EVE Universe Tournament:

The first ever joint tournament between DUST 514 and EVE Online will be held at Fanfest 2013. Teams will consist of 16 DUST 514 players and 5 EVE Online players, each fighting in their respective game. A Factional Warfare bunker-capture system will be in place in EVE Online, with the side that controls the bunker for a period of one minute earning an Orbital Strike for the DUST 514 players on their team. A total of 16 teams will compete in a single elimination bracket format.


Signups:

Signups for the EVE Universe Tournament will be handled on Thursday, the 24th of April, at the venue itself. The method for signing up will be the following:

1. Teams that want to fly spaceships in the tournament register as an EVE Online team.
2. Players that wish to fight on the ground will register as DUST 514 players. You can sign up as an individual, as a partial team, or even as a full team.
3. Each team, both EVE Online teams and DUST 514 teams, will select a captain within their ranks.
4. The captains for all 32 teams will meet on the Thursday and work out who flies with what ground team. This will not be decided by CCP but rather guided so that all teams have partnered up. Further information about this will be available at the sign-up table.
5. This process creates the final team of 21 players.
