EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Greetings fellow Capsuleers!

I apologize for the short notice announcement as we had wanted to get this out sooner, but were waiting for the AT XI rules to be released, after discussing it this weekend we are ready to make our announcement.

Captains looking at competing should send an EVEmail to Ben Booley or Seldarine as soon as possible to guarantee consideration.

So we will start with the rules and format changes below.

Rules and Format Changes

Our original rules can be found on the SCL tournament site, but we have not yet updated the Rules page to reflect our changes. This is something that is currently being worked on by our web admin member and will hopefully be updated soon.

First off, we will be mimicking the Alliance Tournament XI point set for the SCL4, they are located here: AT XI Rules

• Battleship, Pirate Faction - 20
• Marauder – 19
• Battleship, Navy Faction - 19
• Battleship - 17
• Black Ops Battleship - 17
• Command Ship - 16
• Strategic Cruiser – 16
• Recon Ship – 14
• Battlecruiser, Navy Faction – 14
• Battlecruiser (Including Gnosis) – 13
• Logistics Cruiser - 13
• Cruiser, Faction - 12
• Heavy Assault Cruiser - 12
• Heavy Interdictor – 12
• Tech 1 Support Cruiser - 10
• Cruiser - 7
• Bomber - 5
• Electronic Attack Frigate - 5
• Frigate, Faction - 4
• Assault Frigate – 4
• Tech 1 Disruption Frigate - 4
• Interdictor - 3
• Interceptor - 3
• Destroyer - 3
• Tech 1 Industrial Ships - 3
• Frigate - 2

Currently we will allow most (+4,5,&6%) implants as cost is non prohibitive on the test server, pirate implants will continue to not be allowed. This is subject to change as we figure out if CCP Fozzie will have the implant scanner updated for AT XI in time for SCL 4.

We will also continue to utilize CCP Fozzies awesome ability to increase TiDi for tiebreakers.

As well, we have increased the amount of teams from 8 to 10 in an effort to bring fresh teams into the competition and potentially shake up the meta.

As for the specific match rules:

Teams will be limited to TWO (2) of a given shiptype. This applies to specifically named ships only, and not ship hulls. For example, 2 Merlins, 2 Hawks, and 2 Harpies would be legal.

In an effort to limit the usage of tinkertanks we have elected to only allow one energy transfer array per team to be fit to a logistics hull only.

We feel these changes are an exciting addition to SCL4, both the viewers and competitors. And with the inclusion of the AT XI points should make for an exciting hybrid of the AT and SCL.

Sponsorship and Advertising

Interested in a commercial spot broadcasted to the masses during the SCL? Want our commentators to give you or your corporation a shoutout live and on the air? Interested parties can contact Seldarine for more details and pricing structure. Isk from all types of sponsors will be put towards ensuring prizes are paid out to the teams (and paying off the debts we incurred last weekend!).

All isk transactions will now take place using the Syndicate Competitive League Inc. [SYNCL] corporation wallet. Be sure to match that exactly, and note that the current CEO is Bob Booley.

Commentary

Ever considered being a commentator? Think you have what it takes? The SCL staff is looking for one more voice to bring on board. Applicants need to demonstrate ample PvP experience, and a high level of past tournament participation is recommended. The ability to commit to both days of the weekend and multiple SCL dates is requested, and it is also asked that you not participate in the SCL in any way should you opt to become a commentator-we don't want active competitors "in the booth". Contact Seldarine for details.


Be sure to tune into the Syndicate Competitive League Twitch.tv channel. Or head over to the SCL website to check out the teams, rules, bracket schedule, and sponsor information.

Thanks for your time and we hope you will enjoy SCL4 on 22-23 June! See you then!

Does this include 6% and named (6%+ implants)?

Also, your rule for energy transfers only applies to logi hulls? so i can have any other ship with as many ETs as I want?


P.S. you haven't mentioned any change to the point pool to compensate for the extra pilots. Are we still capped at 70 points?

Thanks for catching these and for reminding me why late night posting isn't a good idea for me.

6% implants are as of now allowed but is subject to change pending further discussion among the SCL Staff.

I updated the rules portion to better reflect our intent regarding ETs. Only ONE ET will be allowed per team and that ONE ET must be fit to a logi hull.

We will have to discuss changes in the point pool and I will update you as I receive more information.

Teams will still be made up of 8 pilots with 4 alternates and we will be keeping the 70 cap as we are still at 8 man teams.

I apologize if you misunderstood me but we never bumped the number of pilots per team up, we bumped the number of teams up. SCL1-3 featured 8 teams of 8 pilots each. SCL4 will feature 10 teams of 8 pilots each..

Please see the Eve Search thread for the original, unedited post (I never edited that portion of the post).

Thanks

Do we know who the ten teams will be or have they been notified?

Any News? A week off and still no idea whose participating.

cancelling a tourney four days before it starts is a pretty elite troll m8s, nice job

Is this still on for the 22nd?

STIM is bad nonshocker
