Is there going to be a ban on PPC boats?
Also how will the location of the duel be decided? A closed environment (eg ctiy) would be much more beneficial to a light/medium/heavy that to an assault

[DOTSGEMINI]

I would like to a part of this. However, there was no starting time provided in the OP. I need a time to go off before committing

[On1m]

The start time is 3 pm pacific time or 6 pm eastern.

[DOTSGEMINI]

So Five CST. I cant make it as a result.

Best of luck to the MechWarriors who are participating!

No, but the tonnage cap is 80 specifically to prevent Stalkers & Highlanders.

Given we cannot control the map, we will be assigning targets before the drop (Name & Mech), it will be up for the combatants to locate and destroy their selected target.

Good, my 8Q cheese is ready.
Say i situation like this happens. An 8Q (or any ppc boat) gets paired with something lighter or brawl-ly on river city. The Aws pilot decides that the best course of action is to camp the clear water area behind the citadel. If the lighter (or a brawler) mech tries to close he's dead. Nobody wants to move. What then?

The fight will be forced by a referee or both combatants will face disqualification if they refuse to engage each other. The player that has done more damage will win the match in the event time runs out, as long as one section of the target has been destroyed (to prevent "Spider tagging" where they fire a single PPC and hide the rest of the match.)

Looks like a fun tournament, thanks for setting this up. I`ll sign up under the light category, jenner chassis representing Luna Wolves. Thanks for the heads up in our recruitment thread by the way, a couple other of my clan mates may sign up as well.

The 8Q boat wins in that situation.
Will we know the chassis of our opponent before the match so we can prepare?

Your next opponent will be listed on the bracket before you drop, yep. You should have a moment to reconfigure weapons, or swap variants, before the round begins. Again while we are locking pilots to one chassis, they may change variants between drops at their own discretion.

Not sure if I'm busy on Friday Saturday so I can't sign up yet, but this is a great idea. My roommate and I have been talking about setting stuff like this up but thought it would be hard to get people to go along, organize, etc. It's good to see you guys taking the initiative to do so, and that people are game for it. Kudos my mechwarrior peers.

I'll sign if I get a formal invitation from the organizer himself, in which case I'll appear as a special guest.
