In 2015 the Blue Vengeance will hold its 2nd Lance Championships Tournament. Since the game has changed a lot we will have a completely new set of rules for this tournament.

There will be no restrictions to the loadout your mechs can bring to the battlefield, however there will be 4 seperate weightclasses. Each team has to compete in each weightclass, but you have to chose one of them as your primary in which you fight in your qualification. In these qualification matches matches we will divide the teams into an amateur and a pro que, which will fight in seperate groups, but come back together in the finals. Also, the points you achieve in qualification will have an effect on wether you make the finals or not.

The 4 weighclasses are:
1. - light - between 110 and 150 tons
2. - medium - between 170 and 210 tons
3. - heavy - between 230 and 270 tons
4. - assault - between 290 and 330 tons

In each weightclass you may chose to bring mechs from other classes, as long as you comply with the weight restrictions.
Every team may only use two strikes and two UAVs per match, cool shots are not limited.

The 4 best Teams out of each weightclass will reach the Championships.
Additionally the 4 Teams that do best overall will reach an additional Grand Championship.

Not kills, but destroyed tons will determine win or loss. There will be 1 point given for every ton you destroy, a Jenner would give 35 points and an Atlas 100 points. To encourage teams not to take the heaviest mechs possible the team with the lighter dropdeck will be given additional points in the amount of weight difference, wether they lose or win.
If Teams of different weightclasses meet a factor is added to the bonus points to prevent an autowin.

Example: In the Grand Championship an assault team fights against an medium team. First brings two Stalkers and two Orions, second brings four Shadowhawks. The assault team manages to destroy all 4 enemy mechs, but loses both Stalkers. Through destruction the assault team gains 220 points, while the medium team only gains 170 points. The medium team however is 100 tons lighter and gets additional 100 points for the weight difference and therefore wins with 270 over 220 points.

I want to start the Qualifications at the beginning of march and hold the Championships at the end of march, however that might change, since I´m in the early stages of planning.
The qualification matches will be determined by lottery, the teams will then have time to organize and meet with their opponents until the end of the qualification phase. All qualification matches have to be reported by BOTH teams with screenshots.
If there are complaints about rules violations the qualification match has to be repeated with an independent judge, either me or another BV member, present. If this is not possible both teams get no points for the match.
Every team will have to do 4 qualification matches.

Each team may consist of up to 6 pilots, which may only be in one team each.
To register send an email to solaris7lancechampionships@googlemail.com with the following information.
  • Name of the team
  • Pilots in the team
  • contact person and contact information
  • primary weightclass
I will hold an Q&A session before the tournament to give you the chance to adress me with questions you might have, regarding the rules and/ or whatever.
Since I´m in an early stage of planning the rules stated here might change until the beginning of the qualification rounds.

No, Clan mechs will not be allowed. Since there are still some balancing issues I can not foresee the effect Clan mechs would have on the tournament, therefore I can not let the players use them.
Im working on a reworked version of the ruleset, which hopefully will be a bit more structured. Should be here in a few days, including a definitive timeframe for the tournament.

No, but we will try to hold it at a time that alows EU and NA players to participate. It will probably be an Saturday evening in the EU and late Sunday morning to noon in the US.

If I am not mistaken most NA teams that participated last year had to start around 10 or 11 am on sunday.

When Sign-ups will be closed? Any specific date, or just when You get enough teams to play Tournament?
If EU team meet EU team can they schedule their match other day than saturday (not everyone can do weekend plays)?

For personal reasons I have to postpone the tournament for a while. I am still intent on holding it, but right now I am unable to point out a specific date.
Please keep an eye on this thread, as soon as I got my **** together I´m going to post a definite date here.
