@Dro said in Rainbow Cup III ~ 3 v 3 ~ $1.2K:
sign me up if someone drops
There are multiple players who have asked to be put on the standby list since the draft period ended.
So, I am reopening the tournament to new players who would like a "chance" to play.
Players who wish to play will be put on a "Restricted" Standby list
and have an opportunity to play.
The way the Standby list and the Restricted Standby list will work, is as follows:
ANY player on the pre draft - Standby list can fill in for anyone no matter the rating differential.
A player on the 'restricted' standby list can Only fill in for a player with a higher rating.
See list of players on standby and restricted standby here:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/858/rainbow-cup-iii-3-v-3-1-2k/2
ie: A 1640 rated player drops out and needs replacement -
the team captain can choose an 1800 player from the stanby list or
a player rated 1639 or lower from the restricted list.
So....... If you missed the initial draft and still would like a chance at play,
sign up now for the restricted standby list.
We now have an additional 4 players on the restricted list.

**The reason I opened the registration again is because the standby pool is not very strong,
and if a team looses a player, it is not very fair to that team.
(And for the viewers who are eager to watch the most competitive matches they can)
The players who are already on the standby list have already been passed over in draft
and all 12 captains have had a chance to pick them once,
so rating does not matter as far as replacing someone who was already picked before them.
but... New player who register now,
have Not had chance to be picked so can Not replace someone with a lower rating.
There is 'minimal' chance to abuse this system,
as someone would have to of known and planned ahead of time to "make a swap" .
I expect all to abide by the good faith of our FAF community, and not abuse this opportunity.
But if someone forgets to set alarm clock, or has an emergency,
I would like for the remaining team players to have a deeper player pool to choose from.
