We are currently ranking over 155 pilots and have been running these Open to All .

When: 8:30 ct registration and rules introduction, 9pm CT - 11pm CT duels

The ONLY part of reg that you have to do is enter your name,email and password. You can do this in 2 min before your first drop if you like. The only other data entry involved is if you win a match. At that time you will have to pick the division it was in, the mech you brought and who you beat.

Medium: All Medium, All Weapons and Equipment
Heavy: All Heavy Mechs ,All Weapons and Equipment

Coming soon... Saturday League with a European accessible time-slot. tentatively 8pm BST
We are looking for a company interested in hosting this. MWO:Arena staff will provide judges to help train your own as well as rules and the MWOArena API for your website.

MWO:Arena Monday Night League hosted by cReddit on cReddit-mercs.teamspeak3.com
Rankings: http://www.credditmw...28/mwo-arena-ui

If your Pilot Name is not in the pilot drop downs on http://www.credditmw...28/mwo-arena-ui list then you need to register.
Register at: http://www.mwoarena....ccount/register

Rules
1. Your hosts are the final Ruling Authority during the drop.
2. Pilots that leave the Designated Arena Area for more than 10 seconds will be fired upon by all pilots.
3. Pilots that bring a Mech that is in violation of the drop restrictions will be fired upon by all pilots.

Grudge Matches may be exceptions to this rule , please ask your Host before the drop.

Non-Combatants that enter the Designated Arena Area will be warned and if the host deems necessary will be fired upon by all pilots.

Casters and Streamers may be exceptions to this rule , please ask your Host before the drop.

How it works:
1. (2) full teams sync drop in CONQUEST mode (each with a designated Host).
2. The hosts designate one or more Arena Areas and pilots report to their assigned area.
3.The team that dropped on the LOWER BASE declares their first pilot to fight. The upper base team responds with their pilot name. After this the teams alternate declaring and responding.
4. The first match should start by no later than 13:00 Pilots running recording software or live streams should fight as early as possible.
5. Pilots gather around the perimeter of the Designated Arena Area and are expected to the be prepared when they are called in.
6. Hosts will announce the start time of the match and the starting positions. Pilots firing prior to the start time will be disqualified (within reason).
7. Matches End after 1:30 and the standing mech wins (or the one with the most health). An exception to this would be Concurrent Matches where the time can be extended to 3:00

All Mechs standing at the end of the last match are valid targets in a Free-For-All.

WINNERS (only) REMEMBER TO ENTER YOUR RESULTS

MWO:Arena Tips (Builds and Dueling)

Builds
1. Less Ammo. Most weapons will be fine with 2 Tons.
2. Less back armor. In most divisions you will be better off with more front armor since you are only fighting one enemy.
3. If possible optimize your DPS for 30-45 seconds without overheating.

Dueling
1. Torso Twist. Spread that damage.
2. Never Overheat. This will get you killed... quick.
3. Clear any preconceived notions of "good" v.s. "Bad" mechs. Some "useless" chassis excel at dueling.
4. Watch and learn. We have some great pilots, look for their strengths and note their weaknesses.
5. Be quick on the draw. Get the first hit in and you're ahead from the beginning.

Good Luck MechGladiators

Dueling is great fun, we've had duel nights running every Thursday for probably 3 months now in BWC, in addition to in house tournaments. As a matter of fact, our 2nd Trial of Bloodright is coming up in a couple of weeks, we expect about 60 competitors in the main brackets, plus roughly the same in the grand melee before the bracket fights.

Awesome! would you guys be interested in forming an MWO:Arena League or coming by on Monday and fighting in the cReddit Hosted one?
We have ~ 45 Pilots ranked in the cReddit arena (16-32 every week)
I designed the system to be hosted by any company as a private league on their website. you can just add a page or embed it in joomla or another framework. We can get you setup quickly if you are interested.

Come on by next Monday. creddit-mercs.teamspeak3.com 9pm CT - 11pm CT
You can join anytime or week, getting there a few min early helps to make sure you get into the first drop though.
The more the merrier. Our hosts have been doing this for 8 months.
This last weeks fights were intense.

I'm so very interested in this. I bet the atmosphere is electric during these fights. However, I can't do Monday nights, as I work. Are you guys thinking of adding anymore nights by any chance?

Ahhhh the registration is so tiresome and complicated... I dont have a smurfy acc nor do I want one. Why cant players just write here what mechs they're coming with? Instead of regging to 2 places.

Chavette,
I should have stated this in my post, and will update it now.

The ONLY part of reg that you have to do is enter your name,email and password. You can do this in 2 min before your first drop if you like.
The only other data entry involved is if you win a match. At that time you will have to pick the division it was in, the mech you brought and who you beat.

that is it.

I've only play part of one event, but in that couple hours I had the most fun I've had in this game since I started playing closed beta. The most surprising part was hearing some of the best play-by-play announcing I've heard anywhere in a long time. I'm hooked.

Devs, you should stop by and have a look.

That Heavy round fight against your A1 was one of the the most exciting fights I have had in a long time. I've re-watched it 3 times. You floated like a butterfly and stung like a splatcat. The fight where Vreckgar won with machine guns was insane!
