If you all need an extra stream when I'm not actively in the fight you have this American who is more than willing to pitch in with my twitch stream.

I made an account on the tournament bracket website you used last time, if you're using it again I can add at least one Isengrim team.

Also, in the Viking Lance Tournament there were, I think, a total of 16 teams fighting who considered themselves FRR. You've mentioned here 12 from each House, so is it first come first serve? Or will units be restricted to the amount of teams they can enter?

Or..something else?

I believe some of the units from the last tournament would fit in other brackets with this expanded format. The 2 DHB teams come to mind first. Then there's the question of SoR. I believe we are technically a mercenary company in FRR employ, not a house unit. I'll just watch for a while and let the occifers sort this stuff out.

Any more info on this Tourney yet? We have players who want to participate in some of the upcoming events, we just need to know when and at what time they'll be hosted - which is the determining factor whether or not most of us can sign up.

I am 90% sure that it will be held on several weekends in may.
We haven´t decided on the exact dates yet, but you will have all the informations you need when we open the registrations.
Right now we are assessing how many people we have for the organisation team. We will have to enlarge it quite a bit compared to our 6 guys or so from the VLT.
For example, we will need 8 people for each qualification group we have. We need to hold at least two of them simultaneously, but the more the better. If we get the tourney full we will have 144 matches in qualification and 50 in the elimination rounds after all.

[Richard Warts]

Damn, that's a lot of people. If it's held after the 19th I know I won't be able to attend but I'll make sure we have some guys out there to represent us regardless.

[Sarsaparilla Kid]

Hopefully the Launch Module will be in place by then, if you're looking at May.

[Klappspaten]

As far as I know they are aiming to release it at the end of april, which is really short. But we want to get the tourney out of the way before clanmechs are released, without knowing how they actually work we can´t even think of implementing them into the ruleset.

I'm willing to give a hand if needed. Talk to you soon on ts.

[Sephyr]

The "Mechanized Hussars" Lance will also take part in this tourney.

Better watchout as I dance like a bee and stings like a butterfly!

You are not afraid of me!

And

I'm gonna get cored soon!


(Can't come up with more threatening insults to throw at you)

[Klappspaten]

We have decided on the estimated dates of the tournament!
Please be aware that those dates might be subject to change, depending on several premises we can not control, like the timely release of the launch module.

First weekend of qualification:
Friday 09th May 2014
Saturday 10th May 2014

Second weekend of qualification:
Friday 16th May 2014
Saturday 17th May 2014

Third weekend of qualification:
Friday 23rd May 2014
Saturday 24th May 2014

Elimination rounds and finals:
Friday 30th May 2014
Saturday 31st May 2014


Each team will only be required to be present for about two hours at ONE of the days of qualification.
In case you get to the elimination rounds you will need to be present for the whole duration of the elimination games as long as you stay in the tournament.

If we get an overwhelming response we might add further dates!

[Jarl Dane]

Are you using the same website as before for the brackets?

[Klappspaten]

For the qualificationgroups we will not use any bracket system because there is none that properly supports the points we need and want to award.
For the elimination rounds we will probably use binarybeast again, it worked well in the finals.

[Jarl Dane]

Alright, cool.
I submitted two lances/teams.

If you need more lances just let us know.

[Sgt Helmet]

Are the elimination rounds best out of 1 or something "not so deadly"?

[Klappspaten]

If we get completely full we will have 50 matches in the elimination rounds with only single elimination.

It really depends on how many registration we get and how well the launch module works.
I could imagine to make the first round of the elimination rounds as a best of three and then switch to sudden death.
We will see about that.

[Sgt Helmet]

Well no matter what, most likely the best team will win

For some reason I got the idea that there would be 2 groups of 6 teams in the qualifiers per faction, with 2 going through. But I red the first post again.... thanks for the clarification.

[Klappspaten]

Yeah we thought of 6 team groups, but that would be 480 matches in the qualifiers alone IF we get the tournament full.
Its basically a size issue.

We might change it though, depending on the ammount of registrations we get.
