Probably because they encouraged people to play mediums and LRMs hadn't been improved yet.


Yeah that too... Very hard to get good games in a light... Don't really want to go heavier... Hiaz..

Well... I don't really like the cut-off to prevent me from playing just because some other guys have a few hours head-start on me. It's not like I'm gonna somehow get an advantage from jumping in late.

Well, this tournament has been a let down before I even had a chance to play. I didn't realize I had to essentially RSVP to fight.

Bad show gents.

Question about the tournament rules...

Say you witnessed one of the top Tournament Players run and power down then disco when he was the last mech on the field... on more than one occasion... isn't that sort of gaming the system?

It, hopefully, prevents a death for him (assuming time runs out). Not sure whether that affects "The Formula" or not. It also, hopefully (assuming you can't find him), prevents other players who are competing for points within his own house from attacking him and getting points towards the tournament.

I believe this to be rather unsportsmanlike but would love some "official" input....

They changed the rules it's not relevant if he suurvives or not. Losing only gives 5 points and winning 20.

If Kurita doesn't at least top both Liao and the Rustlehawgs then all members of the Dragon must commit seppuku

I think you have to count for yourself this time ;(
Normally there was a counter under profile/stats/challenge.

I think the Opt-in system should be fine tuned in way that it provides more time to enroll (start Monday and end on Friday for example) and not allow enrollment during the tournament (otherwise, what's the point of Opting in). I was lucky to opt in, but for what I read, many were left out.

That and having an expanded list for all players and their scores. That should not be very hard to do.

As it's the best 10 games during the period that count, people who start the tournament late are at a disadvantage anyway. No reason to not allow Opt-in. Very short-sighted.

Do we know if the "10 matches for the cockpit hangy" can be played teamed, or do they also have to be solo? I'm aware that only solo drops count for scoring.
