During the broadcast for Alliance Tournament XIII, and after the tragic passing of Empress Jamyl I, CCP announced that the Amarr Championships would once again take place to crown a new leader of the Empire.

Well, today CCP Logibro is here to announce the YC118 Amarr Championships, and give a first look at how to apply to represent an Amarr Heir in combat.

Rules and format will follow over the course of the next few weeks, but for now, check out his dev blog here for the first look at what's coming in November.

you could have made the silver magnates slightly different instead of being completely worse in every way.

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

I might´ve shot a wee bit too many Amarrs in my time as a capsuleer, so I guess I will only be able to watch :D But damn, this looks interesting!

I was looking forward to this but t2 ships might be a huge barrier to entry. I have 85 days till I can fly Amarr command ships.

What's this, a competition for delusional slavers? Some might say it's a shame I was born on the wrong side of the border, and raised to have moral standards! But maybe that is reward in itself :p

Will Khanid do the ritual suicide when he loses, if no why is he allowed ? Or maybe ritual suicide will be abolished.

Also how accessible you wanted it to be.

Do team members all need to be in the same corp and/or alliance?

Since i live i live in Hungary i assume i dont need pasport is that correct? Since we are in the schengen zone.

Does the Toon have to fly all ship when u apply or if the skill in time till the first days of november is it enough?

I am really excited to see this happen! Is there a chance CCP might reduce the entry requirements for players who only have toons with low SP? Even if there are only limited "newbro" slots in such a case?

Would have liked new trophy ships TBH. Leave the Magnates alone.
You should have just made Gold and Silver Punishers instead.

The Gold and Silver Magnates were designed for the Amarr Championships, so this is what they're awarded for.

Given that under "normal circumstances" the leader of the Amarr Empire can reign for >500 years, this might very well be the last Amarr Championship we ever see.

Additionally for the finals, teams will be required to come up with their fittings for each round before the event without the assistance of members outside of their team.

How on earth are you going to enforce that one?

They'll be in Iceland for Fanfest at that point. We put them in a room at CCP's offices with EFT/PYFA but no internet access, tell them the rules for the finals, then watch (and film for later use on the stream) their theorycrafting. Those setups are then locked in for the finals.

For the rounds before the finals everyone is welcome to have friends help with the theorycrafting, but the finals are done without a lifeline (so make sure you pick a team that can theorycraft without needing outside help).

Right, I read "before the event" as happening back home since you would prepare and buy stuff on TQ for this anyway.

can you clarify this? does every team member have to be able to fly every amarr ship or is the team as a whole meant to be able to. also when does this apply, from match 1 or only for the finals?
