EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

EVE TV is offering advertising space during its coverage of Alliance Tournament XII due to be broadcasted live in August/September. Your advert will be played before matches on the live stream of the tournament, over the course of the event you can expect exposure to hundreds of thousands unique viewers for your ad. Put your corporation, your web site, your capital ship trade business or any EVE related advert on the biggest ad space available.

As always there is no charge to run a player advert on EVE TV for the Alliance Tournament.


General Rules

All video material must be Eve related!

The item/service being advertised must be Eve related.

The advert must be suitable for all ages.

Content must be respectable (no attack ads) and suitable for broadcast.

Adverts must be in English.

The quality of the advert must reflect positively on EVE itself, we will work with you on improving the quality of the video until we can accept it. The earlier you get in touch and send us material the more we will be able to advise you, the closer to the event we are the less time we will have to help you.

The deadline for each weekend of the tournament is midnight on the Wednesday of that week. That’s August 13th, 20th 27th and September 3rd. If accepted your advert will be shown on all the subsequent weekends of the tournament. Please keep in mind if you want to be sure your advert will be included please submit it at least a couple days earlier.


Technical Rules

1920x1080 resolution with a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio, failing this you can submit as 1280x720, adverts will not be accepted in any other resolutions. Video should not contain black bars either horizontal or vertical.

Either 30 or 29,970 frames per second, adverts will not be accepted at any other frame rate.

15 Seconds long [img]exactly[/img], adverts will not be accepted if longer or shorter.

We suggest the video is delivered as a Mov or mp4 file with H.264 as a compressor at 15 to 20Mbps, WMV is also acceptable, MKV are not.

Video quality is more important than small file size!

Label your video file appropriately, "final video", "video024", "ATXII advert" do not help me...

Note for multiple advert submissions: Each corp/alliance/website etc.. are allocated 1 ad “slot” in the schedule. If you wish you can submit multiple adverts and they will share play time in your ad slot. This is so in total all groups receive the same air time.

Please contact us at evetv@ccpgames.com to submit your video and to ask any questions.

For reference of quality and content please view these past videos created for the Alliance Tournament:

Any service being advertised must be free to players or accessed using in game currency. If you are interested in advertising a paid service or items not directly related to EVE please contact us at evetv@ccpgames.com to discuss becoming an official sponsor of the tournament.

Added one more rule because people are already tripping over this step..

Make sure the video file name is labeled properly..."final video", "video024", "ATXII advert" does not help me when i get 20+ videos all named in the same way. If your video is about "Corp X" then please label your video so.

Could quantify that, please? Do you literally mean all ages, including being suitable for say infants, or something else?

Thanks.

Is there any submission fee/cost?

:( Sorry to see you go Loxy
