Here's a list of some of the questions that have come up summarized for convenience:

* Q: Is that 2-3 matches/day or is it 2-3 matches/clan/day? [Lock from LAG]
A1: 2-3 Total matches per day. No need for people to quit their day jobs just to compete. [Sneye]
A2: Both teams have to agree on the day and time on which to play the match. It will slow down the progress of the tourney but it prevents most time difference conflicts. [Hades]

* Q: Will these matches be played on acceptable times for all players (ie NA and non-NA) (for some of us that means not in the middle of the night) [Lock from LAG]
A: We'll do everything we can to accommodate all clans involved, i.e., have the euro's compete in their own time zones and take it from there. [Sneye]

* Q: Are there loser brackets? [Hamish]
A: Yeah we're doing double elimination, so if you lose you drop to the second bracket and if you lose again you're out. [Hades]

* Q: Do we have to use the tourney servers or can we use our own? [effingee of fc]
A: Tourney servers will be used unless both teams agree to using a separate server, which must be configured to Tourney rules/settings. [added by Hades]

* Q: Is this invite only? Or just primarily invite? [WallyWorld of XxX]
A: Invite only [Sneye]

* Q: Have the rules on exploits been decided yet? [Magus of AWA]
A: For the most part yes, if there's something that hasn't been, we'll do a quick vote for all involved. [Sneye]

* Q: When you say controlled environment for the servers, are you suggesting some type of spectator? [Magus of AWA]
A: Spectators will be likely, possibly on vent/ts only, still hammering out the fine points of it. [Sneye]

* Q: Limit of Teams to sign up?? Deadline to sign up? [Skullhead of !n$]
A: As of right now, there is no limit to how many teams can sign up but this will change once we figure out how many servers we can get (estimate to about 30-35 teams). We don't have a deadline YET because we're waiting on servers to come online and brackets (bg checks + rosters) to get ready, shooting for a roster lock, but on an undetermined date. [added by Hades]
