Oooh. 100 points. Howz about A Megathron and 4 x Brutix's = 99 pts.
Or A Maelstrom + 4 x Hurricanes = 99 pts.
Imagine either of them teams steaming towards you for close range pwnage!
Or 3 x Tempests + whatever.
Exciting prospects.

As a participant in last tournament I will give my opinion on the new rules. (This chracter im posting on is not my main)
1. Point system needs to be looked at. There is a big difference between a tier 3 battleship and a tier 1 battleship.
2. Podding allowed. I see many problems with this. Poor alliances will no longer use implants in this tourney. Rich alliances will use implants every round and wont mind losing their pod as they will just replace them. I know I for one will not use my Full crystal set like I did last tournament. I may have 10bisk, but im not willing to just give up my pod and lose 2b isk especially when there is a warp disruption bubble there. Three, people who lose thier ship will have to die or warp out and cant watch the match finish.
3. Why not T1 Rigs? They are pretty cheap no?
4. Not having a player meeting to discuss the rules like last 2 tournaments? Bad Idea. Its like not beta testing a game.
Just my opinion.

Originally by: GM Nova 10. Locking the enemy team before the match starts is NOT allowed.
Any thoughts on enforcing that rule, this time around?
they can do it easily this round, just explode a lockbreaker bomb on everybody right when the fight starts

Originally by: Vina a couple questions.
will there be obstructions on the field and will the teams assemble at polar opposite beacons?
no...BoB will have their members spawn 450 AU away from the battlefield, and will be granted EXTREME targeting and optimal range bonuses.

3. The ship points table is as follows:
Battleship, Faction-----37 Battleship --------------27 Battlecruiser, Tech2---27 Battlecruiser -----------18 Cruiser, Recon --------19 Cruiser, Tech2 --------17 Cruiser, Faction -------13 Cruiser ----------------10 Destroyer, Tech2 ------8 Destroyer --------------5 Frigate, Tech2 ---------6 Frigate, Faction --------4 Frigate ------------------3
If a team brings an industrial to supply cap charges and ammo, what's its point value. If a team brings Barges or Rookie ships as a joke, do they have point values?

so let me get this right. In order to take part in this event you MUST be apart of an alliance. How stupid is that. Why cant we field groups of friends or people that we feel would be a good pvp group? I dont like alliances and never will. You are excluding people from competing because they choose not to be apart of an alliance.
This is wrong and completely discriminatory.

It's called the alliance tournament, if it was for just "groups of people" then it would be called the "groups of people" tournament, obviously....

my point is this. chances are the best pvpers in this game are NOT in an alliance. Why should these playes be excluded from exhibiting their talent?

Perhaps they could join an alliance for the duration of the tournament and then leave immediately afterwards, like many people and corps did last tournament?

Originally by: GM Nova 7. Fights are limited to 15 minutes in the first round. After that the fight will be stopped and whichever alliance has destroyed ships with a higher number of total point worth will be declared winner.
What happens if neither team scores any kills?
Quote: 7. If a player warps out/leaves the arena, His/her departure will be counted as a ship kill. If that player warps back in, all his systems will be neutralized. (All modules offlined)
If the player warps back in does the kill still count? _____________________________________________

Sorry dog, You cant fly command ships without leadership 5, and you dont command an alliance without empire control 5. There is no reason a corporate entity can not shield themselves under the political armor of the alliance form and retain thier corporate identity. The alliance tournament is about alliances sorry. Rasa as well is not fond of large alliances yet we managed to participate and do well with a roughly 50 person corporation(alliance), bereft of pirate implants fielding a team consisting of several starters with less than 8m skill points. Train the skills, save up the money, and execute an alliance if you think you have what it takes and want to compete. I have no sympathy for your whining.

Hello? Anybody there? It has now been 6 weeks of us arguing, giving feedback and speculating about the rules, but not a single CCP update or response on the matter. This is making it near impossible to prepare for the tournament, as we don't even know if we can be bothered to sign up if you are planning to keep the rules like they are now.

