Looks like a diversion from Ural Steel.
Also no specified prizes and when the battles are going to take place.
Please add more info. This seems disorganized. Please put some more time into this.

based on previous tournemant experiences:
your team will have to give enough info that the organizers can find each member in game
you'll have to be on a team to compete... there's typically a thread of folks looking to join a team, you can post there, or register your own team, and pick 19 other players to join you.
they will send you an invite to "special battle room" that is very similar to the company forming setup
your team will show up in the bottom, and the captain will move members up, and they will select their tanks (you usually have 15 minutes or more for this) Once a member is ready, they can close the special battle window, the match starts Wash, rinse repeat

From my reading of the rules, you can have a pure tier Four arty team.
Just imagine, 15 arty taking on 12 KV's!
A tanker's dream revenge on stat padding, kill stealing, camping Arty!

Sure if you want to directly randomly join a team without talking to anyone from that team, that's one option. But a recruiting / request to find a team thread is always useful to have.

Teams are usually made up of 14 people (at 60 points).
For every person you field under the full 14, you lose a point - so 13 players would be max 59 points, 12 players max 58 points... and so on.
I'm guessing, but that is the way they have always done it.

I don't really want to know your guesses about how it will work (however they are likely to be correct
)... i'd like to hear confirmation from the event organisers...'enough info' - that's not at all clear... for the Ural Steel event they needed to know extra details because they were going to be flying the winners to Moscow... its not at all clear what they need to know over and above what they already know when someone clicks to participate.
'on a team to compete'.... availability is the issue... if we don't know when the competition is its difficult for people to commit to taking part.

agreed. We(the players) Need to know:
What times you anticipate the Battles will take place
What dates you anticiapte the Battles taking place
and exactly what Information a team captain Needs to get from his/her individual members.
These are Essential Information Items.
