Hey all!
yesterday, all those with fanfest tickets where sent an email detailing the 2 tournaments being held there. One being a charity EVE Online open, the other being a joint EVE and Dust tournament! this was what whas in the email
Quote: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.
Please refer to the FAQ on our forums for more information.
Prizes:
1st place:
GÇó A PS3 for each member of the team, best Razer swag bag, DUST 514 in-game packs, 100 beers for the entire team

2nd place:

We thought the tournament would be a good way to experiment. Also Nullabor wanted to see LOTS of explosions during the tournament. >.< |

I'm really glad to hear that CCP is putting this together! It should be tons of fun for everyone involved.
I find this interesting though: "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."
I wonder if this an idea they are kicking around to change up the current WP for OB system?

Will be there at the FF. Can fly in EVE or fight on the ground. I will sign up as an individual if we can't get it done as a team. What will be the best way to communicate at the FF venue? |

Sounds nice. Should provide more ways for EVE players to feel involved, i'd suppose. Seems to me the current scheme we have is only about an EVE pilot sitting on a district waiting for Dust players to earn enough war points. Or waiting while warding off other ships.
I would hope this system makes its way into the new FW where it can involve all players and not just corporations and that we might have random EVE players looking for a fight in FW and showing up to provide strikes to whoever is playing on the ground for his faction.
Though i'd also wish there to be a safeguard in place for possible battles where only one side gets this support. Wouldn't want a team getting a new strike every minute. Maybe a limit on EVE strikes per match. All this while maintaining the Warbarge strikes intact fueled by WP.

Any early hints on how the system will work? What exactly will count as a 'win' or will it be point based? |
