OMFG.. a travel power...a cape..and a badge!!?? I'm in!

Not really a travel power.
Its just sprint with my better graphics.
The VIP badge is what switched me from "eh I'll probably do this" to "omg I want." Right now the only other way to get VIP is from occasional ebay or amazon listings. Right now they have it up on Amazon for $80.
But I'm one of those rare pvp-badger hybrids.

Teams have to wait (up to 1 min) for all players to zone into match. If one team is still short after the 9 min mark, then they are fair game and have to play down a player.
-You can request 1 reset per match due to disconnects or not having all players in by the 9 min mark.
[/ QUOTE ]
Those 2 statements could be a bit more clear, but I think I understand what you're saying.
I'm assuming if a player DCs more than a minute into the match, that the team has to play a man down as well even if they haven't yet used their 1 reset option?

Lol same here. Ive wanted the CoH Special Edition set for a while, but I'm not sinking that kinda money into it.
So yeah as soon as I can put together a team I'm in. Just remember to let me win, cuz I really want this stuff.

This was put in place more as a safe guard. I probably should have been a bit clearer here.
In essence... any team may call one reset for the match for any reason. Teams are only allowed to do this once. This rule was designed in case a team mate or multiple team mates DC'd upon loading into the map or arena. The arena has always been buggy and I would hate to see a team suffer due to these random bugs.
I suggested the 1 min rule because sometimes people are slow loaders and could take 30 secs to load into a match. It would not be fair for a fast loading team to run straight toward your teams starting point and attack before your whole team is in the map.
So here are the two rules simplified:
1. Both captains must call all in before engaging.
2. Either captain may call a reset of the match for any reason, but may only do this once a round.
3. If a team does not call all in by the 9 min mark AND does not call a reset of the match (or has already used their 1 reset), than the opposing team may engage and start the match.
Furthermore, another clarification... Just cause I can see an exploitation here or loophole based on what i just said.
If a player zones into the match and is ready, thus eliciting the all in from the captain of their team, but D/Cs during the match (or while fighting), your captain CAN NOT call his match reset at that time.
If I allow this... then I can see a team calling a reset if they start losing and its 4 min into the match.
So to further clarify...
Captains can only use their "1 reset option" before the 9 min mark of the match. Once 9 min elapses, the fight officially starts.
I have a Katana/Regen scrapper i'd like to sign up with but I don't have a team.. will someone draft me?
hit me up on my global, @Khalysto
- ChampIoo, 49 Katana/Regen scraptastic-er
Another clarification if you please.
I understand the 1 cager per team, but, let's say a dominator is the cager, what if a necromancer's Lich were to use Tenebrous Tentacles?
Or if a chance to hold proc in a power were to go off?
Would these count as breaking the rules, given that, to an extent, they're beyond the users control?
Cager = Foe Intangilble
Ah..there goes my understanding of the term. Sorry for the dumb question then. Carry on!
Thanks for clearing that up for me though.

Cages are specific powers. What you're thinking of are controls/mezzes.
-the- cages:
Black Hole
Gravity Distortion
Sonic Cage
Detention Field
... i think thats it
Yeah, never actually come across the term prior to reading this topic, both due to the few power sets that have it, and my sheer newbness at PvP, so I made my assumption based on the 'Caged' badge.
Mentioned the word to a friend and got a crash course on what caging actually is, and what powers do it.
Live and learn.

Just wanted to point out that Gravity Distortion is the single target hold. Dimension Shift is the foe intangible in Gravity Control.

SHW does range from lvl 47-50... so if you are within that range you can participate. I will caution that almost all toons in the tourney will have reached lvl 50 and many teams will also be fully accoladed.
Also, I would like to encourage some of you without teams to contact and send a PMs to each other currently without a team. You guys can definately form a team together and enter the tourney.
Unfortunately, there will not be a draft to form teams at a later point (like there was in the TPvPL). But I will try and help as many people as I can.
@DistantDeath
Sign me up. Sounds like fun. Characters I could use:
WP/SM Tank

SS/Ela Brute
Mind/Kin Troller

Probubly a few more I am forgetting 
Scrapper Slotting Basics
Brute Slotting Basics

I may or may not be online that day but I can probably come.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
Most of my VG/SG doesn't play on test so I'm gonna make a team through this thread.
My global is @Blood Spirit on Normal Servers *have to reinstall test to find that global* send me an in-game EMAIL or forum PM with your in-game global and test global, your build you want to bring, and times you can practice.
If I do get a team this way I would like to practice 3-4 times for 1-3 hours this weekend & up coming week so we get a good feel for each other. O ya and ventrillo w/ mic would be nice.
i have a ventrillo server that can be use just send me tell and i can pass info
