Battle Of The Elite is a tournament which is an invitation
only tournament to which invited BBS's/TWGS systems who have are running active TradeWars 2002 games can send a team of players representing their respective BBS's.

How the BBS's comes up with their team is totally up to the individual BBS, democracy, monarchy, no one really care, just that each BBS only got to submit one team.

It was originally by design supposed to be a tourney for the best of the best, where you weren't necessarily playing with the players of your corp, but where you united with your enemies to give your home board the honor and fame it deserved.
