This championship is open, and teams from other countries can also participate, but battles will start according to the US prime-time.

im sure you can sign up if you want to play at 3am, just like americans were free to play in the last championship over several weekdays mid-afternoon.

Yeah times are not good for EU players. I'm curious whether or not you will get full 32 teams :P And then it will be interesting to see the best american player teams.

Read the regulations.

3. Teams can consist of tanks of different nations.

there's no real difference between weekday noon and 3am for those of us who work, unfortunately. the only decent time that would allow both EU and US would be weekend EU evening/US day.

I can not understand the purpose of this at all,why make another championship with basically the same rules as the ongoing Leagues? wouldn`t it have been better to wait for the leagues to finish and then host this?

Or at least make it so that your only allowed to drive american tanks etc?to make it in some way different?

Would have liked to join this but already caught up in 2 leagues.

Indeed this seems to have happened to all of us in "pending" except 1stAD. Need a warning, clearer directions and/or the inability to even apply without 20 members. Now we're all stuck in there. A mod/admin/whoever can needs to fix this.

These are two different events. Batte League matches won't be played during Championship.

Did you read the manual?

In case you have already submitted the lineup of the team, which wasn’t completely formed, for confirmation, you won’t be able to withdraw the application and finish forming the team via the registration functional. Therefore, first form the team completely, then, hand in the application for confirmation.

I've changed status to "forming" this time. Read carefully.

When you say Friday/Saturday and such, which timezone "day" are you going by. Is it Friday GMT at 0300 (and thus, for me in EST, Thursday night) or what?

Hello to whoever is in charge of running the US Open Championship,

I have been trying for several days to get on a team to compete.  Most require clan membership or speak the native language of the team which happens to be non-US.  I find both of these points interesting since this game is still in beta and I am still currently beta testing it and also beta rules call for information exchange to be in English.

I finally find a team that does not have these requirements and has an opening for me to join.

The problem is when I go to "Participate" and verify that I am signed in so I can join this team.  I see no JOIN button there.
I already have the captain's password to JOIN.  I just can not see the same button the other teams have.

Team is: 3rd Army

Thank You for Your Help,


***Update - was able to Join with: Decimus for the US Open Championship*** :Smile-playing:

I have been trying to get help with the 3rd Army registration to make sure myself and others could be added to the roster.
Past experience is once the teams are full that's it.  And also that once the bell has toll the registration is over.
I missed the EU Championship by 2 hours due to the registration filling days prior to ending.
I saw earlier that the Battle Leagues closed 0730 the final day of registration.
*** I feel bad for 3rd Army and pray that they are not short due to me acting accordingly to the writing on the wall. ***  :Smile-hiding:
