Each team will consist of a maximum of 10 pilots fielded at any given time. All Alliance members are eligible to compete in any match in which their Alliance is taking part; team lineups do not have to remain the same between games. Each team is capped to a team size of 30, plus up to an additional 10 Mercenaries, for a total potential team size of 40, but each pilot will be subject to review and approval. Further, each ship is given a point value (listed below), and the sum of the point values for the ships must not exceed 100 points.

Players may only compete for a single alliance, regardless
