Well, what do others think of that? I do not wish to anger our own pvp-people by granting you what is not allowed to others, but I would like to see you.
Not enough to start changing the rules, though.
Sorry.
-------------------
Edit:
I have changed my mind.
First, I do wish to have our Corinthia-born brethren to join.
Second, I still think the best teams we will see are going to be guild teams, as most premades that do well are guild ones - that I've seen. It's just the practice of working together, not just good single players that make the best teams.
If a guild gathers two teams, they are likely to be divergent in skill and end up in different positions, thus with the later round matchups also not likely to face each other.
Could also change that rule a bit.
Everyone would be allowed to be in one team max. But guild teams will be more fair I think. If you put the best of the best in one team you know from the start who will win.
Maybe a in between solution. If your guild has the members to make the teams themself they must, otherwise they can mix with other small guilds. But thats very much open for workarounds.
How about class limits? I think we will see teams with more than one Necro, Demo, ToS which I think would be rather overpower at least when SCUM has total zero of those classes.
Nah, no class limitations because that would really hurt some guilds groups if their best pvp'ers are casters or something and they could only get 1-2 caster to their group.

If all teams have finished their matches before dealine the next round may begin earlier.
Rules changed: I have after consulting with people and thinking about it decided that teams are no longer guild bound. I expect most best teams will be guild groups, as those are the ones who have most experience in teamwork, but let all who want to fight form teams and raise hell in the battlefields.
I would also like to see other people who would be willing to be judges in the tournament. You should not have too much work to do, just to settle disputes and check complaints.
Quadronus asked us to announce that the deadline for tournament applications has been moved forward by one day. So you have time until tomorrow to apply for the tournament.
