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.

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)

Every team that shows up for each of their 3 bracket matches gets a CNR, according to LeMonde.
[17:19] <%LeMonde> Every alliance that takes part in all 3 matches will get the CNR :)
Stay the fck away from my sig, thx.

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.

Nice solution, LeMonde 
I'm a bit saddened so few are participating. I don't know whether it is due to lack of interest, or a slight intimidation factor (some of the alliances competing here are quite good at what they do, and have very deep pockets). Glad to see at least some of the PVP heavyweights here, though. Looking forward to watching these!

I would guess that its the general view that there is no point in fighting against a team of the best pvp players from the best pvp alliances. When you add to this the fact that they will probably have the very best of the best in faction ships and pirate implants, why bother throwing away what can now be up to 1 bil in t2 ships and modules in all the fights just to get a 1 bil faction ship.
I am very sorry, but these are not the olympics. Taking part means nothing if you walk out with a pretty big loss (in isk) at the end of a very demanding tournament.
In all probability my alliance would also get flamed for taking part ("What are the carebears doing here? Of course they never had a chance.") so I personally didn't see any point in trying to get some people together to take part.

Have some self respect... Doesn't your alliance have any pride?
Competition can be fun, its great press for you alliance even if you lose...
And a billion isk should be chump change to any alliance, if its not... Then your alliance sucks and you should go join another.

What pride is there in being a punching bag, please?
Good press along the lines of "Got wiped out each time, but they were there, even if they were outclassed in their ships."
Oh, please....
Unfortuantely, my alliance would not foot the bill for me to go and lose ships. I do not think any less of the alliance or the people in it because of that. In fact I can understand it perfectly: Why should the other foot the bill for my fun and incompetance?

Let's get a couple of things together here:
1) Making a billion ISK isnt that hard. Just takes a bit of determination, or starting capital. It doesn't require access to highend complexes, ore or NPCs - they just make it easier.
2) ISK is irrelevant. Certainly, you will need a bit of money for this - A Battleship, fittings, a cruiser and fittings, a Battlecruiser and fittings, a Frigate and fittings and an Interdictor and fittings. You can probably buy and fit all those ships with 300million. That means purely for the first three matches, you need about a billion ISK, allowing for some expensive stuff here and there.
3) Faction ships and Pirate Implants do not affect the matches the way you appear to think. They make things easier, definatly. They're a huge asset to a team. But nothing good tactics cant compensate. The team that came second-place the last Championship did not use all Pirate Implants. Hell, they were an inch away from winning! Pure tactics.
4) You are not going to be a punching bag. Do you think what makes the big scary PvP corporations good is they have the best PvPers? No, just that they have alot of good ones, or alot of good fleetcommanders, etc. It does not mean they have the 5 best PvPers. They might, sure. But at the top level, there isn't too much of a difference. For an alliance to compete, they require 5 capable PvPers. The fact that you might not be able to compete on an alliance-scale with other alliances, means this Tournament is the best opportunity to show your worth. You only need 5, the other side can only field 5. The other side might have 100 good PvPers and you only 10. In this Championship each stands a near-equal chance.

I assume that in my case it should say 1 pilot (even though I seriously doubt I make it past the first fight).
And I signed up with my other alliance as well (which will be fought by other pilots in its name) but it didn't make the list? Or is it still open for those pilots that are to fight for its name?

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.

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.

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.

As far as I can tell, Chribba signed up for the tournament when it was still supposed to be held among 128 alliances. Just like last year, he signed up knowing full well he wouldn't last very long. (Either that or he thought it was about whoever mined the most veld in 10 minutes  ).
IMHO he deserves a CNR just for being the good sport that he is and signing up regardless.
And you can't really say he's wasting a tournament slot a real alliance could be using, only 28 of the 128 slots were filled up to yesterday.

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..

