Maybe I missed it....

Does this team tournament require us to follow the 3/3/3/3 format?

If not, hahahahaha, good stuff.

12 man drops require 3/3/3/3 for non premium versions. This one sets tonnage limit, but rules beyond that are whatever the drop lead wants.

And this, ladies and gentlemen is what MWO should have been all about from the start. Better late than never. Regardless of the delay, this is a great move forward!

Tonnage limits will make sure that you don't have nothing but assaults

There needs to be an EU division! Plenty of EU teams knocking around that would probably jump at the change considering this is an official PGI tournament.

Hire some EU PGI guys to monitor it.

Not bad I approve even if im not participating (Never been a big tournament guy, last tourny-anything I was in was mechwarrior 4's tournament to win a copy of MW4:Mercs, and lost two rounds in to a chicken LRMboat timberwolf pilot that killed me once then ran away the entire match till time out.)

A year or so too late. Lobbys should have been job number 1.

time to find 14 friends

Wait..... They have to be friends ?

[meteorol]

I tried to apply with my team, consisting of no one but me.
Sadly, Russ rejected me.
Said they already obtained the T-shirts and he doesn't know what to do with the 14 that would remain.

Greetings all,

We indeed need some clarification about this
"We will provide all Team Captains with Premium Time to facilitate custom options in the Launch Module."

How will this be administered?
Will the Captain be issued a separate Premium time account?
- I would not like to burn through time I'm saving for future CW. How will that 'sponsored time' be granted?

Need a Dev. or Niko to respond about this.

Update: Answered in the FAQ section:
Q: Team Captains will be given Premium Time to facilitate the Launch Module Custom Options. Does this mean that Team Captains must "Activate" their Premium Time Bank.
A: Team Captains will be required to "Activate" their Banked Premium Time in the client.
Please do not apply as a Team Captain if you are not willing to enable your Banked Time.

New question for the Dev.'s:
Q: Due to the special circumstances of the tournament requiring 'Premium Time', can those that are saving there time have a 'suspend' option enabled to turn their time back off, after this event?


Note:
Matches are to be scheduled on the hour or half hour within the bracket times.
- In order to facilitate live-streaming and commentary.

I'm assuming there will be some form of time delay on the streaming of the event?

It's in the FAQ. You'll have to activate banked time.

[WVAnonymous]

Anyone Team Captain needs a utility in-fill, PM me.

I have every tonnage of mech except 95, and if you really need it, I'll master a Banshee before the tournament.

[Wispsy]

alright guys. Now its time for what we all do best. Complain more. Begin the QQ'ing like you normally would. Also looking forward to the tourny

[Leartes]

I can't believe it, the first time they make something worthy of the name tournament people complain that it is for groups. Guys this is the most awesome thing ever.

It doesn't matter that I solo drop. In mwo I'm not a competitive player. It is a team game and if you drop solo like I do, then you are not competitive either.
Can't expect to win the international in dota2 or world championship in football either if you are a solo player. But you can expect to get awesome streams and vids to watch out of it.
