Pilots! A week to go until the champion is crowned!

The bracket will be announced this weekend. Seeding will be randomized. Teams from the same unit will not play against one another in the first round.  The bracket will be hosted on Challonge. Here is the bracket from 2016: https://challonge.com/Threev3

SJ will provide a server from a data center to anchor the network. Three other players are hosting from home.  All servers are spread from east to west in North America so far. Other servers are welcome so long as they use this template:

Come have fun with your friends and units in a fast paced solaris team event. A single elimination bracket with 4, 6, or 8 teams. Come by Thursday for matches for teams that cannot play Saturday. There will also be a push to populate the public servers as well. Pilots that cannot make our normal weekend events can take battle. The main event is on Saturday. Teams are to report in a bit early to help get organized. Pilots can sign up early if desired to help planning. Sign up as a full 3 player team or as a team captain. You can also just show up and ask to be assembled into a team with spots open.

Defeat your randomly seated enemy team in a best 3 of 5 match on TSA Glory, Helsgate, Vista, Jungle, and ForestValley. The bracket will feature an active livestream with commentary and a third place match. Voice comms are required for organization on teamspeak. Teams are free to use their own comms server once instructions for the match have been assigned.

Each campaign will feature Clan vs Clan tech and IS vs IS tech only. This will be in addition to a simple tonnage limit for all matches. BV will not be in effect. Drop calcs will be available but not required. Matches will take place simultaneously to speed things along. Each server will have an event representative to ensure timely proceedings and that rules are followed. Standard accepted “Chaos” league rules will govern in game matches. All ground assets will be available once per team battle. So sure use that long tom, but you only get it once each round.

Matches will last 15 minutes with a target of 5 minutes or less down time for preparation. A team that is eliminated may challenge another team to a friendly match or spectate. A full 8 teams on 2-4 servers should wrap up in around 3 hours or so. Please reply here or contact duelist or invictus if you have a team to signup in advance or to sign up as a mercenary team leader. Registaration on the day of the event is also fine but please arrive early if possible. The event is being kept small in scope to focus on speed and quality. A future larger event is possible.
