Is there ever going to be an event for people who havent played an extremely long time who arent a part of a big alliance etc?
So far the only world events ive seen are ones I as a new player have no hope to participate in which is pretty disheartening. 
There's a pretty even ratio between "alliance" and "personal" events. This tournament just happens to be a little more high-profile than most other.

This may be a stupid question, but are the loot cans droped by destroyed ships fair game for who gets them first or do they go back to their owners by default?
Please excuse me if this question has already been asked in this thread as I have not read the entire thing.

The loot is for the winner Cathryn, at least it was last time and I see no reason for them to change it this time.
However you won't have a very long time to pick the cans up since they tend to be impatient about TRing you out afterwards

My alliance is very small and was started up for this tournament exclusively. The most I have had in alliance chat is 8 people at once... SO MUCH FOR YOUR BIG ALLIANCES ONLY PREMISE.
Since this tournament was announced til it begins you'd have 2-3 MONTHS to train skills etc.. Every alliance needs a frigate/destroyer pilot, thats more than enough time to max out those skills... SO STOP COMPLAINING!
But your prolly not a new character anyway, you name and lack of an avatar suggest your an alt of someone who didn't have the guts to enter the tournament and just wants to make up a silly excuse for why you are afraid to compete.
People need to not take things so seriously, have fun... Its a game after all

Hiya, i woud like a bit more detail about these 2 rules.
- If a player warps out/leaves the arena, his ship will be destroyed
Does this include pods when ur ship died? (pods arent ships right?)
- Deliberately pod-killing another player will result in disqualification.
Does this disqualification include a reimbursement of the lost implants? As i foresee a lotta podkilling going on, especialy when a enemy team is like behind with 0 points after 3 matches and has no chance of winning anymore they will go on a extremely unsportive podkilling spree.

I'm just curious, it won't affect me but last time I received a SS penalty for engaging my opponents in the tournament, for some reason since Polaris is 0.0 this shouldn't occur, but Polaris was special according to the GM I talked to.
This could have a greater impact this time as you are fighting at least 3 times in the initial bracket.
Are there any plans to look over this?
As I said, it won't affect me since I'm not fighting, but it may affect others.

Was pretty lame how some people got their sec status repaired last time, but GMs said no to me
But I'm pretty sure it'll be in real 0.0 this time, so won't be an issue.

I want to remind all pilots to join the alliance they are fighing for before July 7th. Players who are not members of the alliance they are competing for by then risk being disqualified from the tournament.

I need some urgent response about some stuff I need cleared up.
1. Is the Substitute separate from the spectator? Does this mean you can have 2 subs?
2. If we have prior warning to someone not showing up, can we replace as many team members as needed?
A quick response would be much appreciated by tux or someone involved, I need this cleared up.

There is only one substitute for each team.
The list of pilots is final, and cannot be changed. The list will be up on the official site this week, though you can also find it on BIG's betting site here.
I realize some people might have to wait 24 hours to join the alliance they need, and we will be contacting the one's who haven't joined before the deadline to make sure they know about it.

BTW, how will you stop an Austria-Germany game?
If both teams need 1 point in last match to go trough they could just not fire on each other. Both losing no isk then, and both going trough.
Or even more corrupt. If one team is already out of the game in the poule matches, before one of the last games. And they can be bribed by their opponent to lose their last match by staging some cheap t1 ships or soemthing. 
That might be just IC then. 
But I hope it won't get to that anyways.

Haha bribery would be hilarious, and totally in the spirit of EVE.
I hope someone does try to rig the competition 
That's one of the reasons I wish someone would take bets on individual matches, then one would have the option of betting on the other side and throwing the match for great wealth

I am curious why in the "penalties" section there is no mention of a team being immidately disqualified for any fittings or ammo infractions? Can we assume this is the case. The wording makes me leary that some unscrupulous team may use illigal fittings/ammo and still be able to win that match. Say it ain't so?

Fights are limited to 15 minutes in the first round, after that fighting will cease and a tie will be declared.
This is quoted from the Rules!
The Red Skull vs Fountian fight lasted more than 15 minutes!

I don't see anything about "unless the ref's decided to add more time" in there. How about following your own rules?

Hi Peeps.
Can I please have clarification on what happens if there is a tie for second place in the 1st round.
This is looking likely in Group C.
Thanks

good question, best would be to check the direct confrontation between the 2 and decide the winner based on that since we dont have a goal difference to help ;)

Yea, i assume its the result of the confrontation between the two.
Could be # of ships killed though, or # of ships lost, or kill:death ratio...

We currently go by a Ships destroyed: ships lost ratio. If it's still equal, the confrontation between the alliances in question will be used to decide which alliance goes through.

This is certain?
And you go by 'ratio', not 'difference?
So, looking at our group (C);
ISS has 6 points (4 matches) and 14:11 = 1.273
Chorus has 3 points (3 matches) and can't reach 1.273 even if they win 5-0 vs MC so they are out.
SA has 6 points (3 matches) and 11:7. So, if we should lose vs Ushra'khan tomorrow we need to keep it better than 1.273 to go through? In other words, we can't lose all our 5 ships and still progress.
Honestly, I was completely counting on that "the confrontation between the alliances in question" would be used, as the only decider. As all the matches with forfeits and/or incomplete teams causes a whole lot of trouble (although our group has been complete).
Cause technicly, if we would field just one single ship vs ushra and obviously lose... Then that would give us 11-8 and we'd go through.
Or I guess we would be 'penalised' with a 5-0 defeat, ehh?
But then with forfeits... Surely that must also be a 5-0 defeat.
I guess it's totally hypothetical... but take a look at group A.
If PURE would actually turn up all of a sudden and go on and beat D2.
And at the same time IRON folds again = another forfeit victory for Serenus.
Then Serenus and D2 would both be on 6 points, with Serenus possibly having the best ratio, with both their wins being forfeit wins and not a single 'real' point!
Point being, when we had it happen on first day, and it indeed was expected, that some teams would forfeit or come with incomplete teams, and adding fact that some teams that are already out hardly will put up a faction BS etc in the later matches, as well as the opportunity to pick opponents in later stages, the only possible conclusion is that it is actually a very bad idea to have any ratio as decider instead of the result(s) between the involved teams.
Of course, my alliance intends to go out and beat Ushra'khan in style tomorrow, no matter how seriously they take the match. Just having my say on that rule.
Am I forced to have any regret?