Seconded.
Kinda rude keeping us all waiting like this tbqh.
GM Nova can't even muster the time to say 'The rules stand as they are'
What happened to this promised round table discussion?
I take it no-one at CCP really cares about this issue. All the marketing possabilities drained from it now and EveTV proving to be a money trap now or something??
ANY kinda clarification on peoples questions or even the vaguest of communication from anyone at CCP would be greatly appreciated. Have I mention recently I've got an Impoc killmail |

Hi everyone. My apologies for the late reply.
The tourney has been rescheduled to 31. August running to 10. September.
Depending on how many teams will sign up preliminary rounds will be held the week leading up to the 31. August.
Alliances now have the option of championing or representing an empire faction, Amarr, Caldari, Gallente or Minmatar. That faction will then pay half of the signup fee. If the winners are championing a faction, that faction will reward the winner in some way. The cost of entering is two billion ISK, half of which is paid for by the faction being represented.
SIGNING UP: To sign up, the Alliance executor must send an application to Woratome Kikawa of the Independent Gaming Commission. The application must state if the team is championing a faction. The signup fee must be sent to Woratome Kikawa along with the application.
REWARDS: For advancing from the first round, teams will be awarded 500 million ISK. For advancing from the second round, teams will be awarded 500 million ISK. For advancing from the first elimination round, a team will be awarded 1 billion ISK. For Advancing from the quarter final, a team will be awarded 1 billion ISK. For Advancing from the semi final, a team will be awarded 1 billion ISK. 3rd Place will be awarded 3 billion ISK. 2nd Place will be awarded 7 billion ISK. 1st Place will be awarded 14 billion ISK.
Total monetary awards given. 1st place, 18 billion ISK total. 2nd place, 11 billion ISK total. 3rd place, 6 billion ISK total. 4th place, 3 billion ISK total. 5th to 8th place 2 billion ISK total. 9th to 16th place 1 billion ISK total. 17th to 32nd place 500 million ISK total.
Next Sunday I would like to meet all of you on Sisi for a discussion and some test fights. We will use EVE voice if possible. I need to confirm this with Sharkbait to see if Sisi will be available at that time. If you would like to take part on Sunday, please see if you can form up a squad and some thought out setups which in your opinion could be a win button. We will then have some fights between squads and have a discussion afterwards. More on this tomorrow.
Regards,
Nova

How uninspiring!
The ISK isnt really very much, and most importantly, it entirely lacks the awesome factor of the cool ships. People really craved them. If they were too expensive, make faction BCs or new unique cruisers/frigs... ISK isnt unique or special.
I wont be competing this time, as the rescheduled dates mean I will have no internet access... but already this lacks the appeal of the third tournament anyway. Whoever decied to reschedule, I DO NOT thank you!
I think GM Nova, you might want to consider posting the updated stuff a little more prominently as well? Its really not long to go, and you're posting without gold bars in a little thread.... news item?

thanks for the reply Nova, but you still leave a lot of questions and suggestions unanswered.
Is there plans to allow warping inside arena?
Are you planning on allowing boosters/rigs/cosmos?
The closer to the tourney you push the updates about things like this, the less time people have to prepare for it. Some of these things are also deciding factors for people when they are deciding whether to sign up or not.

Nova, are you kidding? These rewards are paltry at best, and have no awesome factor. Seriously, who thought this crap up?
This is getting worse the more I read about it, no wonder several alliances decided not to take part this time.
Seriously, instead of ignoring everyone's posts, maybe you should listen to them and realise that this needs to be changed very radically.

Wait so, if you are championing a race does everyone on your team need to fly the ships of that race? And if not, why do the championing thing? I guess it's cool for the roleplaying alliances, but for everyone else it seems like it will be frustrating to pick which race to champion. I guess it just seems kind of odd to me that a team of dudes championing Amarr might all be flying Minmatar ships.
I can appreciate the effort and thought that goes into planning a tournament like this. But overall the idea of championing seems somewhat out of place in an alliance tournament where it seems you should just be championing your alliance. Alliances that rarely have any racial affiliation because the game really doesn't have anything to encourage players who fly together to fly similar ships. Which of course is too bad, because I do at times wish Eve looked more like the videos... where you will see 5 cyclones flying together in a wing. That just doesn't happen in the game, or very rarely.
This post is negative though and I really shouldn't be. I am excited about the tournament though these new dates mean I will no longer have any chance of participating.

2 Billion to enter?
I am sure there are quite a few smaller, less well known aliances who would enjoy taking part in the tournament but for whom 2 billion is an excessive amount of isk.
Is this tournament not about giving all a shot, not just the immensly rich 0.0 alliances?
(ps. Note this is not a moan on behalf of my alliance because 1. I cannot speak on their behalf 2. I doubt if paying 2 billion would make that much of a dent in PL bank account 3. I am a noob who knows nothing and should stop sucking (Copyright-Shamis Orzoz)
