Tournament idea proposal
Mattilald Anguisad:
Tehnicaly MUSE defines long range (witch does not consist of LJ and Merc, both of witch go into Very Long category) by experience I'd say weapons with max range of 1000-1500M, but I know what you mean, otherwise someone will suggest a restriction to restrict "meta" builds or something like that.

this except with a "No meta" restriction :P
Squash:
I like the idea, but only if there's a larger list of handicaps, or if those ones are better thought out. Looking at the ones you have it looks like the tournament would be nothing but gatt+flak.
If you put some trust in the players, you could do something like Iron Chef, where the two teams are given a theme which has to be the primary concept of each ship. For instance, today's theme is.... FLECHETTE! Or, today's theme is... AREA OF EFFECT!!! Then give each team a few minutes to plan their build, and they go to work.
BADFOOT:
While I believe the idea would need a good deal of refinement to get working properly, primarily in the list of "handicaps". I think you have a general concept that could be really fun. Work up a bunch of different handicaps, pull a couple out of a hat on your stream day of event (for the drama of it all don'tcha know). Be even cooler if neither team knew what the other teams handicap was. Lots of honor system involved, but I have a good deal of respect for most of the competitive players I have met in that regard. And watch a team restricted to all flamethrowers fighting a team that has no pilot roles available. It could be a glorious afternoon. I would happily participate.

Those handicaps were just possible examples. One could just as easily add no gat or no flak or no hawacha, etc - in fact if this is going foward extra handicaps are going to be added to the pool of possible handicaps, those in the list were written there just to give you the idea of what kind of handycaps i had in mind.
Iron captain could be a goot alternative too.

As for making it weekly or daily thing - i'd require help of CeSports for streaming at least.I'll probably have to make a pool to (actual a lot of pools) to see what people would prefer. Pulling random people into random teams would be a logistical nightmare - unless I get help from muse, best soulution would be to take random draw from regional chat by asking people to PM me and select first 32 of those and randomise from that.
