first place is an eSports branded tank, designed for the
Wargaming.net League - which is what this tournament is all about.
Yes, it may not be "worth" as much as a KV-5 or Type 59, but that
wasn't the point of the tournament. The point was to promote

The_Chieftain: I'm inclined to agree. I think this is an example of theory for
some reason not entirely matching with reality. I can operate in
all positions in the tank, but not comfortably for long. I'm also
suspicious given the relative size of the turret on the M1 to the
Type 88 which, by external appearance seems decidedly smaller
despite sharing some of the design team.
Did I miss it, or in his analysis of minimum internal height due to requirement of the gun breech, does he assume that the TC and gunner are at the same seat height from the turret floor?

1980-2005, I think. What I do is not bother with it, and instead
make the vision blocks after painting is completed by using Krystal

track my S4 in the US. Firstly, most tracks don't allow you to pay
just $20 for a fifteen minute jaunt, they want you to pay hundreds
for the day. Secondly, I have a convertible, and most tracks won't
let you run a convertible, for liability reasons. Idiots. Just look

to tournaments@wargamingamerica.com. We can either a) set your team
back to Forming so that players can be added/removed (you'll need
to resubmit the team) or b) send us the player name(s) with links
and we can add/remove players for you (don't forget to tell us the
team name/tournament name, including a link to your team page is
helpful as well). If your team is already Approved,
unfortunately we don't allow roster changes for most of our
tournaments after registration is closed

Redwing_Warrior, on Apr 17 2015 - 21:53, said: Dance, I know that WG has stated that the reason they
eliminated the Quarter Final payout in the Weekend Groups was
because there were teams that were getting a first round bye with
the format change. While I understand that WG does not want
to hear the complaints about the few teams each week that get this
"free gold", I still believe that you are hurting more teams with
this change. Take this week for example. There
are 8 Weekend Groups. In those groups, 14 teams have a first
round bye (as close to the max number as you can get). So in
order to make sure that these teams have to "earn" their prizes,
you are punishing 50 teams that will have won their first round
battle but lose in the second round. Is it really worth
saving the 38,500 gold that those 154 players (assuming each of the
14 teams has the full 11 player roster) would get to deprive the up
to 550 possible players on those 50 teams? Yes, I know that
most will say that those teams just need to get better and to suck
it up but sometimes your team does play well and does have a good
record over the long haul but just runs into those darn weekend
purple teams. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that every
team entered needs to get gold, I firmly believe that having no
success means getting no rewards. I just don't think that the
removal of the Quarter Finals payout is fully justified.
The best way to counteract this "free gold" from occurring
is to go back to combining the Bravo Playoffs with the Weekend
Playoffs. That way, any team that would get a first round bye
(if necessary) would be the team(s) that just missed making the
Alpha Playoffs. But I know that many of the Bravo teams
complained about getting beat by the weekend teams even though the
had 20 to 21 battles to use as a tool to help them in the playoffs.
Yes, I know that no matter what you do, you will never be
able to make 100% of the players happy. Anyways, GL to
everyone who moved on to Saturday.

structure isn't only about preventing teams from getting free gold.
Is it part of the decision? Yes. But, it's not the whole decision.
Tournaments should be at least semi-competitive. For the
weekend playoffs paying out until 8th place was not competitive.
Again, all a team had to do was win once. Compare that to the
weekend warfare tournament that we started the beginning of last
year - teams needed to place in the top 4 to earn less gold than
the weekend portion of the Skirmish offers. This change brings it
more in line with what we have done in the past. It also makes it
so there is a difference between playing all week and making the
Bravos and just signing up for the weekend. As an FYI, there were
several other things that we considered before making these, and
all other, changes. While I understand your frustration and
that some changes are disliked, we don't make changes lightly and
we track those changes over time. If needed, we'll adjust in the
future. Thanks.

participating (1500 total with 600 pending approval), im assuming
the groups will be made 10 instead of 8? And lets say there are 1k
teams, with 10 per group, that would mean 100 groups. Wouldnt that
basically mean that there really wont be any teams placing in the
top 2% or 3% (since there will likely be atleast 2% of teams
without any losses? (My math is bad btw, dont trust it, just
curious)

groups will have 10 teams in each. As for the top 2 - 3%,
well, that depends. Yes, there is a possibility that 2% could go
undefeated in one night - but could those same teams go undefeated
every night? When doing a tournament based off of percents,
