Some issues that Will clarified in the video comments. On how swapping alliances works: You'll be playing alongside the alliance you were in when you first joined the event (when you first click on the event button, there will be a pop-up that asks you to confirm that you want to join the event as part of that alliance), no matter how many times you swap afterwards.

And that is what I would like clarified. You join a bracket in an alliance, switch for pvp purposes, then come back. Alliance would change but bracket in Ultron would not?

The AvU leaderboard is for 20 people, so if your 20 person alliance joins the event leaderboard, you'll play the event with those 20 people. You can all leave the alliance and join another one. All the rewards for the event go to the people in that 20 person leaderboard; there are no alliance rewards. I hope that makes sense. The thing you need to be VERY CAREFUL of: If you form a 20 person alliance and then all join the AvU event, your leaderboard is full. If one person leaves the alliance, and someone else joins the alliance and tries to enter the event, they will get stuck in a leaderboard by themselves. I would recommend that you post how many people are in your leaderboard in alliance chat, so no one accidentally tries to join after 20 people are in the event. We can't fix this for that player; there's nothing we can do to switch them out of that leaderboard. They'll be stuck by themself (or with anyone else that joins late) in the event, and there's no scaling for smaller alliances. It's not ideal, and we're working on fixing this, but it won't be ready in time for both runs of this event.

They get put in a leaderboard of their own. Basically, recruitment of new members should be halted once the event starts, unless you have someone inactive.

New bracket starts, so that person will be the #1 on new bracket and have its own scores for the event, no help from the alredy full bracket.

( he is still in event alliance ) - 1 player joins and starts the event in this alliance. Will he be the 21th member for this PVE? Will this be the obvious flaw of the month, which devs & playtesters forget to realize? Other than that Deadpool's special will be able to kill Ultron.
