All In Blind - The Ultimate Frigate Tournament
Sponsored by Kri-Mart Enterprises, an affiliate of The Plexus Syndicate
What: A frigate tournament where the ships each contestant flies will be determined by a randomly generated roll.
First round to begin Friday, September 5, 2008 at 9pm EST (-5 GMT).
Location will be announced 1 hour before the tournament is scheduled to begin. Be ready by 8pm EST (-5 GMT) to leave immediately for the location of the tournament.
You will need to provide your Limited API key *OR* up to date skill list (ie: evemon export etc) so that the ships we provide can be fitted according to your skills/abi
You won’t know what ship you will fly until it’s time to fight. YOU roll the die that decides what you will fly! Take a chance and prove you are the best!
Entrance fee: $15 M ISK per pilot
Prizes: 100 M ISK 1st Prize, 30 M ISK 2nd Prize, and a 15 M ISK 3rd Prize
For every 5 pilots that sign up and pay the entrance fee after the 10th one, we will up the prize monies by 15 M ISK for 1st Prize, 10 M ISK for 2nd Prize, and 5 M ISK for 3rd Prize. That’s right! The more that sign up, the bigger the prize!
Fees due in full by Monday, September 1st, 2008 9pm EST (-5 GMT) We will consider other contestants from that time until Friday, September 5, 2008 at 12 noon EST (-5 GMT) at a charge of 25 M ISK per pilot. The increase is due to having to redo all the battle charts for the tournament to include you, so please be considerate and pay your fee before September 1, 2008!
And for the truly elite! If you make it through the entire tournament without a single loss or draw, you will be awarded a faction frigate in addition to the prize monies you receive! Every single battle MUST be won (No draws!) by the same pilot in order to receive this bonus prize.
Refund policy: If less than 6 pilots sign up by Monday, September 1st, 2008 9pm EST (-5 GMT) you will receive a full refund of your entrance fee. If a pilot withdraws by Monday, September 1st, 2008 9pm EST (-5 GMT) they will receive a full refund. Any withdrawals or no-shows after Monday, September 1st, 2008 9pm EST (-5 GMT) shall have NO refund. Please be considerate and withdraw in a timely manner if at all possible. Thank you!

To further clarify, the original date of Friday, September 5, 2008 is only a portion of the tournament. Each episode will last about 1 hour. We will continue the tournament every Friday at the same time, with the same conditions etc, until all battles are complete and the winners have been declared. We will be posting the schedule for each contestant by Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 9pm EST (-5 GMT). There MAY be some last min updates if necessary, so it is important you watch for any as they occur. Any late applicants will be added to the end of the list, so it is very unlikely that those originally scheduled for the first night will see any changes unless they, themselves, pull out of the tournament last min.
Also, please send in what Fridays you will be available is you have limitations so that we can better set up the battles. However, please keep in mind that there will be times where we will be unable to control what Friday a battle occurs due to the winners of previous battles. Either way, know that we will do our best to accommodate those with timing issues whenever possible. If you are scheduled, despite any conflicts, and do not make an appearance, you will automatically default to the other pilot. This default shall not be a penalty to the faction frigate side prize for the winner as it will not be considered a draw or a loss for the winner. We will also consider Saturday mornings for our overseas contestants and others whose lives demand a slightly different timing. This will be limited, though, so it's recommended you aim for the regularly scheduled time. You have the 9pm EST (-5 GMT) Friday, the 9am EST (-5 GMT) Saturday and 12pm EST (-5 GMT) Saturday slots available. If the contestants cannot come to an agreement the default time of 9pm EST (-5 GMT) Friday is assigned and whoever does not show is disqualified. It is recommended each contestant provide a valid email to Kri Tzigane so that information and updates can be sent directly to you. Good luck and looking forward to seeing you there!
