no guarantees on which team you will get - the teams will be drafted to the owners based on picks and names out of a hat to keep it fair, it is mainly for fun :)
potter will be disappointed. He's made plans to buy every team and play out a legendary battle of potter versus potter.
haha :P will spread the love around ^^ Im sure a few people could buy all the teams just trying to get more people involved in the fun :)
u ruined my plan :(
Sounds like fun :) I'll shout the winning team some £5 fish ;)
I've purchased a team. Let's see which one I get!
I hope youll be stuck with Swanidius!
Any responsibility in being an owner?
only to name the team - and even then if you cannot come up with anything we will sort it out :)
Shouldn't be too hard to come up with something like RainbowSparkleSunriseChocolateCookiesUnited?
fak thats a good name
Yeah I thought so
This should be done for ET. Great way to generate a prize purse and would surely bring some good players back if there was something to play for. Sold out in a few hours?
pretty much, was only 8 teams though :P
Why didn't you have people bid for a team though? I get the 'fair for everyone' point but people 'outbidding' each-other to get a team they want would have been epic aswell :D
because they'd only be bidding for 3 out of 8 teams.
I think the people who already opted to buy a team in this case already knew they can get a 'lesser' team as well so they could choose to bid less for a lesser team in that case.
6 owners confirmed, waiting on last 2 - we also received €100 (nearly $150) in general donations on top of the owners buying - I will add a donation list @ the cup website before the cup starts. Thanks to all the donators!
Awesome!
All owners confirmed :) will do the owner draft before the RTCW cast this Sunday, will do a news item beforehand also - owners if you havent already please have your team names etc. ready! I will need those by Monday night at the latest.
:o Teams 1,5 & 7!
viX! :D
Kris you owner, why don't you ask me to play!? :-P
viX <3

Team Sales Are Live!
After our post last week regarding small changes to the cup we received some pretty good feedback and managed to fill out the 8 slots within 24hours! Now we are moving onto selling the teams to raise the money for the tournament - If you wish to buy a team, they cost €10 each, you can message me here on Crossfire or IRC and I will talk you through the basic info we will need.
Owners
We have a maximum of 8 owners and we will be contacting people who have already shown genuine interest first - but if you are interested yourself like mentioned above - contact us! We hope to sell all teams by 27th April 2014.

For general donations, please hit the link below - for UK and US based people you can use a currency converter HERE - roughly (£1 = €1.2) and (€1 = $1.4) - All donations towards the tournament will be based on amounts received after fees.
