The Alliance Tournament is so close that I can aaalmost hear the explosions. Ok not quite that close but pretty close all the same!

We will be actively removing those alliances that try and add a GÇÿBGÇÖ or GÇÿCGÇÖ team. We want everyone to have a fair chance but stacking the deck in this manner will not be permitted. This removal will also include the main alliance if we detect anyone trying to field more than one team.
- ok, I'll be watching this tournament now.

How will this affect RvB?
As both sides of our little community plan on entering a team this year. Mangala is not FC, yet another randomly updated EVE blog.

Any ship rebalancing before the AT... please? How do you estimate chance of appearance on TQ of following things before AT starts:
1) Global ship rebalancing (like you already plan on frigates) 2) New modules (adaptive armor hardeners, fueled SBs, micro jump drive and so on) 3) Tracking disruptors disrupting missile damage |

Yes, as a result of last year's experiment and the reaction from the players we identified this as a must have. We will be streaming the qualifiers but it will be low key and simple, at this point we're not sure if there will even be commentary (thoughts?). Video Producer |

Quote:Alliance Tournament referees can now call a match null and void or declare a result if they feel a team is not competing or throwing a game. This will be entirely at the discretion of the tournament referees.
This was needed.
I get the feeling, that if you read all the rule changes CCP has made over the years, you could take a pretty accurate guess at what happened in each previous tournament.

Thank you for this. It doesn't have to be fancy. Just something so we as a community can "be there" with the competitors enjoying the event. |

Details and signups will start next week, everything will be done with notice ahead of time so just keep an eye on the dev blogs and news and you can't miss it. Video Producer |

Good changes, although the B-team rule might be tricky to enforce.
Looking forward to this AT!

The Inferno expansion will have arrived well before the tournament bringing new modules and changes with it. The blog details some of the effects on the tournament and we will address any issues that come up due to the new modules ahead of time. Obviously this does mean there's a chance of confusion as modules may be disallowed as we see their effect, we will strive to keep all teams informed of any changes.
Kadesh Priestess wrote:Also, will top 4 teams from previous AT skip pre-qualifiers (like on AT IX)?
In the past we have invited the top teams from the previous tournament directly, bypassing the qualifying stage to guarantee we have some of the best and most respected teams fighting in the final weekend. We have made the specific decision this year not to do this. All teams must go through the same process. Video Producer |

Please try to have commentators in all matches, they are really nice and fun to listen to, and add to the overall enjoyment of the AT.

This has to be a typo:
"3. All competing pilots must have been members of the alliance for which they are competing for from the date that signups close. For Alliance Tournament 10 this means that pilots must have been a member of their alliance before downtime on May, 05, 2012."
We don't even know how to sign up, and you wrote you would be announcing that next week ?

Streaming it, even without commentary, is awesome!
That said: would it be technically possible to allow 3rd parties like Eve Radio or New Eden Radio to comment (from the comfort of the commentator's own home)? So you'd send the video signal to the commentators, they rebroadcast (either to you or to the internet) with their commentary?

I love how you guys don't permit B or C teams, but then setup the tournament in such a way that you guarantee that exactly that will happen. All anyone has to do is drop their selected B and C team members out of their alliance and into an alt alliance by May 5th. Nothing CCP does or says will be able to prove that those alt alliances are alts. Nothing. You have created a system that forces you to declare something you can't really prove or to ignore it, making the rules pointless. You guys have a gift for setting up stuff so that cheating is inevitable. |

I love the Alliance Tournament, can't wait for it to start! BoxeeBox + Large Screen TV = Awesome Experience. : >
I'm also 100% in support of the new rules regarding B/C teams and throwing out matches where one team is trying to throw the result. However, I can also see that being used to troll someone. For example, all you care about is that Alliance A doesn't get to the finals, so during your match, you just self destruct. What will happen there? CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer. |

Perhaps if either station would like to do a special show and commentary we could embed their player below our video player and viewers could simply play both from the same page (choosing the audio they wanted to hear if there's more then one station)?
The neater solution of course being a flash player that had multiple audio selection. Video Producer |

Yes a typo or rather a mistake from multiple drafts, it's now been fixed in the blog and all members of a team must be in their alliance by downtime on May 5th. Video Producer |

Let's see how that works out for teams trying this.

How will this stand in relation to the proposed Micro Jump Drive module (assuming it'll make it into Inferno)? Will you allow it?

I am currently rocking a nerdboner fyi.
These rules change things enough to REALLY shake up team design, which is awesome. Loving the change to broadcasting prelims. The B team thing is going to be an enforcement headache, but I'm sure you knew that coming into this. |

There's no support for that on YouTube and I doubt we could get the time to work on the flash player to support it, sorry to get your hopes up. We're also looking into our streaming solutions this year so I really cant say anything for certain right now. Video Producer |

Since warping is not allowed within the arena it would be the case that this module would be banned. The tournament referees will make a call on this closer to the time CCP Navigator -Community Manager |
