Greetings, everyone!

Thank you all for your support for this event! So far, we have received a total of TWO teams signing up, meaning they're guaranteed to win first and second place unless more challengers show up! Surely making credits couldn't be THIS easy??

On to the update- I've received questions and comments about the format of the tournament and would like to update the rules as below:

Other rules/restrictions/information:
- Duels and Spars to take place either in Arena events (FFAs or Rampages) or non-Arena locations as agreed to between contestants.

- (new rule in case open area duel or Arena Event) - No outside interference allowed. And no resurrecting of clones/bodies allowed - each participant only has one life per match

- No class combination restrictions (I've received one comment that two BEASTS may be overly powerful in this format, but this will continue to be allowed unless more votes against it are received among the participants)

- You may change classes BETWEEN fights (not DURING fights)

- No COSMPIERCER POWERS ALLOWED

- Scoring and advancement of teams are yet to be decided until we have a final tally of teams in the mix. To keep everyone on the same page, depending on the teams we could have either of the following formats:

i) Round Robin - each match up is best of 1. Scoring will be based on how many people left alive in your team. At the end of a full rotation of fights, and players will move on to Best-of-3 elimination rounds in winners and losers pools.

ii) Straight to Eliminations - each match up will be Best-of-3, and match ups will be randomly picked from the master pool. If you lose a round, you will be out of the tournament immediately.

Reminder:
DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATION IS Starsday in the 3rd week of Starmourn, 961 A.E.
(//That should be 20 Dec 2020, Sunday 0000 hrs GMT), so please continue to register by messaging me your team details in the following format: TEAM NAME, Team members, MIL bracket.

For more information on the original announcement, please read NEWS READ PUBLIC 391

Thank you for time again, and please let me know if you have any feedback or questions on the tournament!
