Why do we need a <Guild> and <Team Name>?
The <Guild> Banner is used to record your guild's standings and shouldn't change; the <Team Name> and players on it can change from week to week. This should allow guilds flexibility instead of having the same 3 players on a set team each week.
Does that mean All the members of the team have to be from the same guild?
No, but every team has to be registered under a guild name, none of the characters have to be in the guild they are playing under just as long as you're playing under the same guild banner each week.
Can guilds have more then one team?
Yes, there is no limit on how many teams one guild can have. Guilds can change the team rosters from week to week enter as many or as few teams each week and it will have no effect on how the standings or point system is set-up
Do we need to play for a Guild?
No, teams that do not play for a guild will all be recorded under the banner <Free Agent>. This way they will still be recorded and not effect the point system.
Will there be prizes?
Currently there is no prizes for winning weekly; however, depending on how well the tournament goes keeping records weekly will allow a possibility for a single large tournament(using seeding from the weekly event) with prizes.
Why did you ban racial abilities?
At max level racial abilities provide a small situational advantage: However at lower levels certain races have a huge off advantage over others. The idea is to be able to provide a fair and competitive competition racial abilities complicate that goal. As a team leader you shouldn't feel inclined to pick what you use based off race but simply class and player.
Can I join if I have played before?
Sure can, just sign up and fill out your roster
