why is it always big alliances that can only get into these and not people who do small gang PvP that don't have huge corps/alliances and 10bil isk lying around to enter the auction |

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.
I understand the need to cut down the amount of people who want to be in the tournament, but I agree that an alternative would be nice, as many groups of PvPers don't really stock up on ISK or plexes, and spend most ISK on acquiring stuff to fly. Perhaps an alternative method of getting in such as "if your group doesn't have the ISK, we have 5-10 auction entries that will be given as a prize in contest X" (for example a contest to make a video promoting your group of PvPers)
or something community based. The amount of slots given as a prize would have to be fairly small though.
generally, I just feel a tournament should be "Oh, we are good PvPers, lets enter!", not "Oh, we are good PvPers, lets farm PvE for 2 months to save up the ISK to enter!" :P
it's just the feeling that a lot of PvPers have that they want to PvP whenever on Eve, not be forced to PvE for some reason other than the normal ones (paying for accounts, being able to afford the ship you are flying, etc.) |

1. 11 Points
2. 13 Points
3. 12 Points
???
3 = easy to kill, but high damage, usually more useful than tier 1 BC, but not as well rounded as tier 2. (12)
2 = good at everything (13)
1 = some of them suck, some of them are decent, but they are generally worse than tier 2 counterpart (11)
is this reasonable explanation? |

In a broader spectrum tournament this would not be the case, and restrictions would be applied such that officer ships or expensively fit ships in general would be kept to alliance tournament. ISK does not dictate skill, and tournaments should be as such if they are supposed to represent the entire playerbase of eve. Of course, enough ISK to consider any subcap ship in a fleet is a reasonable amount, but people already have ships to use currently, not everyone has 10bil to throw into a pit of no return. |

Hey, I got a cool idea: instead of throwing away a pile of cash on a stupid contest, pay your programmers and designers some overtime to fix bugs, balance the game and maybe even provide some new content. Now THAT would be something newsworthy.
If you read the dev blog, it states own3d TV is providing the cash prize, not CCP |
