GeneralDirection: After a lot of discussion we decided to not require teams represent a clan for this league.

GeneralDirection: lord_farquad is in the process of manually moving teams that had a bye to the next round.

Hypnotik: What about a limit of 18?  I agree that 15 is too few.

lord_farquad: I don't think that would be very beneficial as filling out a 90 point team with 15 people would mean they would all be playing tier 6's. So it's very unlikely anyone will actually field a full 15 man team. More likely that they will have around 10, which would mean about 5 reserve members.

GeneralDirection: It's only one day a week.
If we increased the number of reserves the prizes per member would be reduced. For example, if we added 5 more reserves it would drop prizes to:
1st - 70,0002nd - 39,0003rd - 20,0004th - 10,0005th-8th - 5,000

lord_farquad: Yes, tier 1 = 1 point, tier 5 = 5 points, etc.

Gaea: You may have heard that tank locking is going to be implemented on the EU cluster as of March 15th.
We are not going to be implementing tank locking on the NA cluster as we still feel that tank locking would be of a great advantage to the more established clans and yet be of a large disadvantage to our new/medium clans according to the current situation on NA server Global Map.
For now, all clans should have an equal opportunity on the playing field, as we want to give you all the opportunity to grow and conquer the map.
Thank you for your support.

GeneralDirection: Interesting tool.

GeneralDirection: We have no plans of implementing tank locking on the NA cluster at this time.

Hypnotik: Thanks Hastyr, it worked. I just wasn't sure since there isn't that file anymore in the stock structure anymore. That works for me too.

GeneralDirection: Pinned! Thanks for making this great guide!

Hypnotik: Anybody have this working on 7.1.1 yet? Seems like the avatar_input_handler.xml file doesn't exist anymore.

Tanitha: I'm not sure which it is at the moment, but I'll report that conflicting information to the Dev team, and try to get it clarified.
Thanks for the feedback.

GeneralDirection: Yes, if you do not have an opponent on this page for 1 / 256: http://worldoftanks..../67179-Playoff/
Then your first round is on Wednesday. This is because of the way a bracket system works and the unusual number of teams in the tournament.

GeneralDirection: You do not have an opponent today. Your first round is on Wednesday. You can see the battle schedule here: http://worldoftanks..../67179-Playoff/

GeneralDirection: Teams cannot be modified once registration ends.

GeneralDirection: We're still tweaking it based on feedback and data from the public test, but right now we're aiming for a minimum of 7-vs.-7.

GeneralDirection: Yes, this should hopefully address many issues like this.

GeneralDirection: I would recommend updating from a fresh install of the game with this many mods installed. You can then install those mods to the res_mods folder once the game is updated to 7.1.1.

GeneralDirection: Correct. This change is primarily designed to make modding the game easier for players.

GeneralDirection: Great guide! I'll make sure it's pinned in the forum and linked to in the news article when the update releases.

GeneralDirection: As others have said, we will be sure to announce the second phase of 7.2 testing as soon as its test period is determined.

lord_farquad: We apologize for the inconvenience. We adjusted how the times were displayed due to player feedback, and one of the times was not changed. If your team received a technical defeat due to the time's displayed, please PM me.
And, don't worry, I'm making a note to avoid begining tournaments during DST if possible.
