What time will the battles take place at?

"Rounds will begin at 6PM PST (9PM EST, 02:00 UTC) each scheduled day."

It's bold and bright red so you cant miss it. Apparently bigger and more red? is needed, maybe some giant arrows pointing to it.

Just for the Record, the rounds will start on Monday - (Australian time, at around 1200 aest)

This is right in the middle of the day for australians, if you are wanting more players you would need to place this tournament on the weekend

I assume the tournament page is still being created as I cannot locate it on the 'Tournament' page as of today (07Feb Aussie time).............

And my next dumb-ass question, I assume the number alongside the Tanks is the level Tier Tank we can use (eg. Heavy Tank - 8 means we have to select a Tier 8 Tank only?). Some people are saying that any 'Heavy Tank' is = 8 points, so they can use a Tier 10 Tank and say it is 8 'points', NOT a Tier 8 Tank!! Can this be clarified please?

A team must field a selection of tanks based on the below tier limits. Teams are also limited to a maximum total of 35 tier points.

Heavy tank - 8
Medium tank - 8
Tank Destroyer - 8
Light tank - 7
SPG - 6

The Sidi Bou Zid Post meridiem Challenge page is now live: http://worldoftanks....diem_Challenge/

Thanks mate, can you also clarify my modified post above regard Tier Levels as well please? Seems some people are "assuming" what they interpret?

Drover, on Feb 07 2012 - 01:03, said:

I'll clarify that in the rules, but it's the tier the tank is limited to. The tool is set to allow tier 8 maximum, and some types are further limited -- specifically lights to tier 7 and SPGs to tier 6.

Is is only one team per clan?

coRpS3, on Feb 07 2012 - 06:01, said:

No, Challenges are not limited in any way outside of the specified rules.

Do we have a player count requirement like in previous tournaments that had a 5 player requirement? Or can we bring what ever we want that fits in the 31 tier limit?

And you guys do realize with your OP T7 frenchies that they are going to destroy any T8s that will be brought in.

Edit, after thinking about it its not even worth entering this tournament unless you have enough players with T7 french light tanks. It will just be a waist of time.

ok so if i apply  to it under  treasure trove gaming would this not allow  all members of treasure trove to play as 1 team  this meaning treasure trove, treasure trove silver, and treasure trove crown.

This challenge has nothing to do with clans. You can call your team whatever you like (within the naming conventions) and invite whoever you like (5-8 players).

I can join to any team available..

EDIT: Getting a team ATM.
