I really can't see anyone outside the SCL regulars putting on a good show, by locking out a lot of the better SCL pilots, apart from PL, it's going to create a rather dull and one sided tournament.
I've never actually participated in the SCL, btw, I want an interesting tournament full of the best pilots. Keep in mind that we will hopefully do another New Eden Open which will be team based, there the SCL teams can fly together without any problems. The Alliance Tournament is meant to pit in game alliances against each other to see who emerges victorious, not to pit makeshift alliances formed just for the tournament together to see which team is the best. With that being said, there is some merit to what you are saying and I expect fringe cases where players might have briefly left an alliance for some reason. The amount of these cases and the impact they have will of course be monitored.
I would like to point out that in the RvB case this is affecting us badly. We have pilots in Red and in Blue and based on last year's *erm* issues we thought we'd be able to field a single team again by shifting pilots into one of the two alliances. If that's not possible, will we be allowed to compete as purple with members of both Red and Blue on a single team? That is what we did last year, and if we no longer have time to put all our pilots into a single alliance, what we would hope to do again this year. |

The thought occured to me that this cut-off was to prevent "B teams". Does it mean that Red and Blue can enter separate teams then as we are separate alliances. A purple team is our preference and to be fair we are a single entity but if that's the only way for us to get the people who have already been practicing for months to fly in the AT we may do that. |

It does sound like CCP is trying in good faith to limit "artificial tourney only alliances" but that they'll grant exceptions where it makes sense to do so. I'm pretty hopeful that our case and others presented here will be resolved in a satisfactory manner. I guess I'm an eternal optimist that way. |

I'm assuming it means team A gets first ban, then team B gets 2 bans, and team A gets final ban. |
