15.3~, am I allowed to use this set?

FUCK, This post was meant for the 1v1 tournamet!

How can they understand that u have like 16k or 17k ; i dont really think that they can check everyone's items one by one.

If there is another solution for that i couldnt get it because i just fuckin wake teh fuck up and started workin.

Are you planning a tournament after this one with main character allowed ?

Thanks for the response, sorry for posting in the wrong thread, not used to having so many different topics like this xD

Point 2 is really good, i like that there will be a human element to look into blatant abuse of the rules. Common sense rulings i guess.

Though i'm not sure allowing loompoints is consistent with the spirit of only allowing STF characters, i know it'd be harder to regulate, but a full set of loomed armour is a significant advantage, and not one i have the luxury of xD

Our/my wish is to be able to create tournament characters in the future it would be possible to play with no heirlooms. As it is now it's pretty much impossible to check.

Are you planning a tournament after this one with main character allowed ?

Yes, a smaller tournament with main characters are being planned.

According to the poll in this thread there was more in favor of STF's, that is why we are testing it now.

After both tournaments are done we can gather feedback and find out what we and the Community wants for the next major tournament.

Why a smaller one ?? It should be another tournament with the same rewards but different rules regarding the characters used! Still gonna try to find myself a good team to play with !

Also, will future "non official" tournaments (ex : Fallen League )  be rewarded by official rewards, or is it like before if it's not sponsorised by devs or the event team ?

Can't say I have an answer for that, since that question has never come up in our discussions (chadz gives the final 'OK' on all of these things.) Not that I want to keep Fallen or anyone else for that matter, from hosting their own events, but is there anything to be gained by hosting additional tournaments on non wse2 servers? The idea, is that there would be no reason to even think about hosting events elsewhere.

If you have an event prepared or are thinking about preparing an event, let us know. Send Nessaj, Bagge, Molly or Tuetensuppe or myself your ideas and what you've prepared so far, and if it's clear your serious about hosting the event, we'll attempt to figure out a way to get it to work on the official event servers.

That of course means too that we might support you with man power. Meaning helping out as referees, in the organization or - my speciality - making it public with proper advertisement across the EU server.

Matches will be 5-a-side, the team may only use a maximum of three infantry, two ranged, one cavalry and one horse ranged.
  Throwers counts as ranged.
  Horse Ranged counts as both cavalry and ranged.

Can we please remove the maximum cap for infantry? For ranged and cav I can understand the cap, but I fail to see the reasoning behind this.

Once you bring a ranged weapon, you are now a ranged character.

Both teams are granted 15 minutes to gather their

I'm a tad confused, you're saying I can go my normal 18/21 shielder build and bring rocks and be counted as a RANGED class? What is the purpose of limiting infantry.. To what length will you be considered ranged? Also obvious macroing?

A player in the team has to be apart of at least 50% of the matches in order to get a prize.

Also this rule, why would anyone join a team of 5 if they know they won't start?

The rule is in place to give dedicated archer/xbower a slot in the teams and a chance to participate. Otherwise there might be an exclusion of ranged players. I remember Bagge answering that particular question somewhere in more detail. Please have a look around if my answer is not satisfying as explanation.

Yep, stones are a throwing weapon and it would be a ranged character. I am unsure about smoke bombs tho Everything thrown or shot is classified as "range".
Since there is no real way to detect the use of macros, from my point of view, we will treat them as non-existent.
To avoid that people just idle a team and get a huge prize at the end, they have to actively participate in the tournament to qualify for the prizes. No prize-leeching basically.

I see (and maybe other scrubs) no chance in winning a matchup, since every team is gonna be a sweaty nerds who clear the opposing team within seconds if they're up against people with less than 2 yrs experience in this game
You could bring loomed items, right? A team then could go full loomed tincan and not get a scratch from most weps..

People might say; ''Yeah, but you do it for fun!'' no. theres no fun in getting wrecked by shielders like Cyber and HX like Love_More.

And will there be a good spot for people to see the fights? A tribune or somt.

you might think that I ''Hate'' but I just want justification

What do you want me to do? Boot people because they are too good?

Give it a shot, do it for fun! I assume you've never played any competitive matches in Warband, well this is your oppertunity to try it out and you might be suprised what teamwork can do. Personal solo-hero-skill aren't everything in matches!

I've been the officer in many NW matches when the commando lost his voice

The clan was quite small, and we had to fight the really organized ones (dont know them at the top of my head) and they had been training from when the mod came out more or less..

oh well, ill try to get in or substitute someone when they arent all there or somethin

[Renay]

Dunno if I'm blind, but I can't find the sign up deadlines for the teams. When are they?

Nevermind, found it. Maybe add it to the tournament rules thread as well.

Any restrictions on equipment or gold, on a STF character?
