      Your system is essentially the idea I was going to run with for the upcoming 4v4 event. I think it’s fine generally. The point of the 2200 ceiling rule is to encourage the top segment of FAF to actually play and have teammates they have regularly played with and therefore enjoy playing with. Since the highest level of lobbies is usually 1800+ a 4100 cap makes it possible for all players to be able to play with somebody they are at least sort of acquainted with. No idea if that’s why you adopted the rule here but that’s the intent behind it.

        YES,, I read your whole 4v4 thread and liked all the reasons behind the
        2200 player ceiling and the 4.1K combined ratings.
        I think this format will work very well!

          Registration is now open to players rated <1800* and below.

          The registration period will end at 2400 EST on Sept 11th,
          and the draft will start on Sept 12th.

          Players may register as Doubles or as a Single.
          Doubles are restricted to a combined rating of 3.5K rating.

          The 12 highest combined rated Doubles who register will get to play together on the same team.
          Doubles teams that are not in the top 12 combined ratings ranking,
          will be disbanded and placed in the singles registry list,
          to possibly be drafted by one of the top 12 teams.

          The 12 teams will be seeded according to their Combined ratings and
          get to draft their 3rd team member from the singles draft pool.
          The draft will start from the lowest seeded team up to the highest seeded team.

          To Register:
          Leave your FAF player name (and team member if signing up as team),
          along with the highest of your Global, 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4 FAF rating below.

              Hi Unknow,
              Thanks for signing up, but......
              I'm sorry to inform you that
              Your current Global and 1v1 are both above 1,800 and
              you did get to play in RCIV.

              This Tourney is for players below the 1,800 rating cap.

              There is another Rainbow Cup (RCVI) planned for Feb that will be an open rating tournament for all.
              Hope to see you there

                For those who have NOT played in the previous Rainbow Cups III or IV, AND
                are currently "Slightly" above 1800, due to a recent spike, AND
                your previous last years timeline averages below the 1800 mark...
                Can request to sign up, and
                a decision will be made as to your true skill level, and
                may be admitted.
                Someone with a higher than average 1,800 rating timeline will not be admitted,
                as everyone who registered for the last Rainbow Cup
                with a rating higher than 1,800 did get drafted and was able to play in the last tourney.

                This tourney is for players who have Not had ratings high enough to be drafted in the previous 2 open RC's.
                Thank You for understanding.

                  Put me in coach

                  Also if someone were to be under 1800 now but get better by September 11th what happens? Obviously not me but hypothetically

                    Anyone on screen shot of todays ratings who is now below 1800,
                    but rises above 1800 can be admitted to play.
                    See screen shot in post #7 below:

                            Players signing up as a single,
                            can still join and pick a team mate to sign up,
                            as part of doubles team any time before the registration period ends.

                            Signing up Now as a single will let others now you are a "Free Agent" now and
                            may be willing to join someone's team if they so desire,
                            or they may remain in the "singles draft pool" until draft begins.

                                Some have suggested having team names for the tourney would be fun 🙂
                                So... If teams prefer... they can sign up with a Team Name.
                                If no Team Name given before tourney start,
                                players FAF names will be used in the Challonge Tourney Brackets instead.

                                Therefore,
                                players signing up as Doubles may also include a Team Name along with the
                                two players names and ratings.

                                          I would like to apply for this. I have no teammate, so yeah ... I am slightly above 1800 i think.

                                            I'd like to sign up - I'm 1800+ one week, then 1800- the next.
