the only good solution to the issues is to allow as many to compete as want to (you can change the format to allow this easily enough, f.i. by making it a 1 loss you're out tourney instead of the current style that means you can bounce back from a loss as long as it's in group stage
the current tourney management team is FAR too attached to the current setup imo
size constraints won't work (padding is easy) and there's plenty of small groups / corps that provide a better showing than huge alliances
raising the ISK cost won't matter since well, ISK is plentiful and they'll never raise it fast enough to keep up with inflation ;P (certainly not without stopping desirable teams from entering along with "undesirable" ones
i do think they should go back to first applies first gets in since that favors the people that care the most about it
random is never cool

Of course it's not a great answer, it's just better than the crap method they went with this time.
(since they insist on only letting a few teams in)

A possible alternative is to have a hybrid selection system of what we currently have. Rather than just having the guaranteed slots and the random draw, we introduce a play off category. Alliances may enter their team *either* by ballot, or a play off. In other words, you hope in luck or your skill. The play off would be a knockout (to minimise the number of matches) competition open to all, with a lower entrance fee to offset the increased number of ships that you need to buy and fit. This would guarantee that we have some entrants which have gained their place through *merit only* - if you fail to qualify in this manner, you screwed up and shouldn't ***** about it. Another possible idea is to introduce another category where teams which have tried to enter - and failed - for several times in a row are able to enter.
Thoughts?
CCP won't do stuff like that cos it's more manhours for GMs/Tourney supervisors.

This isn't a new discussion thread, just a rehashing of things already covered multiple times over.
i was actually thinking that too, there's nothing new or useful in the OP at all ;P
