The requirements to enter the Ballista Royale tournament are as follows:
(Note: you do not need the in-game key item "Ballista License" to enter the tournament.)
- A team of 6 to 10 players with a designated leader must be formed.
Only 6 team members can participate in any one match. The participating members can be selected or changed before each match.
- Team members participating in a match must all have different jobs.
One special rule for this tournament is that the 6 team members participating in a match must all have different jobs. An overlap between the participating members and the non-participating members is allowed, however.
- Each player must have the "FINAL FANTASY XI: Chains of Promathia" expansion disk installed on their console or PC, and be registered with the "Chains of Promathia" expanded service.
- Each participant acknowledges that, when becoming finalists, he/she is required to be physically present at the location of the Final Tournament. However, as a sole exception, up to 3 participants per team may join the matches from any locations via Internet.
- If the finalist is minor, it will be necessary to obtain consent from his/her parent or a legal guardian to attend the Final Tournament.
- The participants acknowledge that Square Enix and the sponsors will not pay or reimburse any expenses incurred by the participants for attending the Final Tournament, including but not limited to transportation or lodging.
How to Enter
You can enter Ballista Royale through the following steps:
- The designated team leader applies first using the "Team Entry" application form, and enters the necessary information. The "Team Name" and "Team Password" entered here will be needed by prospective team members to apply through "Member Entry," so team leaders should make sure to pass this information along to each member.
* Only one entry is allowed per PlayOnline ID, and the applicant can only be the leader or member of one team.
- After the Team Entry application is processed, applicants who wish to be members of the team can apply through the "Member Entry" application form.
* Up to 10 members can be registered on a team.
* The team leader does not need to apply through the "Member Entry" form.
* Once an applicant is registered as a member of a team, that applicant cannot register as a leader or member of another team.
Confirming Entry Status
Entry status can be checked using the following procedure:
Team leaders: Select "Team Entry"
Team members: Select "Member Entry"
*A list of all registered team members will be displayed when the command is selected.
The team leader can cancel entry into the tournament by going to the "Team Entry" screen and disbanding the team (when a team is disbanded, a notification will be sent to each registered member via PlayOnline mail). Team members can cancel their own entry into the tournament by going to the "Member Entry" screen.
*New entries will not be accepted for any reason after the application period.
