    I think it would be interesting to allow players with a rating of 1800+ to participate next time. But then there would be a maximum of two players on their team

    Sorry for my English. I use translator

      @skrat Past Feb's RCIV was an open rating tourny, and
      this coming Feb's RCVI will also be an open rating tourny.

          Draft has commenced,

          Players still needed to sign up as standby's.
          You will not be eligible for the draft process,
          but - if any players drop out at any time After the draft is complete,
          you may substitute for any player with a higher rating.

          All ratings from 800 to 1800 needed.

            Sign up below to be put in the Standby pool.
            Sign up for standby status is open thru out the whole tournament.
            Standby's who fill in for a game will be credited for a whole match.
            Any prize monies will be dived between players by
            percentage of matches played.

                  I don't know if any one else mentioned, but there's certainly some issues with starting locations on some of the maps not being symmetrical. Would you like some help fixing that?

                    Hi @Conorach, Thank You very much for the offer to help, but..

                    The Rainbow Cup tournaments have been using variable start spawns for the last 2 Tournaments and for this one also.

                    It's a 3 way FFA of sorts and players can strategize their line ups for each map.
                    Many maps "only" have 3 start spawns, but
                    many maps also have from 4-6 starting spawn sites to choose from.

                    ie: Map #1 - (which has been the starting map for RC III - V)
                    Here you can spawn in any of the 5 "open" spawns available.
                    (if the map, labels them closed, than you can not choose those spots)01AdTournDec1a.jpg
                    .

                    See post #2 at top of this forum,
                    for the tournament rules, explaining team colors, mods, maps and
                    the directions each captain should know to be able to host the game lobby and
                    set the options properly:
                    https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4033/rainbow-cup-v-3v3-1-800-1-200/2

                    This is the from the "Directions" section, in Post #2:
                    When there are > 3 "open" start spawns,
                    follow this procedure to select team starting positions:
                    1 - !Roll - winner chooses to be: "team 1" or "team 2".
                    2- Team 1 - chooses side of map, team color, and set's up first.
                    3- Team 2 - sets up second.
                    4- Team 1 - can then choose to play "as is", Or
                    ----has an option for a "One time only/permanent" position change.
                    5- Team 2 - can then play "as is", Or
                    ----make a Final positional change. (get the last move)
                    6- Position AI, set Factions, and color them Green.
                    7- Close any open positions
                    8- Launch Game.

                    If any one else would also like to help out....
                    You can do so, by..... reporting any bugs or desynchs to
                    the AI Discord channel Bug reports and issue's section, here:
                    https://discord.com/channels/619646141306503181/619647554262401064
                    The AI department is very welcoming and helpful.
                    Please briefly discribe the issue, and if possible please include the
                    game replay link, and the game log.
                    Any issues you may find, will help this tourny run more smoothly.
                    Thanks!

                      Ahh it makes sense now. Thanks for letting us understand. We can choose where in the 5 spots we wish to spawn!

                      Great 🙂 Thanks so much @Fearghal !

                        Captains,
                        when preparing and strategizing for the upcoming battles...
                        remember that the game scenario's posted so far, are "early" intelligence reports.
                        We still have a few days, before we make contact with enemy.
                        Our enemies are dynamic, and on the move.
                        Battle lines are still being drawn.
                        Forces may be stronger or weaker than expected,
                        the enemy may have even changed locations,
                        it's also quite possible that... there may be more enemy bases present then expected.

                        Prepare as best as you can.
                        Learn the maps, and be ready for everything and anything possible.
                        We will not know with certainty what awaits us until about 1 day before battles commence.
                        (when updated map scenario's will be released)
                        A good commander, Will adapt to unforeseen circumstances and come out on top.

                        Day One is going to be all 10x10 Land maps.
                        Day Two and Three will have some water maps and some 20x20 maps.

                        Here are the maps being used as of today:
                        RCVMaps.jpg *L, W, A + I = Land, Water, Air and Island type maps.

                                Some maps did stay the same, but

                                    Day 1 was pretty fun!

                                    I hope the casters cab cast day 2 as well and I recommend they get an early start and cast the average joes v ythona matches from last night, they were great games!
