GRAND TOURNAMENTS

1. Grand Tournaments occur at the end of each month and have special names for each depending on each month. Example: Oct. 2013 = Friday the 13th.
2. The tournament will have a qualifier for the four factions with the least amount of Vortex Points. The Qualifiers will be set up like so. 1 BYE. 2 BYE. 3v6. 4v5.
3. The winners of the qualifiers and first and second will be put into Double Elimination matches with the top players of each factions.
4. The two remaining Faction members will do 2 out of 3 series and then the winning faction of the month will be chosen.

FACTIONS

ALPHA

An ALPHA member always gets on top, the dominant one. Once the empire is built he'll take them all down.
One by one.

AUTO

A member of AUTO knows the best technology. The best to conquer. He'll pick the best weapon of choice and he'll play off the strengths, and balance out the weaknesses.

ARROW

The members of ARROW know what to attack and when. Knows where to play off and where to defend. With attacks with deadly precision. This will make them a formidable force.

ARMY

An ARMY soldier knows who is the best ally and who to strike down first. They'll know when treason will upon them and they'll attack before. Hard and deadly.

ARMOR

ARMOR members are defenders. They'll build up their forces then unleash a deadly barrage of attacks. Although the empire might be small, it will definitely pack a deadly punch.

AWOL

You don't want to mess with a member of AWOL. Their attacks are swift, quick, and clean. These guys are always the first to attack, and most of the time the last.
