Two things I forgot to mention about signups:

1) Please include (or PM me) Skype info of your captain if I do not already have it.

2) Logos must be an original work so there are no copyright issues.

You know no offence to some of the newer teams, but a lot of these guys signing up I've never seen them or their group. There may need to be a bit of verification that everyone has 8 players ready to go.

I agree. It wouldn't be the first time that a new team fails to turn up for an event they signed up for. Shouldn't be at all difficult for the organisers to check up with the newer teams just for a confirmation that they know what they're getting into and they have the people to make the commitment to it.

Is it fair of me to point out that if we are going to request that a background check be made on newer teams, then it is only reasonable for there to be a check made on all teams? Even if you have shown yourself to be reliable previously, not doing so would be playing favoritism. I would suggest that when a team is checked/verified, they be added to a list of verified teams. If they fail to show at any point they would be removed from the list and must be reverified for future events.

It shouldn't be too much of a problem. I didn't see anything special about no-shows, but I'd go so far as to assume that not showing up within 5-10 minutes of the scheduled match start results in the team that did show up getting an automatic win. Getting teams to 'verify' their numbers would probably mean having the team captain or so provide the names of those on their ships, which is pretty much the same thing as them signing up for the tournament. You just have to take their word for it.

yeah, if they intentionally lie that would be a problem. The concern here is more with teams that haven't thought the commitment through than ones actually trying to crash the tournament. I think requesting a tentative list of crew for each team wouldn't be much to ask for and would inspire a little more confidence that matches will actually be played. Yes, forfeited matches don't break the tournament, but they are pretty annoying and make for boring Saturdays.

@redria: yeah, I wouldn't mind at all if all teams were "verified", it just seemed simpler not to go to the trouble of verifying the teams with reliable track records.

It wouldn't be favoritism because reliably showing up to events with 8 players is a great verification that a team will in the future. It would be far better to figure out no shows before they no show when brackets can still be fixed. Especially for the first bit due to it being a group of round robins.

my thoughts exactly. but it's really not a big effort or a big deal for any of the parties so there's no point in having a confrontation over it. If Urz feels it's a good idea he can contact as many teams as he feels necessary and I won't be complaining. ^^

Mad Hatters change
Both captains for the Mad Hatters have stepped down and I (Velvet) am the team's only contact for now. Secondary contact and logo will be coming as soon as possible.

I agree that there is more benefit from verifying new teams, but if this is to be a professional (sorta) event, then all teams need to be treated 100% equally. I don't anticipate any older teams failing to show, but if you ask newer teams and not older teams, it starts the tournament off on a bad note.

My problem isn't with the value of validation, but with the principal of only validating based on outside factors. Everyone must be treated equally.

Because of creative differences as well as organization concerns, I regret to announce that The Rob and Dan Show will be concluding and ending business relations with Community eSports, including any involvement with the Skyleague and it's management. We apologize profusely for the disorientation and chaos caused by this, but we feel too far outside our comfort zone with the directions things have been going.

We will continue our current weekly proprietary broadcasts as well as new productions we have coming up in the next few months. The best of luck to everyone moving forward to participate in the Skyleague, and to all those prospective teams getting together for this event that have not yet before competed. There's a lot of new faces for this event, and rest assured they will all be tested.

Leto this is sad news indeed.

However I have to report that the Gents have suffered a tragedy to their roster over the weekend in the passing of one of our best friends, play mates, crewmen and fellow Gentleman. The Gentlemen are all in mourning and it has fallen on me, with a heavy heart to take operational control of the team whilst others take some time for personal reflection and mourning.

Condolences to you, Byron, and all the Gentlemen, along with all of his family and other friends. There are no words that can fully express the feelings I know everyone has right now, but suffice to say that the community is here for you. We are all a family and such a loss is indeed a tragedy.

Thank you very much Redria that is very kind of you. <3 I would like to thank those that sent messages to me via steam, I am passing them on to our fellow clan mates.

Many many thanks.

I would like to second Byron's proposition in the other thread about delaying The Gents games if it were possible because none of us are emotionally prepared to play competitive games or really to be very sociable. Some time would be greatly appreciated and then normal procedures can be acknowledged.
