All hands to battle stations! This is not a drill.

If the files have been previously bookmarked they will have updated automatically.
Rosters:
It is both teams’ responsibility to verify the eligibility of all players participating in a match prior to starting or continuing any match play. - The only players eligible to play in a match are those on each team’s roster at the time of the match being set. - All gamertags on a team’s roster must be valid. The gamertag must be legitimately owned by the user on the roster. - Users are only permitted to be on one roster at any given time. - Gamertags deemed inappropriate by staff may be removed from a roster at any time.
Prizes:
Each team that qualifies for prizes will earn a prize for the 8 registered core players on their roster. If a team determines that a substitute is more deserving of a prize than a core player they must notify staff as such as soon as possible after the conclusion of the tournament.
MVP - Each of the top four teams will be eligible to nominate an MVP. The 4 nominees will then be put to a public vote for a week, with the winner earning an as yet unrevealed prize.
BTB.Net has been doing these for the last few Halo games and they are always a ton of fun so grab some friends and lets play some Big Team Battle.

I used to play BTB a lot in previous games, I had hoped for game types like CTF, KOTH, Strongholds etc with 12v12 or 16v16 without reqs. Obviously 343i wanted us to play Warzone. It’s a pity they didn’t cater for those of us that don’t like it. I agree with your OP, more BTB focus and a tourney would be great.

I have loved and played BTB in all the Halos sure i liked a little more but halo 5 has some decent BTB maps and game types this tournament has tweaked a few of the maps and what not to make them play better at a higher level .

It’s not an arena feature, Xbox is adding a way for gamers to make their own tournaments by adding brackets and such to our consoles. So we could do tourneys on about any multiplayer game out there.

Haven’t gotten many responses (the one response I did get I referred to another thread and now they’re a sub) but now that I don’t have to work on Saturday I’d be up to hopping on a team.
My only concern is how long this tournament is expected to last (I’m CST, so it starts at 2 PM for me). Any sort of reference from prior tournaments of this size/nature?
It depends on the brackets and how each team does if you get Lose early it will be over quick but if you make it to the top 4 teams or so it will go for a few hours.
