This. EQ is as a game revolves largely around strategy and preparation, and by making the format of the event secret you totally kill that aspect of the game. This isn't quake live arena match, and enchanter on the whole is the type of class where strategy and preparation will probably dictate who wins since it isnt a particularly offensive class.
I dont understand why the change of format now. Clerics werent expected to keep a tank up during their fight, and a cleric v. cleric duel is just as boring as a ench. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for alternative format pvp events, but why not finish the enchanter one off like all the rest and then start a new tourney with alternate rules? Just seems silly to wait all this time to finish botb, only to do so with a secret format that diverts from that which was used for the rest of the tournament.

Nothing secret - we've been pretty open about doing the Enchanter BoTB as close to Live as possible. We were able to collect enough information on the actual Live event to be comfortable with recreating it that way. There is definitely some descriptions of what that may entail that you can find by searching the Internet - but it's my understanding that the Live Enchanter BoTB was more or less announced, hyped, and ran the same way we are doing it here.
The goal will be to kill your opponent. There will be no other type of victory (like the warrior for the Cleric BotB was a "secondary victory" - none of that will be present)*
