And we're not in. I'm absolutely crushed that we were denied entry because of random selection.

Agreed. We were waiting on the schedule to see if our alliance made it in, so that we could join it.
While I love CCP and love this game, the Alliance tournament is one of the things that my in game life is practically lived for, and as soon as I heard it was going to be a "draw" I was frustrated.
Whatever the reason is, it boils down to this for me. If your CEO can't do an alarm clock op to sign up, then by definition, you can't cut it as an Alliance Tournament team. Thats about the lowest level of effort needed to succeed in it.
Hitting the deadline to signup within the minute or so that it opens is a measure of the level of interest that your alliance has, imho. This random draw is going to be bad, if it was even random totally.

I hope CCP are happy with the random system. It's just shot down plenty of great teams.

I do agree but when major alliances that have been in the tournament all 6 years....yeah, not cool when they lose to alliances that are 1-2 weeks old.

Of course it would be amazing if there was a way for us, within the confines of the Alliance Tournament, to accomodate each and every team that entered. Unfortunately due to scheduling (and other factors, but mostly scheduling) we can only support 64 teams.

Should have just made like 10 alliances during sign-ups and applied, selling their spots for 20billion to the highest bidder.
Real classy, CCP.

While I was one of the ones griping, I think its fair to mention that I thought Annhilation didnt get in because of a mixup, not the random draw.

Alternatively, you could just not have a sucky selection system. Do you think it's right that Morsus Mihi should not get in? This is an ALLIANCE tournament.

Edited by: Orree on 20/07/2009 17:52:16 Absolutely ******ed that the "Alliance" tournament's random selection process can (and did) exclude major, active, space-holding alliances.
Way to go...
Screwups for two tournaments running leaving RAWR out of the tournament. Sad.

How does the alt thing work again? When would we find out if we are bumped into a slot? (I expect we won't be but some clarification would be great since they took down the application process details where the alt thing was explained.)

Shame Morsus Mihi and ERROR aren't in. Would make more sense to have real alliances in tourney than alts.
Day one matchups look mostly lopsided with only a couple harder to guess matches between a few mid-range contendors.
Day two matchups have a lot more tooth and claw involved. Red Overlord vs Solar Wing is cool :) There's multiple decent fights there.
I notice BoB has two tournament entries despite being dead. Maybe give those to MM and ERROR :P

yep i agree that it shouldn't just be the largest alliances that get in but too be honest this draw is a fail and has shown that the north is under represented again
and yes i'm mad

Well we should have had a guaranteed place for finishing in the top 8 last time.
I understand from various people that we signed up etc (and apparently have screen-shots of that) but there was some technicality flagged up 13:30 Friday and as the team captain was at work he wasn't able to reply in time to sort it...
So at least one team can thank us for their place this time

I would also have to say that some of those small alliances that got in will not be active after the tourney
(no names) and i say some because i reckon they are alt alliances just to give them more chance of getting in and it will show when we see who is flying for those so called alliances

The Five and Kenzoku are not BoB alliances. They are separate, and while they may have bob players in them, they have been around awhile, as we know for Kenzoku

Out of interest, what method of teams selection would you all have gone for, and what are the benefits over both the random selection, and the previous 'window' method.

Well, if you guys were to suggest a minimum size for an alliance to sign up in order to prevent alt alliances from snagging spots, what would it be?
Somewhere between 50 and 200 I'd guess?
