Alliance Tournament: Difference between revisions

|}

The tournament rules as well as the arena makes for a very different kind of PvP than what is offered in [[New Eden]], but the potential spoils are well worth all the months of training and billions of ISK (if not trillions) people spend in these tournaments.

The rules of the tournament tend to change slightly every year, as CCP make minor adjustments to keep the tournament fresh and entertain and avoid problems that crept up in previous tournaments. The full list of rules can be found on the official [https://community.eveonline.com/community/alliance-tournament/rules/ Alliance Tournament Rules] page, but in general you could summarize them as follows:

* Each team can field up to 10 pilots per match and fleet compositions are limited to a certain number of points in total, where smaller ships cost less than larger ships. There are however many module restrictions (faction, deadspace and officer mods) and drone restrictions (varies depending on type of drone) and teams are only able to field one cruiser-class logistics or two frigate-class logistics.

* The tournament starts off with a modified double-elimination setup and ends with best-of-five final.

Each match will take place in an arena of sorts, that measures 125 km around a central beacon. Inside the arena are [[Mobile_structures#Mobile_Micro_Jump_Unit|Mobile Micro Jump Unit]] structures, one in the center and then the rest spread out in a cube-like form inside the arena, that can be used by everyone. Warping inside the arena is not allowed, unless you're using said structures. You are also not allowed to leave the arena, punishable by immediate destruction.

Worth noting is that the whole tournament takes place on the Tranquility server, in an area of space normally inaccessible by capsuleers. This means that all the ships, modules and implants players bring to the tournament are bought and paid for with real ISK, and the losses they suffer are therefore real losses. Since each team must have a large amount of ships for various fleet compositions as well as extras in case of losses, plus the fact that there are few limits on how much ISK you can spend on your flagship, it's a considerable cost to participate in the tournament as well as the potential for some hefty loot if you manage to kill the opposing team's flagship.

Winners in the alliance tournament stand to gain billions of [[Image:icon money.png|18px|link=]]ISK (the higher they place, the larger the sum), [[image:PLEX_new.png|18px|link=]] [[PLEX]] as well as [[SKIN]]s and blueprint copies for the highly coveted tournament ship prices.

EVE University organized a public betting service for the first tourney, attracting a large amount of wagers. <ref>[https://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/betting-services-open-for-business/ Svarthol.
