Oh, it's that time of the year again. A time for alliances to gather together, theory craft fittings, fit up billions of ISK worth of ships, and pit them against each other for great explosions! Yes, that's right, the Alliance Tournament is returning for the 11th time, and we're looking for commentators!

Oh noes! Any chance to get around the deadline? This would mean simply that we are out, because our corp joined a Faction Warfare adventure before joining our new alliance. :-(
And we are preparing since months already...

Why the ZERO notice? "Lastly, to fly with an alliance in the Alliance Tournament XI you will need to have been a member of that alliance from downtime this morning, at 11:00 UTC May 15th."
I understand wanting to stop out of alliance B-teams but that's not really fair to a LOT of people. http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/fight-us-maybe http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/winterupdate http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/supercaps http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/pandemiclegion |

Screwing over a lot of SCL pilots here, might as well save yourself the trouble of organizing a tournie and give the prize to PL. |

SCL is on Sisi, if you are silly enough to change your alliance on Tranq for SCL then perhaps you are in a B team? |

Just saying that giving some notice on when pilots have to be in an alliance by would allow pilots who have been flying together in the SCL the chance to join an alliance together.
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. |

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. |

The problem is, I know of many older players who only still play eve because of the unique gaming experience that the Alliance Tournament provides.
This is just a terrible shame and 1 weeks notice would have been nice from a player perspective. |

You did have a chance, TQ has been up and running for 10 years. You can join an alliance for ATXII right now if you like. DirectX 11, it's not rocket appliance! |

Yeah, funny. This is not about a single pilot joining "an alliance" in time, but a whole corp that has not been part due to technical reasons. I am sure you are aware that some alliances use neutral Trade/Hauler/Warfare whatever corps? We could not join because we could not play properly then.

Well, this *IS* supposed to be the Alliance Tournament -- and as such, giving no notice and excluding the old "AT-only Alliance" crowd to be honest shouldn't be such a big deal today.
It USED to be a big deal because AT was the only competitive esport around for EVE -- but with NEO, SCL and FF Tourneys already on the roster, isn't it about time the Alliance Tournament once again became about, you know, alliances we know from EVE TQ competing against each others and less about ~12 man real life friends who make up an alliance for the tournament that exists 2 months of the year?
NEO has brilliant price pool and format to help the informal friends compete and OWN, SCL has started up really strong and SCL3 was a massively competitive and entertaining format of the same. And btw, it runs every month. |

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. |

Sure it is. The alliance tournament is members of alliances fighting members of other alliances. Swapping characters from other corps into an alliance at the last minute just for the tournament isn't really the idea behind this, at least, it seems that's not what it is any more.

Hey guys. The early cuttoff was put in place because we intend the Alliance Tournament to be about people representing their alliances, whatever that alliance may be, instead of the kind of club-team system you see with the NEO or SCL (which help fill that need very well).
In cases where a corp or member are caught by surprise outside of *their* alliance for one reason or another, we can make exceptions to get them back in. What we don't want is people jumping from one alliance to another just for the tournament.
Look at it this way: that Alliance Tournament is essentially the Olympic Games of EVE. People can move from one country to another, but it's intended that you represent the country that you claim as your own the whole year round.
If you have a request for an exception, send a petition to the community queue and we'll take a look. But if you're trying to move from your home alliance to another one just for the tournament, I don't expect we'll grant those requests. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

Send us a petition to the community department with the details of your technical reasons and we'll take a look. Like I said this is intended to ensure that people fly with their real alliances, not to block people on a technicality. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |

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. |

Our default position would be for you to enter multiple teams as you are multiple alliances, however we will consider requests for exceptions in special circumstances.
We want to enable all pilots in EVE who want to represent their home entity, and we'll do what we can to fairly allow people to do that in good faith. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie |
