Thanks mate. Hoping to start running a bigger tournament (Round Robin and all that... Some type of prize maybe).
Though maybe I should learn to navigate a bit better before I do that.

We haven't seen any valid uses for having more than one of any types of those weapons. Anytime we've seen a build with anymore than one of the above weapons, it tends to fail miserably.

You havent flown on the same lvl. While i agree that barely and competetive ship utilizes several mine launchers they can be decently effective when getting in their optimal range and not been occupied.
But two flares is often used on the side of the pyra due to the ability to shoot them quickly and go back to the actual job of repairing.

For everyone wondering "what time will it be in (XYZ) time zone" here are the time conversions for you.

UTC-9: 8:00
UTC-8: 9:00
UTC-7: 10:00
UTC-6: 11:00
UTC-5: 12:00(Noon)
UTC-4(EST): 13:00(1:00 PM)
UTC-3: 14:00(2:00 PM)
UTC-2: 15:00(3:00 PM)
UTC-1: 16:00(4:00 PM)

Here is a link to a time zone map, so you can determine which one you are in, if you already do not know, and for further time zones: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/

I look forward to seeing everyone on the day of the tournament, and wish everyone entering luck in their matches.

Nice to see some new faces getting involved into event-organization.
Some remarks:
- sign up deadlines are missing
- what does "check in" mean? Show up with the whole team and idle in a lobby? Let someone contact the event organization that your team will be around? Anyway one hour seems to be a bit excessive. Some people have got tight schedules and can not show up until just before the event itself. Also having a scrim vs. another clan before an event to warm up is a common practice for many clans.
- Gun limitations: That's something that should be left to the clans, unless there are severe balance issues or glitches revolving around these guns. This is not the case for any of the restricted guns. As for your reasoning "Anytime we've seen a build with anymore than one of the above weapons, it tends to fail miserably." rest assured multiple minelaunchers and beacons on a ship have been used successfully in competitive encounters in the past!

I'll keep all this in mind for the future, thank you!
As for the sign-up deadlines, it would be the day before the tournament actually happens (Friday 13th).
As for checking in, I would just like everyone to be ready for the tournament. Send me a message on Skype (strykdem) if you are prepared (the check-in time will between 12:00 - 12:50EST). This is really just to make sure there are as few wait times as possible when the tournament starts.
As for gun restrictions, from what you've all said, I'm going to lift the gun limitation.
I apologize for all the errors I have produced in the post (I've yet to get used to creating/hosting a tournament).

Again, I much appreciate all the help!

This wasn't supposed to be a single ship tournament, however feel free to use them if you'd like :D

Now, if only I could edit the main post... Hrm...
