dance210: As of now, our tools don't work that way. It would need to be a manual process after registration closes to determine who owns/owned a tank of the correct tier and/or to see which player(s) have 0 battles. I may be able to figure out something, but I'll take time (if it's possible). Sorry.    

dance210:   I'm sorry if you feel insulted and these are "normal" tournaments. If you mean the Skirmish, Weekday Warfare.....those sadly will not be returning anytime soon, if at all.

dance210:   Attack/Defense doesn't play very well in the round robin format, unless a team plays once on attack and once on defense

dance210: All active tournaments can be found by searching the Tournaments Home Page. Interested in what we having coming up? Check out the July  calendar!  A player has two ways to register for the Platournaments! When you create the team, make sure that you are using the correct registration!Register as a Team! Registration works the same as normal. Team captain makes a team and recruits players to join. A complete team has 3 - 4 players. Captains do not need to submit their team; all teams with the minimum number of players will be accepted. The team is now ready to fight once the tournament starts! Register as a Solo player or as part of a Party! A party is a group of players that does not meet the minimum team size requirements. Create a team. Teams do not need to be confirmed; all players will be accepted for the Solo/Party Registration. Once registration has closed, the player will be combined with other solo player(s) and/or a party to form a complete team After registration has closed, players are encouraged to check back to find their new team!  So how do you register as a solo player? It's easy! When you create a team, there will be Registration Option with a drop down menu. Simply switch from Register Team to Register Solo and you are ready to go!

Lert: Is that the 'why you heff to be mad, is only game' guy?   10 seconds after I post this, that specific clip comes by.

dance210:   The mid-positions were adjusted slightly for a few reasons, including trying to make earning 1st or 2nd place worth "more" since teams put in greater effort to win those. You'll also notice that we added a restriction that a team must win at least one battle to earn a prize - between the lower prizes and that restriction, it's a test to try and prevent teams from no-showing and hoping to earn free gold.   Gold being adjusted has zero to do with the new tournament schedule. Even if the tournaments were running on the same schedule, I still would have adjusted the gold / rules for this tournament.

dance210:   Any team that brings an illegal tank is DQ'd / loses all matches during the tournament. Teams must win at least one match in order to win gold. So as long as players report those who bring an illegal line-up, they won't earn any gold.

The_Chieftain: It's not spring fired, it's a mortar, fired by an explosive charge. The spring basically is for the firing pin.

Saffr0n: When you run a speedtest you are only running it to the nearest data center, and it doesn't indicate the troubled hop between your connection and our servers as a PingPlotter would.    You can download the Standard version of Pingplotter at the following:
https://www.pingplot...m/download.html To complete the test, please perform the following:   1. First please close all open applications including torrents, DC-clients, ICQ, Web Browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and the like), and Mail clients etc. As these can interfere with the connection test results.
2. Launch Pingplotter and maximize the window.
3. Change the Trace Interval option in the lower left hand corner to 2.5 seconds.
4. In the "Target Name" field please type in the IP address of the server you are experiencing difficulties on and then press enter.   login-p2.worldoftanks.com for World of Tanks West
login-p1.worldoftanks.com for World of Tanks East   5. **Please allow this test to run for at least 20 minutes**
6.We would like you to please click "file" (in the upper left hand of you screen), then "export," save the file and then attach it to a ticket so we can review it. 

Saffr0n:   Please attach replay or a link to a replay.

dance210:   If you already have the tank, you'll receive the gold value.

dance210: With the new TMS, it hasn't been possible to run the Match-up Melee tournaments. The new TMS is being updated on a regular basis, so I'm waiting for a special feature to be introduced. Once that arrives, I'm hoping to bring back the Match-up Melee tournaments again    

dance210:   The format is the same between the Stand-To and Platournaments - single day round robin. The prizes aren't the same because they are two different tournaments. Since introducing a new tournament is a good time to try different things with prizing, we decided to try slightly smaller prizes with more winners per tournament.

dance210: Alright guys. This thread has officially devolved into non-constructiveness and the July tournaments are now live, so it will be closed.   Thank you to those who provided constructive feedback, both positive and negative.   Based on that feedback, there will be a multi-day tournament next week, July 11 - 15th. It will be a 5-on-5, tier V tournament. The tournament format will be five days of group stage, with prizes paid out based on cumulative standings.

The_Chieftain: So what box listing in the archives are you looking at?   Peru.

The_Chieftain: Currently eating lunch in a converted gas station somewhere in Lima.

