Nice inititative Emvee, hope it'll fly.
And nice linky in your sig Phil 
I'd love to participate in this, and always have, but very few people accepted my low level challenges.
At lvl 10-15 the characters suffer from exemp code so much, that the only real benefit they get is the number of insp slots which isnt reduced. Whether this is a problem we should discuss maybe.

Good point on the inspiration slots, that would be the biggest advantage for higher levels I'd imagine. There's no easy way around this, but mixed level teams might be a good idea. I guess the best way to start this would be setting a reasonable time - either weekday evening, or weekend afternoon or evening, and then going on and getting as many people spreading the word in-game (on both heroes and villains) as possible to get them in Pocket D.
This sounds very good, cause the FoTM builds wont have as much advantage in these fights

This is something I've been deliberating over for a quite a while, and I'm looking for some input.
Arena PvP is rare and almost non-existant for the most part.
Most PvP is very 'elitist' in that a minority of players take part, and most of the tournaments are at lvl 40-50. Not many people have the time/will to get characters to a high level, and many high level characters are not built for fighting other players. Zone PvP is generally more accessible, but even so most of the people taking part in regular zone PvP are 50, as they don't have to worry about debt. PvP is still a rare passtime to most of the population in this game.
My main thought is setting up a low-level PvP event for level 12-13 (Bantamweight). This type of tournament will be easier to play for newcomers, slower paced due to no travel powers, more team-focused and more open to every player in the game. If this took off, people could regularly build new characters up to the level quite easily which would mean more participants and more fun. It would probably have to be on the live servers too, in order to increase the passing interest of non-forum players (which are probably in the majority) and draw more in.
Now, obviously this is not without its problems in terms of certain powersets/ATs (which I'm sure others will point out), though pentad teams could be a great option for this. Also players will have a much great choice of characters overall due to the far easier task of having a lvl 12 character, and hopefully the emphasis would be on fun.
One big question is whether to have a cap on the upper level of the character allowed - HO'd 50s would have a clear advantage for example, although IO builds won't as they wouldn't get the higher level set bonuses exemplared. However I imagine most 50 HO builds wouldn't be optimised for level 12-13 play and people are very unlikely to change a live build for this level.
Thoughts?
