Last night I look through the old data I have saved from that time and regarding PRT 8 ~ PRT 8.5. To my knowledge C8.5 was the only one tournament which didn't finished?!? Right?, I can't remember now the exact reason, although I can confirm that there was some/huge drama regarding long years of clans playing in same teams which result in uneven sides of players. CATA 1 was banned durin C7 (and the name of team also), because of fight with T-ADM in that time. On the other hand, creating mini tournament (C8.5) it could be something related with release of PR v0.9 in that time also? That is why, Michael, you can?t find separate data for those two campaign.
It could very well be it did not finish, since there is no battle result posted from battle 7? Web_coles statement may proof correct when he says it was 6 battles, meaning something happened here too perhaps? Or maybe one team won too many battles? Could be so also, the other side loosing the fun factor?
I also used Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) for digging data and these are the facts
PRTC 8.5 last 8 weeks, 8 battles, with 2 teams only. Just quick tourney, every Saturday we had a battle, less trainings just fun, maybe that was the reason that we didn't got distinct tournament ribbons.
Both Orthas and Pfunk are highlighted in the usual CATA/NATO colors, in the player list, on the right side of the screen. This support the information of them playing as SCO players in C8.5. So the structure with SCO and CO was used here too, or was it also those two who filled out the function as CO players as well?
Back at C8
Aug 08, 2009 - NATO started with Eddiereyes909 as their SCO and CATA had that honor to have Aquiller in SCO boots once again.
Both Eddie and Aquiller as starting SCOs, right, got that covered now.
Afvalbak - CATA2 CO, CATA SCO later on
Orthas - started as CATA 2 GSO, than CATA 2 CO (later in miniC 8.5 he was CATA2 SCO)
L4gi - (from NATO in C7, then CATA 3 CO) - from Dec 02, 2009 CATA SCO
These are for sure since in that time I was making signatures for guys above, and I have saved in chronology time? I?ll double check tonight and post the exact dates of them?
Yep we need the dates too.
Okay, so this is new to me, or perhaps all these names make me a bit confused, but Afvalbak did not complete C8 then, as CATA2 CO.
Right, and a new name also, cfschris - NATO CO in C8, good stuff, have not heard about him before. Change certainly deployed it self in the tourney dynamic - back in the days.
Thank you again Woolfson, I appreciate it a lot.
The web tool you referred to, just used it and instantly found people from campaign 2; ASOG TEAM Maverick, H1tman and Kravixon. Back then the CO was apparently named the CMDR, check it out, we just got the ASOG CMDR digged out, good stuff too.
So the following snapshots are from 2006

omg and another goodie:

The tournament did not highlight officers, forum wise, during campaign 1, but we can read that UK Force was CMDR for the ARRC Team, and that we probably also found the god player having commanded the EJOD team, namely a CMDR. DEADMON5811.
Bingo, we got some of them now - lol! no, not good enough - super lol! finally a break through with the old campaigns...thanks again Woolfson.
And the data keep rolling in; NAFR CMDR campaign 3, is Hitperson while the first PELA CMDR is Solitas, aha!
http://web.archive.org/web/200611042339 ... tymod.com/
Then we get Deg.0 as the RFAD CO, in campaign 4, and from now on commanders are no longer named CMDR in the forums.
http://web.archive.org/web/200612101837 ... tymod.com/
Still campaign 4, aha!, Hitperson is ARRC commander. Here we both see Deg and Hitperson in the same snapshot

HOLY HANDGRENADE - here we have a snapshoot of ME lol, in campaign 4, I did not know they actually enrolled me onto the team, see I left the team again, pretty fast, after a sense that the tournament was not serious enough for me lol, my god I was arrogant back then, lol, and here I am 10 years after still stuck to it lol

That was what I found from the first skim through of those 2006 snapshots.
February 18th 2007
We see that Hitperson is still in command of the ARRC and campaign is announced, so campaign 4 probably over?

April 3rd 2007
Yours truly as the PELA CO
And then we get the BINGO shot
April 29th 2007
The first four teams ever in the tournament, represented with all the starting commanders, meaning we finally have Casualty nailed as the USEF CO and Nightwolf as the starting BCST CO! Bingo Time!

Woolfson, you have just been promoted to Uber Carbon Chamber Commander! this was very needed data and we also get an impression on how much the tournament as a structure has scaled up. This, I think, could be a reason why we get all the problems later on, a structure not having enough players available, for more than one campaign. But - I fully supported the idea and still do today, because the interest in the tournament was big in those days. Would have been stupid not to enlarge.