Technically, I fully agree with you on the CNR part. Tbh, I don't really care, it's all good fun.
My point was more about the waste of a slot. He signed up, Lemonde accepted him, so if anyone is wasting a slot it's not Chribba, it's whoever decided to let him play as a one man team. Still, I don't see it as a wasted slot, rather as something that adds a touch of humour to the tournament.

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.

While it is quite amusing having Chribba in the tournament, the only problem I see is that it makes the pool he's in that much easier. Why should the teams in his group have one easy fight while the rest have to slug it out through all three?

Linky-winky for you (check the last paragraph)
Nothing you said btw; definitely a character made for the purpose (Professor Kiyudas Tsalmaki, Lecturer in Emergent Warfare Analysis at the State War Academy), and while CCP as a whole prolly doesn't have much to do with what is being written in the news, they should definitely have some sort of guide-lines for their news-writers.
I know that such statements can be defended as being pure RP, however by saying that the issue regarding implants etc. have been discussed through various mediums (which we all know that those discussions weren't RP), whomever wrote the news post ruined any chance of using RP as an excuse for what he wrote.
And to actually edit the post would make CCP look even worse than they already do...

Wow looks like this tournament just took a few steps up in the seriousness since the last. Therefor I will withdraw and leave place to another alliance (you know who you are) so that no bracket gets and easier path.
Sorry to all those who could have the chance to smack my ass, I was looking forward to it as well. Good luck and good fighting!

Maybe LeMonde should look at adding 32 Corporation teams and at least have 64 participating teams.
I imagine that there are a lot of good corps out there who could field 5 good members to participate.

Im sry for my outburst if it offends other eve players but hey ccp, just reward aliances and the big wigs with decent content yet again.
Even if i did get my corp to feild a gang, i honestly doubt it that we would get to the semifinals etc because we would simply use non uber faction ships with t2 fittings...no aliance to back us up with some wedge.
Im proper foaming at the mouth about this, its disgusting.............i look at this as opertunity to have an even fight in eve which is sooooo rare nowadays, with i imagine no ewar and fight to death.
Sure ive lost a few 1 v 1s in my 3 years of eve but let me tell ya i can honestly count them on 1 hand (shiptype the same ), a decent opertunity to show skill and to kill people with actual risk, so many stababonds, stab ravens, instas, ewar *****s etc that people like me need this.
Thks yet again. Oh btw i have 300mill in my wallet so i can buy a couple of bs and fit them out for tourny so that alone probably rules me out.

Sorry but, you change the limit from 128 (!) to 32 ONE day before signups end?
Also you said Alliances can signup until to 23.06.2006 18.00 (!) wich is in 1.5 hours.
Sorry but Im very disapointed with this and Im sure Im not the only one.
You also said, everyone who singed up is well prepaired and is ready to fight, etc
Guess what, some Alliances Selling their spots for isk to pilots who paying enough.
very, very bad move from CCP.

You're in it now, in our group. Yarr!
Edit, read your post a bit better. So you've got a spot, but haven't officially entered the tournament?

Um, why did you wait so long then? To me, reserved means you have priviledged opening but it is up to you if you want to take it. Also, if they take you, someone has to be bumped. I've been in another other kinds of tournaments to know it won't work unless it is 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 members. They'd have to try for 64 but the numbers probably just aren't there.

Someone has some interesting humour picking that grouping (even tho a certain alliance was kindly switched in , maybe it was pre-ordained), which ever computer randomly picked the groupings needs to undergo irony training.

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.

RE:Alliances that were bummed by the early signup closure
Surely given the new nature of the tournament, it wouldnt hurt to just add one alliance to each group table? Still only letting the top 2 teams pass through to the knockout stage.
This would give room for another handful of alliances to signup who missed the deadline and also would negate the need to go from 32 alliances to 64 to keep things square.
EDIT: Responded to wrong damn topic and just read LeMondes suggestion above..... just what I was thinking ^^

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.

