Wormholes

WHAT is this.

Love tournaments, love the idea, love your enthusiasm, but think there are maybe some things that you might not have considered.

Just some general feedback, if you would like some more detail give me a poke would love to have a chat. Need to check with the rest of my corp but I will try and put a team together for this.

- I don't think I have ever read a Garmon post with so little troll, so take heed of what he said! I read the rules first and immediately I thought that two logi would be horrible. 15 vs 15 is not a good solution.

- Banning sentry drones might be an interesting idea. I really am for keeping everything that is allowed on TQ in the arena, but this might be a good space to test out the banning of sentries given that w-space teams corps are not usually the best at kiting and prefer in-your-face brawling PVP.

- The logistics of a tournament in a wormhole of 15 vs 15 sounds really rough. Footwork had to join up with Red Circle inc (so two 100 man corps) to ensure we had enough players for SCL 4 and 5 and that was on SISI which has instant access and no logistical problems (apart form CCP re-setting the server and wiping all your fitted ships). To bring into the WH the amount of ships and people we used for SCL5 (i.e. the most up-to-date meta) would probably consist of around 3 freighter runs. This would not fit in a small POS. 15 vs15 means possibly even more battleships. Depending on the format of your tournament there could be at least a dozen games for the victor? This would mean that winning this competition would almost definitely mean being the most logistically awesome team, not necessarily the best at fighting. So if hauling turns you on - great! If explosions, maybe not so. My suggestion would be for the first tournament to make it 5 vs 5, 50 points and 5 min time-limit. This would allow the format to be tested with-out over burdening the competitors and organisers. Other corpmates can come along to provide 'security'. Another thing to consider is the amount of ISK at stake in such large teams.

- The idea of reserve pilots is an interesting one - especially if the pilot can decide on what ship to bring while the battle is already under-way (within the points/rules limits, scorpion with race specific hardeners/jammers anyone? :p)

- What about the idea of something completely different to normal tournament formats - a 'thunderdome' tournament. So you get all of the corps interested to anchor their small POS and get their ships in (WH enterance location is announced say 4 hours before the start). No stront allowed in the towers. X pilots a side. Free for all, last tower standing wins! Spectators police the WH nothing in/out after the start of the match. No podding allowed (so people can re-ship till they run out of ships). 8 Hour time limit, corp with the most tower kill-mails wins. If there are already residents then that creates some additional fun that you have to deal with.

- Alternative idea - make it like the SCL, have it on SISI (but probably without CCP support), but only w-space corp teams allowed? Make T3's cheap in points to give it a w-space flavour?

Good luck!

p.s. I would like to apply to be a commentator if you are having a stream :p
