Therefore we still have 10 available slots for this years Alliance Tournament and will accept the first 10 correct registrations before a final closing date of Sunday June 24th. Any registration after this date will not count, and registration over the 10 remaining slots will not be accepted (applicants will be notified either way as soon as possible and we will announce we are full).
As we will not fill more than the 64 required teams for this Tournament no feeder rounds will be required. For the teams that have registered correctly and have sent additional PLEX for the silent auction; your additional PLEX will be returned as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for details on how teams can get Thunderdome access & a blog announcing the Alliance Tournament prizes soon!
AT is not rip, there was a terrible lack of advertising and planning. There was not much time given to register alliance. There was no advertising before 2018-05-18, and we only had from 2018-05-18 to 2018-05-27 to register.
If at least, there was a fixed day for Alliance tournament opening, subcriptions closing like holiday :
Opening : first monday of june
Sub close : …
Feeder start : …
Tournament start : …
Care to explain how you think the rule set this year is dissuading participation? Honestly curious.
I think there is probably more theory-crafting to do this year than ever given the limit 1 hull type, 3x bans, and fitting flexibility of the SOCT ships that enjoy a points reduction this year but I think the meta and comps will be fun. Anything is an improvement over drone swarms.
It brings down an iron fist on what you can bring, makes it needlessly more complicated and overall diminishes the spectacle of what the AT should be I think. Also having spoken to a few of the AT teams, not announcing what the prizes are is a big let down to them also.
