Ban: Oneiros, Ban: Guardian - you effectively banned armor fleets?
45 minutes before match start is really little time to switch and modify your concept.
Obviously teams will have to have multiple different setups practiced and ready to go, or some other way to handle substituting equal-ish ships into their game plan.
You know about the possibility now - start planning so you can execute easily within 45 minutes.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

IE if I throw up 35 plex, will I get my plex back at the end win or lose, or do they just disappear once they're contract to CCP Alliance Char? You will only be required to part with your PLEX if you win a spot. Meaning that you don't pay the PLEX until you have won the auction for the spot. I'm all for more tournaments and am very interested in bringing this sort of stuff to eve(I regularly livestream on Own3d myself), but I find the non-refundable entry bid to be nothing but a money grab rather than the "legitimacy guarantor" you appear to be playing it off as. -Servant's Lord
Entry fee - not entry to bid. Go try the reading thing again. You pay only if your bid is one of the 32 winners.
TBH, I think a lot of you here are ignoring all the costs involved in running this tournament, just to ***** and moan about how the prizes aren't as good as the Alliance Tourney.
Guess what - THIS ISN'T THE ALLIANCE TOURNEY.
That's the big one, with the big prizes and stuff. This one is *A* tournament, with cash prizes, that anyone (rich enough) can enter, and you can cherry pick your teams.
Running a live broadcast requires just a wee bit more investment in time, people and equipment than your average Youtube video or roaming live feed. Nobody puts on tournaments for free - not Little League Baseball, not e-games, not football (whatever version), not the Olympics and not autosports. It's all done for love of the game(s) and mostly for money.
