Hello Players
After assessing all evidence available to us, we have determined that Warlords of the Deep and The Camel Empire colluded to fix the result of Series 117b (the second match of the BO3 Quarter Finals between the two teams). As such, all Prize ships, medals (both inventory items and character sheet) as well as the Alliance Tournament Cup will be confiscated from both teams. PLEX rewards will remain as they achieved a position in the top 16 before the match they colluded in.
Additionally, the team captain for Warlords of the Deep (Kadesh Priestess) is permanently banned from participating all CCP Tournaments (including the upcoming Amarr Championship), while the captain of The Camel Empire (Bob Shaftoes) is banned for a period of one year from the conclusion of the tournament (until 2016-08-30). This includes any character they control, or any alliance they may be executor or captain for even if they do not wish to fly in the tournament.
A number of players from outside the teams purchased prize ships. The ISK from these purchases was previously placed in escrow, and will now be returned in full. Anyone that this affects will have previously received information regarding this matter when the ships were originally frozen.
The two alliances themselves and all other players on those teams will have no further actions taken against them as we do not have specific evidence that they were involved. However, the two teams will need to select new captains or executors as per above if they wish to compete again.
All remaining teams will be move up two positions in rankings and prizes (other than PLEX) will be redistributed on this basis. While we canGÇÖt know for sure that the tournament would have resulted in the same way if the two teams had not been competing, we believe this is the fairest way to handle the situation after the conclusion of the tournament.
As such, the new top 4 are as follows:
- Pandemic Legion
- Exodus.
- The Tuskers Co. & Nulli Secunda
Note that as there is no clean way to determine which of the two teams would be placed 3rd or 4th, we have decided to instead split the prizes of the two positions evenly between each team (5 ships each). However, both teams will receive 12 inventory medals each.
Finally, we are looking to make the rules more stringent in the future with regards to working with other teams. Details of these will be announced in the future, but in many cases, if we think it seems suspicious, weGÇÖll be inclined to remove your team from the tournament.
If any players have further questions, please feel free to ask.

At the time, banning an account was beyond the scope of what we considered reasonable based on the tournament rules as they were. This may not remain true in the future.

At the time, banning an account was beyond the scope of what we considered reasonable based on the tournament rules as they were. This may not remain true in the future. You've pretty much established 1 year for the first offense, lifetime ban for the second offense. I'd say that's a perfectly reasonable amount of deterrence.
This is more a case of tournament ban versus account bans (the second of which is much more serious, and the exclusive domain of the Game Masters)

Skins have not been distributed yet, and in this case, they will not be receiving any. The number of match wins (and thus skins) for other teams will not be adjusted.

The teams previously placed 17 and 18 are now placed 15 and 16, and as such will be offered those positions (assuming we stick with them for next year)

We'll rank that group similarly to how we rank the other elimination groups to work out seeding order and take the top two in order.

Yes, a number of incorrect medals were given out (and then removed) due to a mistake on my part with the medal process.
