Thats right, Battleweek 17 has been set for the 30th of March so everybody get signed up and get ready. We need to have a good turn out if we are going to keep having these events on a regular basis.
For anybody who has played in previous Battleweeks i would like to acknowledge some small changes to the rules.
The AI amount of AI required in a game has been lowered from 12- the number of players per team, to 5- the number of players per team. Matches up to 8v8 in size are still allowed however so anything between a 5v5 and an 8v8 will be bot free.
Also, the points given for a captured CP have been lowered from 10 to 5 to put less emphasis on players who do all the CP capping and make it more even like the point system in SWB2.
Other than that the event, as of now, remains the same as previous events. We are looking to have a good time with this event so tell your friends and get em to come out and play starting March 30th.

So we arent getting any matches in Battleweek17 and I'm hoping it is because somehow everybody forgot it was this week and not that every clan that signed up decided that they weren't actually going to play. I myself cant play until monday but i was hoping that some other clans would be participating so far.

Well this Bw was a bust. I gotta say, I'm a little disappointed in all of the clans that were so excited to get signed up but didnt even show once the event started. We saw appearances from GT, {JMS}, Rage, -=DE=-, RS, and -(DW)-that sounds like a good amount of clans until that you realize that between those 6 clans only 9 players were able to find games and only 6 of them played enough to get ranked. With all the clans signing up (INC RA TPR eX) I had really expected to see some competition here but the event so many clans were endorsing just withered to the point where we aren't even sure that it will be worth it to do another one. If all another event is going to mean is the same 9 players get to play a couple games against the same people, well then its a waste of ER's resources to try and hold an event that wont get activity. We'll see how it goes, might have to wait another year before we get another SWB1 event going just to have the same lack luster participation.

Well, I cant speak for everyone else, but it wasnt a great week for me, I was away most of the time and got as much games in as I could.
With the ESL SWBF1 Leage coming soon I think most just forgot about it.

Are these BattleWeek events considered official ER events with awards handed out?
