For the reserve list. Will add GUIDs if we get accepted. I was told by Maskman this is okay but obviously if having Higen is deemed "too much" by the other teams I would totally understand and will simply switch myself as captain.

[KOBZIK]

I didn't know that Folka signed me in some rookie tournament (I had no internet since friday) he didnt even ask me if I want to play in any lol

[ONeil_]

nice you ignore my signup and let a team that signed up after mine and is better than mine participate

fantastic

Sry if it is a stupid question but why isn’t this a EGS tournament? Afaik they plan a rookie tournament too. Maybe you guys can work together making this EGS points compatible?

cause I didn't want to make it invitational, and maskmann wanted to
I don't know why there are sign-ups for an invitational tournament now

Nevertheless we still can count EGS points for it, we only would need to adjust the sign-up rules, which would probably be a bigger mess then it is rn

Just to clarify I want this tournament to be as 'rookie' as possible and the only way to achieve that is to have a strict control over rosters and teams. I would rather have the 12 accepted teams (mostly regimentally based) play now than have 16 teams with the additional teams being single day shit teams and/or teams that are on the 'border of a top 10' but filled with eligible players that really aren't rookies as Rikkert demonstrated^. The only real way of controlling this is by having a tight grasp on the tournament's contents and by having it as an invitational allows me to do this.

The 2nd reason why it is an invitational is to keep the format small my plan is to have two groups of 6 teams with the top three teams going through straight to ft7 knockouts. This would allow each team to play ATLEAST 5 other teams in a ft5 fashion which is unheard of, especially if even the strongest rookie teams get knocked out after 2/3 matches in double elimination/groups of 4 formats. I want to give every team at least an hours decent actual play time and that can be achieved only if 12 teams participate however due to the demand for this tournament we are thinking about upping this to 14 teams which makes each group now 7. This is very ambitious with the total number of matches played being more than another 16/20 team tournament but I still expect the quality of this tournament to be very high, thanks to the limitless amount of admins and smooth IVe Corps Servers provided. 

The reason as to why team applications are available was for me to gauge interest outside the common regimental rookie teams (NPP, Highlanders and 45e teams) and this has allowed us to find and accept teams such as Sacred Band and GordonsOwn Team 2, genuine rookie teams that adhered to the rules and thus have been accepted even if they weren't the first to sign up to a demand high tournament such as this where one would expect first come first serve. We really are looking for genuine rookie teams that's why sign ups aren't closed yet and we are deliberating whether to increase the format to two groups of 7 - the final decision will be made announced tonight.

This is ambitious I know but if it is pulled off it would a great success not only for the casual competitive regiment based community but also for the whole, currently totally fucked, group fighting scene - this hopefully serving as an injection of new fresh players/teams into the main groupfighting scene which it desperately needs. If this means certain players/teams have to swallow some pride and not play in this tournament so be it - I won't be pleasing everyone.

If you actually cared to read the aims of my rookie tournament, as opposed to resorting to personal insults on steam pms you’d understand why I would reject your one day rookie team in favour of a genuine rookie team. If anyone has any genuine grievances please feel free to message me via steam.

Half of the teams are 1 day rookie teams. Theres just no point in arguing with someone who isnt mentally there, I can't win when talking to a wall

[David_Schrein]

Just wondering, how come that a player like nedim or henri is considered a rookie. Or is it because they are in maskmans team

According to maskman dekkers isnt classed as rookie despite playing 5 hours of NW in the past 7 or so years. But henri is guys!
I mean most of the players have more NW hours than dekkers XDDDDDDD


Honestly movement I wouldn't even bother, youll just get some shite response that either avoids the question, lies, or waffles

I mean in all honesty look at your team. Those people aren't "rookies" either.  But that isn't up to me to decide. Rather should just make the format that doesnt conclude any player from tier 3 or higher. So you get "rookies"
