Yoott: lol ^^^

Yoott: yeah dunno then... I have gotten my W/l from 46% a year ago to where im now 100 games + in my w/l  and averaging around 52 - 53% w/l overall for 60 days + so I cant help I seem to be going the other way then you.....

Yoott: dunno.... maybe some of the game balances, tank releases have not fit your style as much........
almost all the maps have changed, terrain and gameplay wise...... are you using encounter and assault at all?
different MM where now you fight more within your tiering... maybe before you had decent MM draws and ended top tier more then now?..
I dunno just some other ideas but you may want to check for incision scars from the lobotomy.....

Yoott: HIGH SCORE WOOHOO... k now i have to leave for work

Yoott: Damn Lert almost 10k forum rep now...... HAX... even Gaea who has the master +1 rep button does not have that many lol

Yoott: stop sitting in the middle of open fields...........and you wont get hit

Captain_Judo: The World of Tanks Classic is a long season. Before we kick-off Season 2, we want to make sure the season is set up for success! So we're listing some of our internal talking points which we grabbed from Season 1's threads. If you were around for our first World of Tanks Classic, you may even recognize one of your suggestions below  
Large rosters to account for the day (weekend) rounds are playedWe plan to continue with the roster max that was established by the end of the first season. This means that each team will be allowed 20 player rosters. League awards for MVP, top scorer, top defense, etc..This is a great idea and we’ve been keen on introducing something similar in the past. It would require either a metric that can be easily tracked or some kind of poll to elect an “MVP”. Roster mobility / adding and removing players mid-seasonWe like the idea of a short period (break) where rosters can be replenished. Seeding the group stageWe’ll employ our current rating system to seed the group stage. The playoffs will be seeded based on group stage performance. NO Shows + lack of gamesWe have several ideas floating around to maximize participation. Some of these were snatched out of community threads during Season 1:Break the group stage into two parts. An initial group stage composed of smaller groups where half the teams are eliminated while the other half advance into larger groups (of 10) for the familiar Classic 1 season format.
Dock teams for no-shows. This would require active feedback from our community by providing a screenshot of a technical victory. Accumulating so many no-shows will ultimately result in disqualification.
Incentivize participation.
Allow teams to register mid-seasonWe don’t like the idea of allowing completely new teams to enter mid-season. But we favor allowing teams to recruit new players midseason. If helpful, we can institute a public registration board to help teams locate new players interested in participating mid-season. Timely news & announcements updatesThe World of Tanks Classic, Season 1, was our first attempt. We have much of the processes streamlined this time around and believe we can make scheduling and announcements more efficient. Clear progression system to playoffsBuilding on the statement above, we can make the progression to playoffs more clear this time around. Nagatron & Relics vidsI think we can all agree that everyone would want to see these return! Reduce downtime between battlesThis feedback lead to a standard 2 minutes between battles. As with other tournaments, we’ll continue to use this for Season 2. Prizing to include more teamsNoted and up for internal discussion. Of course, any arguments that you can provide, I’m more than happy to share with the powers that ultimately decide prizing!
Please help us by expanding on any of the above thoughts or introducing new points to discuss. Time is running out, so post away

Fulcrum Gaming are certainly starting the year off on the right foot. Back to back challenge winners and winners of two out of the last three skirmishes! They're sitting comfortably atop our eSports rankings with 1,315 points. These guys are hungry to win. If you catch them in a pub on the opposing team.. just run  2nd place - WAR - River of Blood
3rd place - Just Testing
4th place - Netwarriors For next month, we want to theme the challenge around the battle of Kasserine Pass. But we expect to launch some major events and colossal announcements before then!

Yoott: Some bigger clans stream alot of there battles... others post them on You tube and such...

Yoott: I will... :-)
This idea is actually sound... in the respect that WGNA employees are being asked to oversee a part of the game they cant play themselves.

lord_farquad: Due to it being a clan-related tournament, we will not be holding you to the ELO rules.

Captain_Judo: ^correct..
As an FYI, the sheet that team captains are sent is simply informational. No work is needed on your part.

dance210: Caption Contest 10 Finalists

dance210: No, actually it's not. From the Officially Friendly Fire thread

dance210: Believe me, if you have a replay, submit the support ticket. They do take all such reports seriously and WILL ban for 24 hr for the first offense. It needs to be described as abuse of physics, unfair play, something like that. NOT team damage/team kill, because those ARE covered automatically.

dance210: Que flush. If tank(s) have been sitting in que for too long, it will eventually put them into a match. That's why occasionally you will see matches with less than 15 per side and/or more than 5 arty per side. Awhile ago, GeneralDirection suggested sending a support ticket with the screenshot, so I'm guessing you can still try doing that.

dance210: Just as an FYI, they already do that. Major_Rampage goes through all the captions and selects the finalists. He then makes a new thread so that we the players can vote for the winners.
People can upvote the ones the like on the submission thread, but it has no bearing on who is selected as a finalist.

dance210: Pushing allies is an offense that is not tracked by an automatic system. Submit a Support ticket with the replay attached and they will take care of punishing him/her.

Captain_Judo: It's in the opening post.

Captain_Judo: What do you mean?

Captain_Judo: AbsoluteRoyal's got it right- there's no seeding for skirmishes. All teams are randomly dispersed into the bracket.

And Korlee, your second post is also amazing, good job

lord_farquad: Well it wasn't really my last either.... it's back on the first few pages... tbh I couldn't figure out the best word for it

lord_farquad: If you read my next post, it answers your question for you.
For those concerned about the semi-finals and finals being during the super-bowl please keep these in mind:
1. There are only so many days in the weekend (I am all for 4 day weekends if anyone wants to start a petition)
2. Only 4 teams will even be playing on Sunday, chances are, that's not you
3. Depending on the number of participating teams the entire event could end on Saturday
4. As there are only two teams in the final, we can obviously work with them to make sure the time works for both teams, we can always make it later (but again chances are this doesn't concern you)
I'd recommend being more concerned about making it to the Sunday rounds
