Your avatar works perfectly for that post.

Sorry for the tier changes, we decided to test a new format for future events.

judging from your "tier 8 for all tanks", my gw type e is welcome here....

tier 8 arties are allowed?  ouch, the deaths will be quick and painless, at least.

This is not very clear. Are SPGs allowed or not??

How can you get 42 pt limit with tier VIII tanks...doesn't add up?  5 tanks and 2 pts left over?

if you want to bring 7 players you will need to tier down a bit.

SPG are allowed ?

well.... it does say "all tanks"

Not clear if tier 8 is top limit or required...

Not clear if SPGs are allowed...

Not clear if TDs are allowed...

I have 2 questions:

1. Is downranking allowed? It says "tier 8 for all tanks" but if that is the case then there are 2 extra unused points.

2. Are we allowed to post here looking for a team to join?

And lord_farquad is that all "tanks" or all vehicles? Could be interpreted either way...

It's pretty clear, actually...

"...based on the below tier limits" means *up to and including* Tier 8 (i.e. it's not mandatory to bring tier 8, but represents the upper limit).

"...for all tanks" means *all* tanks across all classes of tank in the game (don't get hung up on different terminology for TDs and SPGs; they're still "tanks" in this context).

Teams will need to think about their desired strategy and make adjustments to the number of players they actually field in a battle, running in their chosen mix of tanks, whilst making sure that they do not exceed the limits that have been imposed for this tourney. The "limits" presented above (i.e. 7 player limit, tier 8 tank limit and 42 point tierage limit) are simply maximums that teams must not exceed.

cant we only had team members from one clan if our name has our clan tag in it >.>

Nope, that's totally up to you.

Edited by Extremist_Pain, Jul 13 2012 - 04:37.

How many players are allowed in reserves?

3, as stated in the registration.

By the way, I have received a lot of awesome notes the past few weeks of people telling me how much they enjoy the tourneys. Thanks to everyone who sent one, it's always nice to hear!
