[Dev Update] Automated Tournament System Improvements -- 11 May 2007
In monitoring and assessing the ATS over the last few days, the dev team identified specific potential improvements to the system. These improvements did not require a "Live Build," therefore was no in-game notification and no Update Notes were published. However, we do want you to be aware of these system improvements, which were effective at approximately 7:30 PM Pacific Time on Friday, May 11th. The changes are as follows:


 * The top 25% of all players who participate in each tournament instance will receive Tournament Reward points, rather than just the top 8 players.
 * Guilds and players will no longer receive Qualifier Points or Tournament Rewards Points if they forfeit on the first round.
 * Teams in GvG Tournaments will no longer be required to retain 6 out of the 8 original players throughout the entire tournament.
 * Players will now get their Tournament Tokens refunded when withdrawing from a tournament.
