Yep - so we need feedback from you lot now, do you fancy it much? 
When do sign ups open?
World of Jackcraft.
soon - we want to gauge interest, make sure we haven't fouled up before we commit to signups, but it will be in the next couple of days, and will run to the 25th of May.
im interested , sounds fun :P . But does this mean i can be chucked in with random noobs !?
sounds great give us the dates, ill try be there
Well... I think it sounds like a lot of fun... and a good follow up to last years S4 Tournament
Looking forward to it!
Hmm, I would love to enter Exofrost MK IV for this but only 34 at the mo. Depending on when it is, I may be able to make the levels (the alt is only 4 weeks old so levelling quick)
One question though. Is the '3 death' rule not a bit biased to the non squishy AT's?
EDIT: Ignore that, just seen it's by fight not by individual deaths. What I get for reading the forum so late
the "lives" relate to team losses, not deaths - so you can be on 2 losing teams, but not three.
Also, we would be looking to have the first "Fight Night" on Thursday 1st of June.

OK, I definitely want a spot then. Will try to get Exofrost in but if he doesn't level in time, I'll bring Kal'tk instead.
Count me in 
Actually, this randomly assigned 3vs3 idea sounds awesome. Definately interested, now all I have to do is get a few more bars and Archelon'll be ready to go.
Man, im glad I grabbed that respec 
Sounds like a great Idea, im in!
Sounds like great fun to me - I def sign up!

This looks very interesting but I don't think I'd be able to make it to the first week. 
I'll do my very best to level Sgt. Winter the last 2 lvl's.
Sounds like a ton o fun.
Spyka is in and Stryka will be once she hits 50
**Acceptable "support" responses**
Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault
Sounds down funny! but it's a shame it's at lv40 max cuz of villain limits . Anyway good news something new is organised, so i'll deffo be there
Will villains be entering to? Cause that'll result in some interesting team make ups to say the least. Whatever the case, I'm well up for this!
i think this sounds ace, i like the level cap too - the builds dont get too uber at 40, yet you still get a chance at all your basic powers.
I think the randomness of it all will really take the edge off the serious ego'ing too, will be a class bit of fun
on sign up would you pick one of your characters per player (even if they have more than 1 account) and be required to stick with that char for the full season?
sign me up for sure.

i imagine you would have to, to avoid:
a) having a draw with two of yourself on the team
b) having a draw and having to fight yourself
Yeah, I'd edit the rules but I can't because the maximum edit time has expired, apparently.
You can't really enter with more than one character, in case you had to fight yourself or were drawn on the same team as yourself. I don't think you can really enter the Defiant and Union divisions either, since the matches take place at the same time.
Guess I should have said which server and game I was on with my entry.
Exofrost MK IV - Corruptor - CoV Union
OR (If I can't get Exo to the minimum level in time)
Kal'tk - Scrapper - CoH Union
No need to actually sign up just yet, this was more to guage interest and let people know what we're doing. We'll post signup threads towards the end of this week/beggining of next week.
Im tentatively interested, although we might find ourselves with I7 if we tarry with this too long 
3vP Tournament
but watch this space!
A 3v3 random team format PvP event for Heroes and Villains on Defiant and Union servers.
So what's the deal?
Each player has 3 lives. When you lose a fight, no matter what team you're in, you lose a life. Once they are gone, you outta there!
Team composition is assigned at random on a match by match basis - you could be teamed with anyone - adaptability is the key to success. We'll draw the teams out of a hat and announce them 24 hours before the "fight night" each week.
Sign-ups are found on two threads, one for Defiant and one for Union, which we'll create when we open the sign-ups. Fight nights will be on Thursday, starting from 7pm GMT. Sign-ups will close on the 25th of May, with the first fight night taking place the week after (1st of June).
Xanthus will be organizing the Defiant side of things, and Union is being organized by Captain Morgan.
As players are eliminated, it will work down to the final 6 players per server, who will face off as the final teams. The victorious team will be crowned server champions, and go on to face the other team in a test server final for ultimate bragging rights.
Matches are 10 minutes in length, with the exception of the final, which will be 20 minutes long.
Both Heroes and Villains may enter as both factions can team together in the Arena.
There are 24 player slots available in each server tournament. These will be filled on a first come, first served basis, using the sign-up threads for each server. If 3vP proves to be a success, we will organise a second event, also featuring a bantamweight division.
Sounds like my cup of tea, so what rules are we playing by?
1. In all cases, all communication with organisers must be via the Private Message system on these boards.
2. In the event of a dispute between teams, both team leaders should attempt to resolve the situation amicably and politely. If this is not possible, both team leaders should send details to an admin for adjudication.
3. The organisers may change or modify the rules at any time. Such changes will be announced on all the boards.
4. In all cases, the decisions of the organisers will be final.
Matches
5. Matches will be played as Ranked Custom Team events in the Arena at the Cruiserweight (38-40) weight class.
6. All members of both teams must be above the lower level limit for the appropriate Division. Higher level characters will be exemplared automatically.
7. Observer mode must be enabled in all matches. The 3vP tournament is a sporting event, and people should be free to watch it if they wish.
8. If a player does not show up within 30 minutes of the start of "Fight Night" they forfeit and lose a life. If they are going to be late for any reason, the tournament organizer should be informed via PM.
Technical problems during a match
9. If a player suffers a technical problem during a match, such as a crash or a disconnect, the rest of their team must continue and the match will still be valid, unless the opposing team leader agrees, in advance of the match, to restart the match if this occurs. Please note that team leaders could agree, for example, to restart if someone crashes on entering the Arena, but not if a crash occurs after a match has got underway. (I recommend using that agreement, but it's up to the two teams).
10. If a player suffers a crash or disconnect during a match, they are allowed to re-enter the match if they can log back on in time. To do so, the player should find the match in the Arena listing, and enter it as an observer. They will return to the match and their score will be retained. Please note that their timer will be incorrect (it gets reset), but the match will end at the proper time.
Conduct
11. At all times, the standard City of Heroes User Agreement and Rules of Conduct will apply.
12. The use of voice comms or any other communication with a team in a match is strictly prohibited. A team may use voice comms to communicate with each other, but not with anyone not on the team and taking part in the match.
13. Players or teams found to be exploiting bugs or other technical problems during any matches will be disqualified from the league. At the discretion of the organisers, their entire team or teams may also be disqualified.
14. Players or teams found to be cheating during any matches will be disqualified from the competition. At the discretion of the organisers, their entire team may also be disqualified.
15.If a team leader suspects members of another team to be cheating in any way, they should notify the organisers with all details. The organisers will then investigate the matter.
So what do I win?
At the minute, nothing but the fame and adoration of your home server
If you have any questions, both Xanthus and Captain Morgan can be contacted either with a PM on these boards or through a global tell to @Xanthus or @Captain Morgan.
