On the weekend of June 7th & June 8th, RvB will be holding our very own tournament.
This tournament will focus on 5 man teams, flying no ships larger than cruisers. A tournament that will play to the strengths of RvB and is entertaining to you all.
The victors - and there will be many - will take home a share of around 18-20 BILLION ISK in prizes including ISK, PLEX, Ships & in game medals.
The details:
The tournament will be a double elimination format much like the NEO II & the SCL. This means that to get knocked out a team needs to lose two matches in the early stages rather than one, and makes for a more interesting format indeed. The tournament will be managed by me using challonge.com.
The finals will feature a best of 3 matches with the teams coming in on the winners bracket allowed to ban one ship type per match.
Sign up deadline has now passed (Downtime on 18th May), anyone who signs up now, will be classified as a standby. If needed I can assign them as a 6th man to a team just so they can be ready to help out if that team has a numbers problem on the day.
Yes, you have to be in RvB to take part.
