Open registration, what does that mean?
-This means that this is not a unit or faction based event. The sole purpose of this event is to encourage everyone to run with their friends from different units and to have a whole lot of fun gaming with people we do not usually get to play with.
So what is a team?
-A lance is a four man lance consisting of 1 light, 1 medium, 1 heavy, and 1 assault. There is NO weight restriction but you are only able to bring one of each weight class to the board.
So how does this work exactly?
-Each round consists of three matches in private lobbies on maps to be determined close to the time of the tournament. The best of three wins that match up. Once all teams have played at this level the next opponent will be announced.
Since everyone will be dying to know exactly what is 'counted' for points in winning this tournament it is very simple.
Your lance wins.
Each win counts as point. A tie counts as no points for either team. A loss does not win a point either. This is intended to be straight up and fun.
Can teams have a substitute since it might be hard for some players to commit to this event for the whole duration?
-Absolutely! There will be a few ORMC members able to fill in extra slots as needed and I am sure there will be others. Please keep in mind that the winning team is the team that will be awarded, so simply the four winning members. Any sticky issues that come up at the end will be handled at that time with calm discussion among those involved.
How exactly are we doing this? Does everyone need premium time?
-We will be doing this in private lobbies. This means that realistically only one member of each team will need premium time in order to command each side. This keeps us out of the confusion of sync dropping with pugs (anyone else remember those days?) or anything else and lets each team drop all three of their matches one right after the other and keep things moving.
Alright I might be interested....when is this thing? How do we register?
This tournament starts on Saturday March 28 at 2pm EASTERN standard time and Sunday March 29th at the same time. If needed this might be moved earlier for European teams but that is tentative. This means that all teams need to get in contact with ORMC members or reply directly to this thread or contact myself FaythoftheLost either through the game or teamspeak. Please register no later then Friday March 27 by 2pm eastern time please. That gives us just enough time to set everything up for the next day.
So what do we get?
-Beyond bragging rights and pleasure of knowing you've kicked some serious mech? Each member of the winning team will get a $5 Steam Card. Not seem like good enough bait? That's okay! There's a lot of us looking forward to stepping into the arena!
Can I volunteer?
-YES! PLEASE YES! -coughs- I mean yes if you feel like you do not have the time to participate in the tournament on a team we would love any assistance you'd like to provide with helping during the tournament. This ranges from keeping track of scoring, answering questions, and helping people keep their matches going.
So you think your team has what it takes?
