Congratulations to the first 32 teams drawn for Alliance Tournament X and good luck to those bidding for a spot in the upcoming auctions. Looking forward to a spectacular event this year by CCP Loxy and the AT team and can't wait to see the player commentators and participating alliances in action.

Maybe FIFA could have done a worse draw procedure but I doubt it.


You didn't know who was in the helmet last year and yet I don't remember you complaining. Interesting.

The draw was monitored by the Alliance Tournament team and every team who applied and were eligible were in the hat.

could you confirm goonswarm was actually in the hat and mittens didn't send 20 plex to the wrong alliance again

Random its so stupid system.
Many real cool and interested in pvp alli does not have slot. But noname and low-pvp-skilled ali get it.
AT should be an example of an elite, skilled and beautiful pvp, and not a place for advertising alliances, who does not even have kb.

So as it turns out, Purple requires two colours to make, not 1.

Although I cannot say more as I have been told not to post here and get all stroppy. (Or tweet for that matter).

Stop giving financial intel about my allies.

Fix POSes.  Every player should want one (even if all players can't have one).

Red Federation and Blue Republic share a common CEO so they are unable to field separate teams as per our new rule of no B or C teams. RvB will remain a single entity for this tournament and this fits with their theme of running 'Purple' during war situations.


From the rules;

3. All competing pilots must have been members of the alliance for which they are competing, and be a member of that Alliance by downtime on May, 05, 2012.
4. All alliance members are eligible to compete in any match in which their alliance is taking part, subject to all applicable rules; teams do not have to remain the same between games.

In relation to rule 3; Can you please confirm that this applies the same to RvB as it does to everybody else? What I mean is that somebody that switched from Red to Blue or vice versa after this date is not eligible to compete.

And in relation to rule 4; That any one team fielded by RvB during any one match 'under the Purple flag' during the alliance tournament will consist exclusively of either only Blue or Red pilots?

I'm bringing this up because since all other players in other Alliances are subject to these rules and making an exception for RvB would reek quite heavily of favouritism from CCP.

This draw was obviously rigged, unfair, and stacked. I know this because [my favorite alliance] didn't get drawn from the hat while noname nobody alliance [insert alliance] was picked and because [insert alliance I hate] is in cahoots with CCP. Because of this egregious miscarriage of justice I will now [cry/tweet angrily/scam people in Jita/make a Threadnaught].

It was fun watching the video, although you probably should have also posted an extended version where you show that all the names actually got into the hat.

Anyways though, looking forward to the tournament!

They are being viewed as a single entity but those rules were in effect prior so should remain and not effect their team compositions as they have the exact same eligible pilot pool to choose from.

The matches may consist of red or blue pilots and we're working out the details.

I would love an explanation of the favoritism charge because were that the case we'd have just let them compete as two separate teams.

We're not going to cater to the ridiculous. All of the names went into the hat and that's how it is and all we have to say on the subject.

Perhaps I phrased my post poorly, but it was intended to be humorous, not to actually make an accusation of bias or rigging the draw. I suggested the extended video showing names going into the hat because it would not have been difficult and would have firmly put to rest any suspicious of interference by CCP in what is a big event for many pilots.

I think he was commenting on the cookie cutter responses of some because their favorite team wasn't picked.

Sorry didn't mean to appear to take offense and I understand your perspective but I really don't see the value in increasing our efforts and work simply to appease the tinfoil hat crowd and that part of the comment wasn't really meant towards you. I'm bad at that.
