- Second on the 27th of January, for MK4 and MK5 guild teams
- and finally the third on the 28th of January, for MK6 and MK7 guild teams

- Each match in the Tournaments will be a "best of 3" 5 v 5 custom match where the 5 players representing each guild face off, this process will be repeated in a "single elimination" style bracket until ONE TEAM REMAINS!

HOW TO SIGN UP

- to SIGN UP, go to http://www.baewatch.win and enter your "In-game name" and "email" into the form on the site
- you will receive a confirmation email that asks for your: 1. Battle Bay TAG (ex. #LFIWHYSA), 2. Guild name, and 3. MK of your ship (MK1 to MK7)
- REPLY to that email with those 3 specific items and that's it! We will mark you down for Guild Wars!

- MAKE SURE your entire 5 player team does this!

- FOR GUILD LEADERS OF PARTICIPATING GUILDS, when you reply to the confirmation email, YOU MUST also include screenshots of your guild name and roster showing ALL the players in your guild. This is to ensure players aren't unfairly hopping between guilds while the tournament is going on.
Please Contact @DeeMeester if you have any questions!

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS: PLEASE contact @DeeMeester. Discord, forum message, youtube comment, or at baewatchftw@gmail.com. We want EVERYONE to be able to compete!

 

Cool, can't wait to see how it turns out!

 

This is the future of Battle Bay!
@Devs - Thank you again for creating Custom Battles, for exactly this reason!

 

Super excited! Good luck everyone!!!

 

Yesss! Hopefully this message can reach everyone in Battle Bay! If you could tell some of your friends know about guild wars that would help a ton!

 

You are the man! Thanks

 

Is our guild gonna go for it?
I'm personally available on the 27th.

 

I might be able to participate. If it doesn't take more than half an hour or so.
I could swap with another guildy if it takes too long.

 

I don't even have a guild lol. Can I 1v1 represent my own guild?

 

There should be a level cap for each division based on ship unlock levels. For example, everyone must be less than level 40 for mk4 -5 leagues and less than 21 for mk1-3 leagues. This will prevent high level players from joining lower leagues with ships stacked with tier 4-5 epics and rares.

Exceptions can be made for players who are 1 or 2 levels higher than the threshold but don't have higher mk ships but checking all 5 ships for every member in every team is too time consuming. I'd suggest to keep it straight to the point and put level caps with no exception (if it's impossible to check every participating member over the level cap).

 

Ya the form does that. Dont worry, just leave out the "#" and "_" for the form and when they reply to the confirmation email, provide the full IGN

 

A very good idea! Thanks!

This would help level the playing field I agree. I'll see what we can do

 

@_@

 

Just a reminder:
Make sure EVERYONE participating in your guild is signed up!

We've been getting a lot of different guilds signing up, but only a couple people FROM each one!

 

Captain I forgot to mention my full IGN in reply. What should I do?
