Hypnotik: Hello all,   I hope you're all enjoying the tournament so far.   After the first round of fighting, we have an interesting result - an unbreakable tie. As a refresher, here are the tiebreaker rules for Round 1:   Head to Head Head to Head Against Group Leader Opponent Strength - final rank of opponents that have defeated your team Complete draw - tied teams move on to Round 2   There were 5 teams tied with 9 points at 38th position (38 thru 42); (SPWAW, Armored Reapers, UAW OPFOR, BLAM, and 182nd WRECKING BALLS). The only head-to-head was SPWAW vs Armored Reapers, which SPWAW won, so they move on, leaving 4 teams tied at 9 for 39-42nd. No team defeated the group leader, so we move to opponent strength. Armored Reapers' were the only outlier here, so they were #39, leaving 3 teams for 40th place, so all 3 move on into the next round. Each of these 42 teams has earned the 1,000.   However, we no longer have 40 clans, so we can't have 4 groups, but rather 5 groups (2 have 9, 3 have 8 clans in them). Well, we're prepared for this too. Each group will still see the top two clans move on to the playoff round, making it 10 teams. Similar to college basketball, we'll have a play-in round with the lower-ranked clans after Round 2 playing for a spot in the main rounds of the playoffs. Ties in this play-in round will be broken according to the playoffs tie-breaker rules.   So, here are your groups for tomorrow, Round 2 (they will appear and be scheduled for you tomorrow morning/mid-day).     Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 S.I.M.P.

TragicLoss: Move your face closer to the screen. (In all honesty I don't know)

Hypnotik: Hello everyone,   Now that registration is complete, here's the look ahead at the tournament:   There are 60 teams which met the entry requirements. Since a maximum of 40 teams move on to round 2, that means that 20 teams will be eliminated tonight (and the other 40 will earn 1,000). Tonight's matches will be used in seeding the groups for tomorrow night, when only the top 2 in each division will make it through to the playoffs, so play your best to get the easiest road to success tomorrow night.   Tonight's matches begin at 5:00 PM PST (8:00 PM EST)   Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 268 Awesome TD POWER!!!!

Laera: Tankers!   We are currently experiencing a delay with server reset, which may extend normal reset time from 3AM PST(11:00AM UTC) to 4PM PST (00:00 UTC) or later. At this time, there is no estimate when servers will return to normal reset time. This will reset x2 Daily Doubles and Daily Mission progress.
Please be patient as we work to resolve this issue. For the time being the NA Servers will be resetting at 4PM PST (00:00 UTC). This is not intentional and we hope to return to our normal reset time of 3AM PST (11:00AM UTC) in the future.  While we are currently investigating the issue, at this time there is no estimate when servers will return to normal reset time.   We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.

Trevzor:   Initiating a chargeback on your account will result in a permanent suspension until the chargeback is resolved with our payment provider. Premium time does not pause when a suspension is placed on an account. It is not easy getting an automatic TD/TK suspensions, so I would not worry about it.  

Trevzor:   First, your top reasoning is flawed as one shot is not punished as harshly as a full TK. Plus the points are not necessarily forgiven for destroying to other tanks. You do need to win the battle and the amount of point you have been given may be quite a bit higher the the worth of two other tanks. Plus, don't forget that you have to win the match to get the point removal.   Second, the 1 hour suspension is indeed a one off. Originally suspensions started at 24 hours and escalated from there. We felt this was too harsh and that an educational 1 hour suspension would be more appropriate, especially for new players. Escalation will continue to take place as the suspensions given do not have a decay period.
