Due to the lack of contestants, and us wanting to keep the tournament both interesting and fun, we have decided to change the format of the alliance PVP championships.
We will have 32 teams competing in a bracket tournament. Eight brackets with four teams each, the top two alliances for each bracket will advance to the sixteen-team single elimination final.
We realize this might be tough one some alliances, as entire fleets will have to be replaced if a team loses a match. This is why we have decided that each alliance that finishes the first three bracket matches will recieve a Raven Navy Issue.
We currently have four slots open for the tournament. Once those are full the brackets will be posted.
- 3rd Front Alliance
- Aegis Militia
- Axiom Empire
- Band of Brothers
- Black Reign Syndicate
- Coalition of Carebear Killers
- Dusk and Dawn
- Electus Matari
- Exuro Mortis
- Fate Weavers
- Fountain Alliance
- Free Space Alliance
- Gemini Federation
- GoonSwarm
- Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate
- Interstellar Starbase Syndicate
- Lotka Volterra
- Mercenary Coalition
- Morsus Mihi
- OPUS Alliance
- Otherworld Empire
- Prime Orbital Systems
- Pure.
- SMASH Alliance
- Serenus Letum
- Stain- Alliance
- T R U S T
- The Five
- The Red Skull
- Ushra'Khan
- Veritas Immortalis
- Vox Imperium
The list is now complete, although 2 alliances have yet to send their list of contestants. Alliances that have a complete list can still sign up to take the place of the ones that don't.

so do all teams get a CNR just for fighting in the bracket? or just the ones that advance to the to the 16 team final
To get the CNR, you must fulfill these requirements:
- Show up for all of your matches
- Fight in all of your matches (win or lose)
- Bring 5 pilots to all of your matches.
We realize this opens up a small gap of people just showing up in the cheapest ships/setups and walking away with a CNR, but there are other factors we must consider here:
Most of the alliances who have signed up so far have signed up to win, and I don't think many of them would consider throwing away the tournament for something like this. The only real worry here are the three remaining spots, though I don't think I'd want to be known as the guy who signed up to lose.
Your reason for doing this is simple:
We changed the rules of the tournament after people signed up. Some people might find it unjust that this should be done, and especially due to them having to replace entire fleets should they lose a match. This should help recover some of that cost.
The tournament will work just like the world cup does, except there won't be a match to decide the third place winner. The format gives people a second chance if they lose a match, and should provide a lot more fun for the viewers, as they will be able to connect better to fewer teams.
We will be working on having betting for single matches, details regarding that will be announced later.

Lemonde,
How are you going to decide what team ends up in which group? Pure lottery or are the last 16 of the previous tournament going to be seeded so they don't end up knocking eachother out of the tournament before the real fun starts?
It will be random. I doubt we will have any problems, since only a few of the top 16 from last time are competing.

Trying to accomodate for more alliances, here is what we can do:
If we find eight more alliances that are willing to compete, we can add one alliance to each bracket, thus having five-team brackets instead of four. However, to do this, we require more alliances.
Right now the following alliances have expressed interest in competing, but not able to since with the current format, the tournament is full.
IRON
The Rock
D-L
Morsus Mihi
If we can get four more alliances to show interest, we might just be able to go ahead with this. If you have an alliance and wish to compete, send a mail with your alliance name and list of competing pilots to [email protected].
The alliances listed above must also do this to confirm their participation.

Looks like we're missing two alliances now. This is a first-come first-serve thing, so hurry sending your mail if you want to compete.

Just curious what people think about this idea:
Instead of giving 3 points for a win and 1 for a tie, we could give points based on enemy ships destroyed. It could work like this:
Battleship: 5 points
Battlecruiser: 4 points
Cruiser: 3 points
Destroyer: 2 points
Frigate 1 point
It would eliminate two probles we're facing:
Lets say team A and B are fighting, and team A ends up with a battleship and interceptor. Team B has only a battleship and manages to kill team A's battleship. Team A's interceptor can then simply fly around in circles until the 15 minutes are up and force a draw.
With 5 teams in a group, we could end up with a 3-way tie. This would lessen the chance of this happening.

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.

This is a simple mistake made by the person who made that website. Expect it to be fixed today.
