This tournament has nothing to do with alliances whatsoever. What we do have is a cost of entry in order to ensure that those who are stating they wish to compete have enough skin in the game to take it seriously. Over the long term we would definitely like to have alternative methods of doing so but we simply don't have any other option at this time.

Like we bid 24 plex, but all other bid 55 plex, do we still ne to pay it?
Only the winner of the auction slot pays anything. Those plex would never leave your hands.

The total number of players submitted is at the discretion of the team captain. It is important to note that payment of any prize to a winning team will be paid by own3D.tv directly to all players listed in a team.
[...]
You may have as many of your characters in a single team as your captain allows. For example, if you own 5 EVE Online accounts with three characters on each there are no restrictions on how many of those characters can be in a single team. If you feel you can multibox your way to victory against some very dedicated teams then more power to you. Is that minimum 8, maximum 24 characters, or RL people? Extremities either way could be one person 8-boxing, or 24 people with the option to use any of their characters. I'm presuming it's referring to player characters.
A person may have multiple characters on the same team. A person MAY NOT have ANY characters in more than one team.

Hydra doesn't exist as far as this tournament format is concerned as was stated in the post you quoted.

For example, if you join team A with one of your accounts and then attempt to join Team B with a second account, both teams will be disqualified. Can't this be abused to tears or am I missing something? Potentially it could, however, the severity of penalties applied to player accounts who participate in this action should not be ignored. Fake edit: They are severe. The spies will be burned anyway, and banning those accounts isn't really a problem. Are you saying the main accounts will be affect as well? Punishment to the person and not the chars? Metagaming now an bannable offense? 
Attempting to cheat in the tournament is yes. Was that not clear in the rules?

Went back and fixed it, thank you. $10,000 is split 3 ways among the first 3 teams. That is before taxes. Read the devblog  . I did. Just a slip. It only works the argument in my favor. All this amounts to is paying 30B ISK to "have fun" - the real money value is insignificant. And that means the only people that have expendable money to burn are the null sec alliances. And the only people that will get "Sponsored" by anyone with money are going to be A-Teams that already have an ATX track record. As someone pointed out, on the ATX Auction, they could barely even sell the last slot. So what makes you think you can do the same thing here? Sorry, CCP has totally overestimated the amount of Free ISK moving around that would go towards a project like this. You are going to have a hard time filling 32 slots totaling a minimum of 480 Billion ISK, when there were BIGGER prizes, More ISK, more reputation and better rewards for ATX.
I guess we'll find out who's right when we open the bidding. You can go ahead and preserve this post for further discussion at that time based on fact rather than rampant and silly speculation.
