Third Alliance Tournament

General Rules

1. This is a bracket tournament with sixteen four-team brackets. The top team from each bracket will advance to the second round, which is a sixteen team knockout.
2. A total of 64 alliances will be allowed to enter.
3. Each alliance will select seven pilots to compete on its behalf.
4. Alliances will be allowed entry on a first-come first-serve basis.
5. To compete in the tournament, alliances will be required to deposit 1 billion ISK to tourney officials. This ammount will be refunded after the tournament, given that that the alliance has shown up for all of its matches.
6. For a win in the brackets round, a team will receive 3 points. A tie gives 1 point, and a loss no points.
7. A pilot cannot compete on behalf of more than one alliance.
8. All competing pilots must be members of the alliance they are competing for before the alliance signs up.
9. Fights are limited to 15 minutes in the first round. After that the fight will be stopped and whichever alliance has destroyed ships with a higher number of total point worth will be declared winner. Unused points count towards the ‘destroyed points’ number.
10. In the elimination rounds, fights will be stopped after 15 minutes. The winners will be declared based on the following:

• The team with the most ships destroyed wins.
