Forts are coming back to use Warhammer Online!

Forts will be the arena grounds for a 6v6 tournament hosted by BSD (backseatdev.com) to determine the top 6 man teams on each server.

When is it?
The start date will be announced soon, but the aim is to collect teams and get the rules debated/finalized during the last couple weeks of April, then get a rough schedule out for May 1st. So please move fast.

Who is eligible?
If you play on a North American server you are eligible.

How do I sign up?
Send an email to tyanon@backseatdev.com and include the following information:
-Your Server and (Order/Destro)
-You team name (keep it clean’ish).
-Your team members and class
-Ways to get a hold of your team for scheduling

When do I sign up
Now! ASAP! For organizing purposes I need to know what kind of help I will need to run this and from what servers.

What do I get for winning?
You mean your considering this tournament and e-peen isn’t enough? What about the fun of some premade vs premade group competition? Very well, I will work on getting some sort of prizes if we can get a good turn out.

What do I get for participating?
The Mythic is strong in this one…let me see what I can dig up for this as well, I would love to have some random prizes for participants. It is meant to be fun, anyone can and is encouraged to enter a team and have fun with it!

When/where will matches be?
Matches will attempted to be coordinated between the two teams. Most likely exact times/places will not be announced to the public to minimize the chance of interference. The matches will hopefully take place in the empty forts. Which forts may vary from match to match.

Will there be any rules?
Rules are still being determined, but will be sent out to the teams prior to any matches once finalized. I would actually love to have some feedback on setting up some rules. At this point in time the rules will look to be something like this:

-Anything goes as far as gear/weapons/pots. (too hard to control otherwise)
-Must stay within the confines of the fort or on the walls
-If you get punted outside the walls, you must immediately come back in
-Rezzing is allowed, releasing and running back is not.

How many matches will I get?
This is still being determined and will probably have a lot to do with participation. My hope would be an exhibition match then move into a ladder/bracket format.

I am not interested in participating but would like to help?
I am going to need some volunteers from each server to help oversee the matches. Toss me an email at tyanon@backseatdev.com if your willing/able to help.

I think this is a terrible idea because……
Please, post up your comments. If it is something we can head off up front, I would love to hear it.

Your still listing things, why am I still reading?
Good question. Go rally your team! Tell your server! Get the word out!
