World of Tanks Classic, Season I

You announce a tournament and post it on your website, start accepting teams. Then you change the payout and the rules, to accommodate the big clans. You supposedly set this up so players from all clans, or no clans, could join whatever team they liked... but then caved, and allowed more per team to just push the big clans into favor again with their dummy/shared accounts with tanks so anyone can play.
Now you're handicapping and seeding teams based on their clans.
I don't get why this is so complicated, announce a tournament, set the rules, and live by them. You also changed the payout from 97K gold PER player, to 1.4 million per team which works out to 10K and change per player.
So how would my team be seeded? I've been running and playing in tank companies for months, I'd say my win % is about 85-90% calling a map in 30 seconds not knowing the map or the other team before load in. I have experience with these style TC's before they were removed from the game (sadly) in favor of smaller tanks. I have a team of 14 players with nothing but tier 10 heavies, 9 meds and 8 arty... Here's the kicker, my clan is not on the map.. so I guess we suck. I'd caution anyone to overlook us, as the main reason we're not on the map is the stupid time zone problem this game has for PST located players. I'm not alone here, there are many good players in this game NOT in the big clans, so handicapping this would be impossible, and you shouldn't even try.
As devs, you need to man up, say we're randomizing the teams, playing at this time, with this amount. If you don't like the rules, don't sign up. Getting lobbied here is very sad. Inmates should never run the asylum. Stick to your guns and do what you announce. If you're not happy with it, don't announce it.. or, live by it and change the rules and tweak the next one to make it what you think is best.
