3rd Interstellar Dueling Competition

Dec 29, 2007 irrevolute link
We've been having pretty good turnout for this bi-weekly event so far, so let's do it again! There are a couple of changes being made, firstly, the prior two tournaments have been organized as single-elimination events. The 3rd Interstellar Dueling Competition will be double-elimination, with a winners' bracket and a losers' bracket. The winner of the losers' bracket will play the winner of the winners' bracket for the champion title and the 10 M credit prize money.
As before, you may sign up by replying to this post, msging Gadek Soja ingame, or by simply showing up by the start of combat. Rules as follows:

Start of combat- Sunday, January 6th, 2008 0100 GMT (note the GMT, people, this will still be on SATURDAY, JANUARY 5th for the majority of players, e.g. 8:00pm Eastern Time, 5:00pm Pacific, pardon my U.S.-centrism, but I am, alas, American).

Location- Sedina D-2

1. All contestants must have a rating of at least 3/3/-/-/- by start of combat to participate.
2. To allow participation by both new and experienced players, all duels must be fought in Vulture MkI ships with a loadout of Neutron Blaster MkI's, these can both be obtained locally at Sedina L-2 .
3. Duelists may use an alternate loadout so long as both parties agree to it, however the ships and loadouts must still be identical (e.g. Tri-Flare Valk X-1s or even Behemoths with Plasma Devastators, if you really want, anything goes, but both duelists MUST agree- an XC ramming contest could be an interesting diversion).
4. Payment of 5000c entrance fee must be made to Gadek Soja prior to start of combat. Please try to pre-register, but pay on the day of the tourney. No refunds.
5. There will be a cash prize of 10M credits to the winner. Bonus prize at sponsor's discretion. No runner-ups.
6. All contestants must be present in Sedina D-2 by 0130 GMT on January 6th, or their place is forfeit. Last minute proxies will be allowed to take the place of any no-show.
7. Each duel must be observed to ensure rules are followed and to confirm victory.
8. Please try to sign up early, so I can put the brackets together and not be scrabbling for a piece of paper while the tournament is going on. We will take last minute sign ups if necessary, but I'd rather not.
9. Brackets will be announced and posted on the forum by Friday, January 4th.
10. Spectators may observe in unarmed EC-class vessels.
11. All entrants will be given Ultra Charge power cells, upon request, to equip before each duel.

That's it for now, please sign up here or /msg "Gadek Soja" ingame.

Hope to see you there, and good hunting, all!

Additionally, volunteers to observe duels and man repair vessels would be welcome. If you would like to sign up to be an offical tournament rep, msg "Gadek Soja" ingame, or reply to this post.

Thanks again, and good luck to all!
