This has been the longest break between tournaments, since we switched over to BF2. With this break I was able to iron out a lot of bugs, rewrite a lot of code, and actually quality test all of the new changes before the next tournament started. Probably the most important thing I gained was that I did not have to rush.
Past tournaments have had lots of rushes to finish up all of the changes before the next tournament. Usually there is a one month break between them, and while I try to start on changes for the next tournament before the break, it is difficult to work on new content and fix old at the same time. There is also the factor of school, which takes up a lot of my time, and I cannot dedicate a lot to this, over school.
So, now that you know the background, here are the changes:

Rule and out of Game Changes:
- Research is now based on hitting a point limit for each item, instead of chance
- Weekday/Infiltration has been removed
-- Teams can now choose to have a normal attack or an infiltration attack during the regular battles
- Automation
-- Character XP is dynamically handled by the game and web server.
--- No More characters.ini corruption
--- Instantaneous xp updates on the website
-- Vehicle kills/steals and territory changes are handled dynamically
--- After each battle the game server and web server automatically handle any change in territory and destroy vehicles that were lost. Any stolen vehicles are added, and if that stolen vehicle is from research that the team does not have, then the team gains that research.
- New Team Selection
That is all for now, if I remember something I've forgotten, I will added it here.