With the new rules changes and release of the schedule, requiring 5 out of 6 pilots to be available 3 days in a row at a certain time, is there any possibility to open up signups to a few more alternates? Or make changes to our previously submitted roster to allow pilots, who can show up, to participate? Maybe 5 pilots + 3-4 backups?

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.

By doing that youll only force ppl to use boring tank setups with 100s of nos and repairdrones. The side which keeps its battlecruiser and bs alive wins the battle.
Also it will force ppl in return to go for the bs and bcs first to make sure they score high enough early to prevent the 15 minute timer to cripple their points.
Last but not least it advertises "preventing your enemy to score" over "trying to kill all of your enemies". In many cases where teams meet with bitter "real game" histories i can forsee teams running in circles after losing a few ships. Not because they can still win this match but because surviving will also hurt the winner compared to the other teams in the group.

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...

What about this as a possible alternative....
In the case where the two fighting teams each have one ship left at the end of 15 mins, the bigger ship left becomes the tiebreaker. This eliminates the inty buzzing around to force a tie scenario. If the two ships left are of the same class, the fight ends in a draw.
While I agree the point system is a slight improvement over the original system, I agree that it may lead to a much more defensive type setup style for the larger ship classes and promote a much more boring tournament.

On another note, I LOVE the new tournament format. Very cool and should provide for a lot more fun than last time.

can it be postponed ?

Then pick a team of players that can make all of the scheduled times, is unlikely that more than one will have an emergency, hence the sub.
It is limiting and does make it hard to field your preferred team, especially for a small alliance like mine, but can be done.

When did you make this rule up LeMonde? As it still isnt in the original rules post. Saying that its a good job you said now as we have a pilot flying for us who's corp just left the alliance, will have to get him to rejoin a bit earlier.

I just finished watching the first round of this year's Tourney. I have a few comments.
First, I have a real good PC, and internet connection, so I know that this is not that type of problem. And as the studio shots were clear, I know that I was at least getting a good stream. So, why are the battles so blurry? Do the PC's that are capturing the action not fast enough? Or maybe don't have good enought capture cards to do a good job?
Second, Who is the director? Isn't the director the one who tells the "camera persons" what to do, what shots to frame, what ships to focus on, what "camera" is live, etc? The "camera" action at times really sucked. How many "cameras" are there? It seemed as there were only 2. Maybe more "cameras" need to be added so that shots can be set up, "BEFORE" being switched to. Way to much unneeded zooming in and out, and most of the time the "camera" was not on the action.
Third, although I like both of the DJ's from EVE Radio that were doing the announcing, if I was not watching the action, a good portion of the time I would not have known what was going on. Please think of having one do play by play, and the other doing color. You know, just like other sporting events.

It's blurry because the Fraps is compressed to half its size (or even less actually) and because the stream isn't at full quality. When you record it captures the entire screen (so lets say 1280x1024), then cuts that in half, then encodes it so that instead of 200mb for 1 minute of movie you get a stream of about 30mb for that same 1 minute of footage. All that resizing and compressing lowers the quality of the picture.
The director is DJ Xyliana (or however you spell it =P ) but he can't direct in the way you're asking. EVE TV is basically a live feed, there's only a 40 second or so delay to do the encoding and transmitting. I think what the director does is tell everyone when to switch between the commentary, fights and pre-recorded stuff, but it'd be too much work to try and get the cameras in the fights themselves organized. Basically what they've done is have the EVE Radio commentators fraps the fight from an overview perspective and comment on that as its happening, then they have Reynir (a CCP employee) doing the close up frapsing. If something goes wrong with the commentator's fraps they switch to Reynir's fraps until it's fixed.
And stuff does go wrong, the ships the camera men are flying were pimped Opex yachts that do 4km/s, it's pretty easy to accidently double click somewhere when you're adjusting camera angles, which sends the ship flying off in some random direction until it's out of range. I think they're fixing this for tomorrow. And they're using modified clients to do the camera work, which could be causing some of the freezing problems (though that's just a guess).

