ThanksGeneralDirection: I'll ask about that, but I believe that's taken from game data, and
is based on what it would cost if it were available for purchase in
the game. This is used to calculate the amount of credits you

Note to future people in the tournament, the competition match maker does not know the rules and doesn't automatically limit the tiers of tanks that you are including.
So you have to manually remember that you can't use a tier IV SPG. Which we did by mistake, been a bit disorganised.
It would be nice if the match maker could just do this by itself ! After all it counts the tank points and all.

GeneralDirection: I agree that it would be nice. It's a feature I've requested with
the improvements that are in development for the tool.
Unfortunately it's not currently possible to limit tiers on a tank
type basis, so policy currently dictates that disputes be
investigated.
That said, this is exactly why I put an off-day between rounds, so that we can investigate the matter thoroughly before coming to a decision. With regard to your team specifically, we have received an appeal by your team captain and will investigate accordingly.

disqualified from the tournament, forfeiting their progress to
their opponent -- even in the event they have defeated their
opponent in the round.
For Challenges, as of this time, it only includes utilizing tanks outside of the tiers allowed. For the November 2011 Challenge -- for both Oceania and North America -- the rules are:
Heavy Tanks & Medium Tanks: tier 5Light Tanks & Tank Destroyers: tier 4SPGs: tier 3
Teams found to be using tanks outside of the allowed tiers will be disqualified, and must submit an appeal to events@worldoftanks.com.

I've probably sunk close to $600+ dollars into this game and wont be spending another cent after this latest debacle and demonstration that WG apparently doesn't give two hoots about its Oceanic player base.
Provide us with actual support for the Oceanic player base rather than just support to NA based personnel who happen to be awake during Oceanic peak periods and I'll revise my stance. At the moment the game is beginning to circle the drain as far as I'm concerned and the lack of support is the main reason.

Though it does seem clear to me that the fact I'm working on clan specific tournaments has not been communicated, because there seems to be some sentiment that being in a clan means you don't get to have fun. That's hardly the case.

ediarmin, on Nov 15 2011 - 04:11, said: but instead it should suck for us because clan wars and majority of
events are held early in the day to account for majority America
Mexico and all other nations on that time line and the only event
for our prime time has been this one that i know of. Therefore a
few hundred users are more important than a few thousand
international players go figureGeneralDirection: I agree that Clan Wars is not an optimal experience for players in
Oceania. We have a region in development that should help to
alleviate that, and it's coming along nicely.
In addition, as soon as we fill the E-Sports position we currently have open, there will be a single person entirely dedicated to organizing and running tournaments, so the frequency and variety in tournaments will increase substantially.
In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can speed up the planning of a few other types of tournaments.

feasible. Plus people can simply lie about it. But I'm working on
ideas to better confirm people's locations.

over an Oceanic team. Don't get me wrong WG, I love you guys, but
you probably shouldn't be hosting a region specific tournament when
there's no way of telling where the teams are from.
I at least only signed up at the prospect of possibly having a good time on an organized team that didn't involve throwing ten tier 10s and assorted artillery at each other and seeing what happens, I don't think it was anyone's intent on my team to deny anybody else anything. Well, except maybe first place, but that's sort of the point of a tourney.

GeneralDirection: It was never intended to suggest that it was only for Oceania, just
that the tournament is scheduled in a comfortable time period for
players located in the region. The tool at this time can not dig
deep enough to say "this guy is from Australia and his one is from
Canada." And frankly, I don't feel that should be the case to begin
with. The idea behind the tournament is to give players playing
during those hours something to do. While we'd prefer players don't
set their alarm clocks for 2AM in the morning if they don't
normally play then -- it's why we're scheduling tournaments during
multiple time periods of the day -- it's not something that is
possible to prevent with the tool right now.

scheduled.

GeneralDirection: While I know you acknowledged this as a joke in a later post, I
will say that yes it's something to consider. The times may have
been set up in a fashion that caused the players to sign up and
then not make it for whatever reason.
This could potentially require some additional functionality for the tool, but I'll see what can be done without that.

required extensive work on the backend and would have delayed the
tournament by multiple days to account for bringing in additional
teams, as well as extending the actual schedule of the tournament.
It has already been modified for future tournaments that 128 teams
will be allowed.

get an automatic bye to the next round.
As I see there were three DQs in the Oceanic Challenge, we're going to have to consider possibly modifying the 3/5 rule to account for one potential draw.

the event, and asked for your support. IE I helped promote the

Mainly because I'm from Oceania myself and I know the Oceania
community very well, most of them personally.
So I'm sure even you will agree, that I did my job "of rounding up the Oceania player-base" extremely well, since it filled up several times over..
However, that was pretty much my only involvement in the event. I am not an events manager and I am not involved in the running of tournaments at all.
But feel free to shoot anyway..

You can goto their website, / downloads, and download the Eu client, install it, and make an EU accounts.
www.worldoftanks.eu
However you will probably find the ping is about 100 more(I did). and then you run into issues with a lot of non English on the Euro server.
The NA server also support's the AUS timezone, and that support is increasing more and more. IE kill the mods/courier events in the AUS timezone. Tournaments, and a lot of other things in the works.
The Eu sever will support the AUS timezone very little.
All in all, you will be much better off here on the NA server imo.

GeneralDirection: Of the 400 teams, just over 120 were actually eligible. A majority
of the teams had 0-2 members. With regard to frequency, these are
planned on a monthly basis where scheduling permits.

players rather than a bunch of Yank based clan teamsNext time they might think a bit more about the oceania players - not overly happy that teams of Oceania players cna be left out when teams of entirely non oceania based players get the nod
GeneralDirection: We tried to set it up to give Oceanic players preference. I'll look
into other ways we can do so, without outright barring players from
other regions from participating. Some players who live in North
America may have jobs that cause them to be awake during these
hours, so it'd suck for them if we limited it based on IP address
or physical location.

challenge.There are some none too happy people regarding the way
this challenge was set up.The community manager has been trying to
placate them, with promises it will be better next time.Umm....were
we testers,unknowingly,so they could better organise the NA
challenge?Perhaps they know that the people in North America
wouldn't have reacted too well with the kind of run around we
got.Perhaps;(and it does feel like this)we are the expendables?If a
few people from 'Oceania' get annoyed and leave the game ,no big
deal,it wont hurt their larger market.I hope not.
GeneralDirection: We didn't use Oceania as testers. It was specifically requested
that the next tournament scheduled be for the region. Unfortunately
that coincided with a major revamp to the community portal, and a
few bugs (particularly involving registration) crept through.
That aside, the rules were set up with an expectation of 64 teams participating, due to past tournaments. But now that there is absolutely a higher demand, we can plan the schedule and format accordingly in the future.

Must we initiate communications with the others teams leaders ourselves and make training rooms?

GeneralDirection: They will start automatically. Let me dig up a post one of our
players put together for the recent IGN Prime tournament.

the team list each day as to see what teams are pending and approve
them until 64 slots were filled, how many of the teams have 2 or
more non oceanic players in them. just poorly constructed
tournament on your behalf

the future rules will be made more flexible so that we can expand
it if needed, to allow additional teams.
