Is there a pre-tournament sign up or will we be signing up day of?

Anyone who spends an extended amount of time pvping knows, the empire has fallen pretty far in pvp terms. There are still some good players on empire, but as far as guilds go; I've yet to see a formidable guild rated team. Right now, the best players are on republic. Just don't feel the need to stroke people's egos, they know who they are

No tournament happened to my knowledge, We (Classified) and Credit Shot stood out there waiting for people to show up, but only encountered trolls. Pretty disappointed that not only did the tournament not happen, there's seemingly little to no coordination. I'm now hearing it might be tonight? I'm extremely disappointed if it last minute got moved without much mention, because the guilds who want to do this and are ready to do this are getting pretty much overlooked

Is this tournament still happening? We (Classified) have been attending all of the dueling tournaments that have been put together since the summer and are really looking forward to this. If security is going to be an issue again, we'll gladly help secure the area. (The healing half of jack and sicarii)

I think one of 3 things needs to happen here within the community. First, like many have said, just boycott Ilum. This makes sense but will it really get the message across? Secondly, and I am ware this is a bit drastic but bare with me: A complete and total community wide boycott of the republic faction. I know this sounds kind of crazy, but if no one is playing republic, we are in a way breaking the game. This would show bioware that they have made an unplayable faction. Lastly, we just do a mass unsub. I think that is a bit drastic, but if that's the only way to get a message across so be it. I LOVED this game. I loved the pvp, even with the apparent imperial bias, however after what I've experienced today, I just can't even bother to log in anymore.