Betting is still open here.
Anyone know when the bracket for round 2 will be finalized, or am I just over looking it?

If EVE-TV is down because the server is somehow bound to the TQ server, or if it's simply not up because there's no matches to show, I don't know.

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.
Seems like a LOT of teams wont be getting that CNR!

What *****head changed the schedule? We had MC in our group and then if we beat LV we have to fight them again in the Semis? Who the heck changed the schedule to jack it up? It was set correctly before.

My guess is drug use by whomever set up the brackets. Same as the reason all the pairings got changed.

WHY IS THE FINAL PAIRINGS CHANGED???
The original pairing was like this:
http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/0606/round02sched.JPG
While the new is like this:
http://myeve.eve-online.com/events/alliances/tournament/matches.asp?matches=final16
This is completely flawed.
If you don't see what's changed, it's the semifinal pairings.
The basic idea that you use for pretty much all tournaments, is that it's very possible that the two 'best' teams may have been drawn in the same group, and therefor two teams who met in the group stages can not meat again until the final.
The original pairings of the semifinals was according to this.
The new one is changed and is not like this.
And the new one basicly put all teams in two halves the same day the groups was drawn: in the final there has to be one team from group A-D and one team from group E-H.
The semifinals is supposed to be:
W89 vs W90
W91 vs W92
That this is wrong also mess up the time schedule:
Take a look at semifinal, match 93.
Currently, w89 has 1h 10 minutes to prepare for that fight.
And their opponents, w91, has 30 minutes to prepare for that fight (which would be 50 if the pairings were correct).
In other words, the new schedule *****.

this makes me laugh and annoys me at the same time,
what is done, is done and there nothing we can do about, but at the same time it was done so IAC and BOB could both get throught to the final, but (no disrespect to IAC or any other team) but they r expecting bob and iac to keep winning, what about MC, SE, use (exuro) and the rest, anything can happen, ppl can make misstake, connections can drop (we've seen this a few times now),
well that is my 2 pence.

So IAC scums eve to come second and avoid BoB.
Then Trust powns Kaos and the plan is ()&& up.
The Le Monde comes to the rescue and changes the tables around so that IAC still avoid BoB.
I hope IAC dont make the final.
Is it rly this important for you Le Monde or whoever did this that you dont mind the fact that we all see whats happening? Why compromise so blatantly CCP integrity? I dont understand this.

There should of been one qualifer from each group in one half of the knockout and one qualifer from each group in other half of the knockout.
What we got here now is basically A-D playing each other and E-H playing each other till the final. Abit disjointed imo.
The old schedule Dalman posted would of been spot on and fair imo. Now the draw looks lopsided!

If this is a mistake should be corrected ASAP.
If isn't a mistake it's a clear evidence of how ccp give a hand to one or another and further speculations about ccp impartiality are useless.

It is not actually about brackets and how are formed but changing mid competition to fit someone desire.

A fitting end to the tourney:
A standard missle Crow wins a duel with a rocket Crow. The rocket Crow has a 125II or 150II rail (a single one) on the 4th high.
He gets flamed by the (*%%((&& commentators for useing"rails" for which they say he should have used a Raptor.... and they give gratz to the Crow that won using "rockets" (he was of course using standard missles)
The commentator blemded perfectly irony with cluelessnes...

Maybe it would help next time if the commentators had access at least to the weapons set-ups of the ships that are participating? They had to guess as much as the rest of us, and made mistakes, just like the rest of us.
I understand the privacy of peoples' setup etc, but I think Xman and Xod needed a little more info to be able to comment accurately, a few mistakes were simply because they were more or less seeing exactly what we were.
That said, most of the time they did an awesome job, but then, I could be biased, since I tend to say Okekoke from time to time too ;)

The problem with that is, the other side may get access to that information during the fight and so give them an advantage. Also it makes springing suprises a lot harder...
