Rules are as follows:
1. You must enter with a wingman. You may not change wingmen. Your wingman must be a member of your nation, or one of you must be native KOS.
Note: Native KOS players are at a natural disadvantage, because they and their wingman are able to shoot one another. This may be irrelevant if Dev/Guide support is available.
2. There are no weapon restrictions. The maximum (empty) mass for all ships is 9800kg. This excludes: basic Atlas, basic Revenant and mkII, all models of Centaur, all models of Ragnarok, all models of Behemoth, Prometheus I, II, and SCP.
Note: The Revenant mkIII and Prom mkIII are allowed. This rule guarantees that skill- not armor- will win the day.
3. The tournament ladder will be a simple double elimination format.
4. Similar to the nation war, leaving the sector is not permitted, and running for obscene distances will result in disqualification. Interpreting this distance is up to the discretion of your fight's moderator. Chances are, if you turn your back to the enemy, you are wrong.
If a guide is unavailable to disable friendly fire restrictions, the following rules apply:
5. In any circumstance where friendly fire would be an issue, the winner of the match will be determined by a single duel. Pick one of you to go against one of theirs and cross your fingers! A draw will result in a second duel of your bench-sitting teammates.
6. If one of your matches is determined by duel, and you need to duel again in a later round, your team's duelist must be swapped for the later round. Hope you're both good!
7. The final match will not be determined by single duel. Through discussion, alts may be used to enable a true team battle for the final match. If no combination of alts can permit a proper battle, the four pilots will vote on whether to postpone their battle till friendly fire protection can be disabled or duel one another in a round robin format. The team that takes the most duels will be named the winner.

this sounds great
I'm in. Not sure who with yet.
Btw, whatever did you do to your PDA?! It's screaming! (in colors!)

I believe the PDA is from the newblue skin. The HUD, which is not shown, I have taken from the GlassAdvantage skin.
You've misspelled the trophy plaque, folks... It's "LeberMac with only ONE "b".
You can be my wingman anytime, Aramarth.

Wow leebs. That is an offer I never expected. I'm speechless.
I know Vehement's a great pilot, Leebs, but he isn't good enough to pick up the large amount of slack you'd leave for him in a fight (to be precise, both pilots)... he'd be better off with me. :P
I tend to knock my buddies around with rockets anyway, maybe he'll fit in the role of "Tumbling Wingman"!
LeberMeat, please, please tell me you haven't gotten so bad that MSK/Arlina is now a relatively better combat pilot. That would be proof of real backsliding on your part.
Aye , sounds like a fun event . Yon ancient miner will have a go if he's about .

Lecter - how the hell should I know? MSK/Arlina is ingame and leaves the station so rarely, I wonder if there's any piloting skills left there.. hehe. She's beaten me with a vulture with phase blasters though way back when. I forget what I was flying, but it was probably something stupid, like usual.
And 'marth apparently MISSED the entire TopGun reference in my earlier post. As did the rest of yas. So there.
I'd never think of entering a wingman tournament without Holdan, my last wingman. (No, not Holden Caulfield.)

Hmm... roughly two weeks to get back into form. Where's Shape or Ghost (or Holden Caulfield...)?

I'll be yer wingman, Gav.
Three teams? Is that it? Do most people just not know who to ask?
Post here if you need a wingman too, like Mick did. I've heard a ton of people want to get in on this, but so few have a wingman yet.

Looking for a UIT Point man for the tournament. Message me in game please.

I am killing stuff elsewhere, unfortunately.
Due to my elite fighting skills, I will simply stand off to the side and watch. No, no, really..I don't want to stun anyone with how well I can slam into a roid. *grin*
That being said, will there be a "observation" area?
