Captain_Judo: It's a bit belated, nevertheless, congratulations WAR - River of Blood, for returning to the winner's seat and winning Skirmish XXVIII  
WAR - River of Blood are the Skirmish team to beat in 2012 with 10 Skirmish championships under their belt- quite the trophy case for Skirmishes alone!

GeneralDirection: Congrats not just on hitting the one year mark, but also on the five tier tens. Sounds like you're due a free t-shirt.

GeneralDirection: Sigh.
Now that I have some brownie points it's time to expend them on making jdtherocker disappear from this thread!

Gaea: Congrats! And thanks for playing our game - you guys are what really makes World of Tanks and all the other Wargaming games what they are!

Captain_Judo: Gold is normally awarded within 24 hours of my officially announcing the winners. If you're owed winnings from this last weekend, you can expect it soon

Captain_Judo: Our friend, Holakc, made a useful thread some time ago which addresses this question: Tutorial - How to join a special battle

Captain_Judo: There's currently no algorithm for maintaining this in our tools which means we would need players to monitor rule enforcement themselves. We'll continue as is just for the sake of simplicity, allowing scrimmages to have rules automatically enforced.

Captain_Judo: Thanks for the feedback, DocGolem. Clearly you grasp the point of scrimmages but it's disappointing to hear not all teams are on the same page.
We'll try extending rosters to 10 players. Hopefully this gives teams an opportunity to make up lost/missing players. If absent teams continues to be an issue, we may just remove scrimmage prizing altogether. Keeping in mind that scrimmages are only preparation for upcoming plans in 2013, there won't be a need for many more scrimmage weekends soon.

Captain_Judo: #71  

Captain_Judo: Your line-up must meet the tier & point requirements. Failure to get this set in time results in a technical defeat.

Captain_Judo: This (no credit earnings for tournament play) is currently the global precedent. But we can certainly raise the point for further discussion.

These kinds of violations need to be reported to Support straight away. We can take it from there.

Mugsy_: Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to suggest ways we can improve this event. We really appreciate your input and will consider what you've said here.

Yoott: I did read it.. the last thing they touched 2 weeks ago was that patch.... nothing since then

Yoott: http://worldoftanks....2-update-notes/

GeneralDirection: Ouch, that's rough. I'll bring this up today and let you know what I hear.

Yoott: LOL as always Lert .....

Yoott: I recognize tons of people ..... known for many reasons , forums, COAF, diplomacy in CW, battles in CW,

dance210: I come back to play the tanks that I love and which usually make me forget I'm trying to grind the entire American tree. For the games where I do well and have fun, whether I win, lose, or draw. And of course for shooting the enemy tanks and making them go boom

GeneralDirection: It's a difficult problem to address. Much like an ELO-based system, there are a lot of potential issues with yes/no matchmaker criteria. We don't want to ruin any player's experience--regardless of the number of battles played. So we have to approach restrictions very carefully.