Volier_Zcit: Locking thread as requested by the OP.

dance210: Based on head-to-head results.   Team A and Team B are tied for points for 2nd place. Team B defeated Team A when they faced each other. Therefore, Team B came in 2nd place and Team A came in 3rd.  

dance210:   Hi. First, take a deep breathe. We have dispute rules for when a team brings an illegal tank.   If you happened to miss them in the OP, here they are again:   isputes must adhere to the protocol detailed below or risk having the dispute dropped by tournament administration. Teams have 24 hr after the tournament has concluded to submit disputes. Disputes must be emailed to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com The email subject: Light 1v1 Throwdown Dispute   Disputes must include the following in the body of the email or risk having the dispute dropped by tournament administration: In-game name of the player submitting the dispute Name of the tournament (Light 1v1 Throwdown) Your team’s name with a link to your team’s page created for you during registration Your opponent’s team name and a link to your opponent’s team page created during registration Reason for dispute: e.g. “I would like to report the team for using a tank that was not allowed, the StuG III.” An attached replay of the disputed battle(s)   Additional notes: One valid dispute during a group stage reverses all scores from the offending team for that round. Publicizing disputes prior to resolution is subject to penalties at tournament admin's discretion, not limited to: Disregarding the dispute Immediate team disqualification Removal of offending player from the event   Please be sure to follow these rules when you submit a dispute. Unfortunately, if you don't have a replay or screenshot, I cannot process the dispute for the O-Ni. Hopefully someone else in your group reported that player.

Volier_Zcit: Removed off topic posts. Please avoid posting if you guys don't have anything nice to say. Thank you.

dance210:   Nope. Disputes won't be processed until after the tournament is finished (likely the next time I am in the office).

The_Chieftain: The issue of whether the Australian buyback worked has already been addressed. That it is commonly or even overwhelmingly believed to have been the cause of the reductions seen is not relevant to whether or not it actually was. University of Melbourne was quite specific on the lack of evidence that A caused B. Numerous folks including the police leadership attribute the already extant decline to better policing and social policies. Australia now has more firearms than they had before port Arthur in 96. Further, the lack of mass shootings since can also be attributed to the improvements in medical care which has seen significant improvement in the world of GSWs over the last couple of years. There have been a number of "three killed, multiple wounded" incidents. Finally, the New Zealand situation provides Ann interesting counterpoint. Short mobile 'phone post due to being in airport.

The_Chieftain:   Yeah, some of us here aren't taking it all that well.   I've been considering Montana for a while...

Saffr0n:   I checked your account and see that you already completed MT-15's primary condition(s) back in March, but not the secondary condition(s) for honors. You are able to retry the mission, but you'll only receive the secondary rewards. In this particular battle you completed the primary conditions again, but not the secondary conditions of surviving and winning. You will still get a notification that you completed the campaign mission, but you cannot earn rewards that you already received and redeemed.   

veganzombiez: Sweet work, exo!  Any way we can get a table of contents with anchor links at the top of the page?   And maybe have the legend as a static panel in the left column.   Maybe have two columns so I can have the map on one side, and the text on the other.  I'd like to look at the map without having to move the page up/down while I read your advice.

Saffr0n:   I can confirm this and would like to also add that if you sold the vehicle during a vehicle sale event then it would reduce the amount of credits to restore it. For this gentleman, he sold it for the following credit value:  2,400,000

GhostPrime:   Yes, thank you for bringing this up. These things do happen from time to time. Communication between the giver and recipient is important in order to prevent this from happening. However, there are many players that do not have any issues, this is something to keep in mind though. 

dance210:   If you haven't confirmed the team: Go to your team page Find the small link on the left side that says "Disband Team" Click the link Say yes you want to delete/disband this team Your team will be deleted   If you have already confirmed your team Send an email to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com Include your ingame name and name of your team Request to have your team disbanded After I receive the email, I will disband and delete your team

Saffr0n:   Hi Zakarian12,    My apologies, but I don't see any past technical support tickets from you. Please submit a ticket to our support department to run our diagnostic tool or you may paste your DxDiag report in this thread so I can verify your system specifications. Keep in mind, however, that we would still need to review other game logs to make a proper diagnosis of your issue. 

GhostPrime: Awesome stream, crazy long! I tuned in for a few, Looking good! 

dance210:   Because a purchase through the gift shop is a 100% automatic process.   Crediting gold through tournaments is a mostly manual process, which makes it longer. That also allows us to deal with any disputes that may have come up during a tournament.

GhostPrime: Thank you all for your hard work on these guides. We will read through them and determine the winners, please stay tuned.

GhostPrime:   Yes! It's a great idea, we have a section for that sort of thing here: http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/forum/160-historical-battles-and-other-events/
