem a bit strange (why are T3 cruisers more expensive now that tinkers are effectively banned?), and I think that continuing to allow AT ships to be fielded at the same points cost as their T2 counterparts gives an unreasonably large advantage to teams that have deep pockets or have already been successful enough in past tournaments to have stockpiles of their own. However, I'm looking forward to it! |

Also, because doubleposting is cool - will we be getting tournament practice units again, or a dedicated server to train on? |

Why cutting amount of fielded ships per team? Either you can handle internal practices, or you cant. 20 or 24 ppl don`t really make any difference. |

iirc Nulli broke it once.
...
Once.
Can I get some clarification on points? Do Support Cruisers include EWAR cruisers like Blackbird or does this category still only include the T1 logi cruisers?
Command Destroyers cost too much. They are not worth 6 pts, especially when T1 cruisers are now 5. That's like saying CDs are stronger than Caracals. IMO they should be swapped.

Is there a valid reason for making T3 cruisers more expensive by 2 points seeing as their ability to tinker has been crippled by the cap transfer changes? |

We'll record it, but it won't be live.
For many ships, the points cost increase is due to the change to 10 pilots per team, but maintaining the same total number of points.
Cap Transfers are banned on all ships, including Logi and Flagships.

The more I look at the rules the more I think the guys who chose them brainstormed every way to make tinkers weaker, then applied all of them. More expensive T3s, make Bhaals super cheap for what they offer, ban cap transfers and banning T2 logi drones.
Concerned we're not going to see as interesting a range of setups this year, but hopefully I'll be proved wrong. The big change to last years rules and the change of numbers is spicing things up a little. |

Are we allowed to use standard containers in your cargo to have a little more space without jettisoning them? |

"Make sure that you have also sent a mail to CCP Logibro with your Passphrase by this date, otherwise your entry will not be considered valid."
May want to actually put the email there. I don't know it, can't find it, am not scouring the internet for it and you're just not important enough for me to have it memorized. Hook a brother up plz, and you may want to edit the announcement to actually include the information required to sign up.
:edit: I'll send an evemail in case you meant that. I forgot it even existed because we don't use it. |

The form itself states EVE-Mail, but that's a good point that it might be confusing if it's just mail like in the news item. I'll go back and make sure they're all consistent.
