Thank you

one thing triggy - as the organiser and the person seeing everyones fleets shouldnt you stay out of the tourney? i means thats the usual thing in any competition, the organisers dont or cant take part as they must be impartial.

 

[Triggy]

katadder's kindly volunteered to be the impartial receipient of all fleet lists (as I'm entering, just to keep things impartial).

Just to confirm - it's 5 FAP at Raid PL, with one bonus ship for the semi-final and final that can be anything up to Battle PL. Fleet lists to be PM'd to katadder before June 16.

It says 5 Fleet Allocation Points in the pack ---

Are those Raid? Battle? Other?

 

[katadder]

Raid as triggy pointed out. apart from one battle choice for if you get to the semis.

 

[JayRaider]

[katadder]

Same here, I need to think it over

I'll prolly play a mixed league fleet tho

 

[steelvow]

I might be interested, but i'll wait until i've finished moving to confirm it.

 

[Triggy]

Cool, just let katadder know as soon as you can confirm

 

[Triggy]

I've chosen my fleet and whether it's silly or not, it'll probably please Da Boss

What are teh planned dates and times for the tournament? I have not seen them posted anywhere. I'd like to join, but my schedule is quite busy this summer.

 

[katadder]

the tourney is supposed to start on 16th of june. you wil have 5 games to organise yourself over the 1st area of time (which from triigys wording I am not sure if its 5 weeks or 10) against the other members of your group. the 1 and 2 of each group then go into a semi-final, then final stage which has 2 weeks each if i read right again organise between yourself and your opponents so its very flexible.
