January 20th we held the 1v1 Tournament and it was an amazing show of generosity and sportsmanship among all of the competitors, viewers, and everyone involved overall.

We'd like to especially thank the streamers for stepping up to help us make this what it is: xImpalerX, NuttyRat, RJBass, and Starwolfe. Without them we couldn't have done anything even close to this. Also a huge thank you to Bombadil for dropping in on all of the streams and carpet bombing them with 1000MC giveaway codes.

And another huge thank you to both PGI and Harebrained Schemes for providing the prizes for the main event, and the door prizes that we held the "callout" matches to give away.

It was a helluva good time last night... 40-50 people in TS...couple hundred watching the streams. Hats off to Impaler, Starwolfe, Nuttyrat and RJBass3 for the combined streaming/casting experience they put together to broadcast this event. Banestorm for all those great clip highlights.. The casting commentary from RJ, Nutty and starwolfe's streams was great. Impaler brought it all together on one stream.. It was highly entertaining.

I forgot one very important note:

There will be no members of 6of6 competing in these events, we are NOT ELIGIBLE for any of the prizes we've been offered.

[Safety Seth KGB]

Greeting Mechwarriors,
I am the one and only Safety Seth. I cannot offer thanks enough. Moments like these leave the grace of tongue lost for expression. Know that my family, my pregnant wife Tamra (Freebirth scum I know ), my 12 year old son Raven, who loves the RVN-3L, Nyxxie my 6 year old daughter, and myself are humbled at such a thing. Thank you so very much.

[ccrider]

Lemme pass this around to my guys and see if we can't get a few teams together to help you out. Good cause and good on you guys for helping out one of your mates. O7

[Asym]

I'll inform BR who are mostly in WoW at the moment.

[DEWu42Zero]

We are truly grateful for your support and willingness to take your time to look out for the little guys. To all of you pilots, we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield, fight with honor and die well, THANK YOU!!!

[Mycroft000]

First prize listings have been added to the main post.

[C H E E K I E Z]

What are the rules/guidelines for the 1v1 tourny? is it open weight/any mech? a certian tonnage?

[Mycroft000]

For the 1v1 there are no tonnage restrictions, no consumables restrictions, no equipment restrictions. The only rule is you have to remain in the same mech from your first match to your last.

[Mycroft000]

Just added a photo of the prizes given to us by Harebrained Schemes to give away through the tournament.

[Safety Seth KGB]

Already I have seen the interest in these events bloom. I have showed my son Raven and he is now after me to get him a computer to be able to come and play as well. We are all deeply touched at the support thank everyone on the MWO community again form myself and family.

[Q]

Just caught wind of this. I'll see who I can drum up.

[Aylward]

Have already donated and will bring as many HeadHunters to these as i can. Hope you get back on your feet there asap !! Mech pilot homes have to be taken care of while were away fighting for the known universe

Went thru a house fire like this myself just a couple years ago.. I know how it is. Glad everyone was safe..

[R A V 3 N]

Donated.

[Q]

Is there a schedule somewhere other than the dates for each event? This thread could use a bump anyways.

The tentative plan is 5pm-9pm Mountian Time each Saturday.

[Safety Seth KGB]

Thank you once again everyone here that is helping.

[Mycroft000]

So I'm looking through what I can see on the GoFundMe page and I see what could potentially be 9 entries into the events, but so far have only received 1 official entry. I love the generosity I'm seeing, but please enter the tournament!

If we don't have 12 entries by Friday 01/19/2017 24hrs ahead of the current schedule, then we will probably delay by one week to try to get more people in and participating.

[Q]

To be honest Mycroft I don't think you guys got a lot of coverage. I barely found you last Saturday and unfortunately I'm unavailable this Saturday (the 1v1 tourney looked fun).

There are so many LRM, CW, and MG posts it's hard to be visible!
