Zoom please put Omega back on the map place it in between the Alpha 1s make 3 tps go to the spectator part from the 3 alpha 1 terminals, place a tp on the spectator platform that jumps to the two starting gates.

I would really like to run a tournament that can be watched by all. Where the participants don't have to worry about setting up overview to ignore the fans, Also would like to run one where explosion damage will matter, with out having to guard the participants, fans and myself.

Plus with the TPs in place your making traveling a little bit easier. Win Win

So my little birds are telling me some of the noobs want to have another crack at a tournament.

Here is my thing a few people wanted teams last time some only wanted solo, and still some whispered of a full on corp vs corp eve style tournament. My question is how many people are wanting to do the 1 v 1 how many want and are willing to do a 3 v 3 and how many want me to make a point system and get a full on corp vs corp tournament.

Problems with 1 v 1 is bot types/items limited to what ever is agree upon normally assaults and then comes the problems with EP dont get me started on all the PMs I got last time.

Problems with 3 v 3 bot types again but in a different way whats allowed whats considered OP and not. If we do mechs will every team come with tyranos mk2.

Problems with Corp vs Corp... Same problem perp has had for the past years population how many corps have items and bots to throw in to a tournament? (2-6 hmmm really interesting) and then theres the points system to think of.....

Ok enough negativity who wants me to run a tournament again?

So here is my idea based off of an EVE points bracket corp tournament.
Teams get 100 points to work with, certain bot types are limited to 1 or 2 hulls per team, and teams can nominate a flagship and pilot pair but that will come later.
Points system every bot has a worth:
Arkhe & Light indy 1 pt
Light bots/mk2 indy lights & sequer 2 pts
mk2 lights and sequer mk2 4 pts
Assaults and light ewar 7 pts
Indy mech 8 pts
mk2 assaults and mk2 light ewar 10 pts
mk2 indy mechs 12 pts
Hmech indy 15 pts
Mk2 Hmech indy/kain/Artemis 20 pts
Mech Ewar 24 pts
Tyranos 26 pts
mk2 kain/artemis 30 pts
mk2 mech Ewar/Gropho 32 pts
Seth/Mesmer/Tyranos mk2 33 pts
mk2 heavys 37 pts
Bot type limits:
Mk1 Mechs 2 of each type limit. ie 2 artemis or 2 kains
Mk2 Mechs and all Heavys including mk2 1 per type per team.
Ewar mechs including Mk2 1 per type per team.
Indy Mech and Heavy mechs limited 2 total per team.
More rules:
All mods allowed all items and ammos allowed
Flagship- Flagship is the teams mascot(captain or FC what ever) if the team nominates a Flag ship that bot will not count towards the limit number of that type of bot but will still cost same points. Catch is if that team has a Flagship the person nominated can not swap bots only fits if there team advances. Flagship and pilot must be present for all fights of that team during the tournament. Flagship and pilot must be announced before the tournament begins. Ie. Kanogi will Flagship a Mesmer mk2 rules say only one heavy of that type but as it is the flag ship Mongolia can bring his Mesmer mk2 as well.
Determining the winner:
Fights last 10 mins winner will be last team standing or team with most points still on field
If after 10 mins no winner can be determined due to tie 5 mins first blood will be in effect. Essentially during first blood first team to score a kill after 10 mins wins.
My Idea for this hinges solely off being able to use the Omega island that the Devs made for their tournament. Barring that I would like to run a smaller version with only mechs and smaller I have to work out a point system for that.
Any other Ideas out there throw them up
I'm looking at next month to host the tournament will need prizes to be acknowledged in advance or we will have a buy in for contestants then a 70/20/10 split for prizes.
