Much sexier format tbh 
Quite happy with these changes.
I'm kinda sad so few alliances are competing tho.
Guess they feel intimidated and aren't willing to compete without maximum possible chance of victory. (i.e. feel it's pointless entering unless they're willing to spend ISK on full pirate implant sets for everyone etc)

Interesting brackets, this should be sexy
Good luck to all.
You'll need it.

- Bring 5 pilots to all of your matches.
I assume that in my case it should say 1 pilot (even though I seriously doubt I make it past the first fight).
That's a pretty big assumption.. Did you actually clear it with LeMonde beforehand that the rules didn't apply to you ?
No offense but you're wasting a tournament slot a real alliance should be using IMHO.

Another possible explanation would be their preoccupation with other activities, but mostly I think it's a matter of them fearing to lose.
Meh nice going CCP... Let's call all non-competing alliances for chickens because they can't be arsed to spend billions of isk on T2 implants 
EDIT: I'm well aware of T2 implants not being the sole decider on these matches, however I do find CCPs words in the news post - well badly chosen.
I don't see that actual sentence in the news post, so either you're paraphrasing or it got edited.
Anyways I think it's mostly my words being quoted, not CCP's + the part that isn't me comes from an Interstellar Correspondent (Volunteer), not CCP.
BTW The reason they're chicken is not that they wouldn't spend the billions on ships and implants, but that they didn't simply take part ghetto style.

Even if it was 128 he'd still be wasting a tournament slot, it would ofc be much less relevant, but the fact is it did make it to 32 yesterday, and i'm sure one more real team would've signed up if it could've.
Chribba is filthy rich, i'm sure a CNR doesn't matter in the least to him.
My point however is that he signed up 1 person out of 5 when the rules were perfectly clear on one only being able to compete by fielding 5 pilots. It's a joke entry, harmless fun etc, but it requires an exception to the rules, which apparently he didn't acquire beforehand..

Nobody decided to let him play as a one man team.
He just misunderstood and assumed he was allowed to without clearing it with LeMonde
That's my understanding of the situation anyway.

CCP have to clear all that stuff before it's released.

T R U S T
The Five
What's up with these two alliances? Didn't they disband or something?
The Five is probably a DICE team and T R U S T D2's B team.
No surprise there, and people were encouraged to start new alliances just to compete, I'm just surprised there weren't more 5 man alliances setup for this. (Weavers of Fate mighe be one?)
I kinda expected MC to field more than one team like this.
Darpz; yeah i was wondering that too, what if 3 teams win 2 matches and one loses all three ?
Three teams with 6 points each..

Are you insane Kcel ? 
How would it being a draw when an interceptor is left zooming everywhere be an improvement over what LeMonde described ??? At least then you get 5+4+3+2 points and some recognition of the fact you blew up most of your opponent's team...
