RCV - AI Masters ~ 3v3 ~ $1,200

New Tournament Rating Calculating method
to determine ratings of players with 1 rating above 1800, where
there is a "small" sample size and
Where the players next highest rating has a greater than 100 game history.
The next highest rating - will "weigh" that rating with a 100 game weight.
That Rating will be combined in proportion with the >1800 small sample rating as
described below:

Example:
Use this formula, to find a Tournament Rating:
(>1800 rating x small sample game total) + (Lower rating x 100 game weight) = (Multiplied ratings / combined game total) = New rating.

Example of the One time this rule has been used "so far" in this tournament:
Exselsior's new RC tournament rating will be
(Glb) 1714 x 100 games + (4v4) 1874 x 26 games = 220384/126 = 1749 Combined adjusted rating
.

Remember >1,800 players....
There is going to be another open Rainbow Cup at end of February where
historically everyone above 1,800 has
been picked to play in the 12 team, 3 man teams.
Hope to see you soon in the next Open!

Remember the idea is to have as many players be able to participate in this 'fun' tourney as possible.
One small sample size +1,800 rating should not disqualify a person.
Lets have fun and also HELP out the AI Mod Developers.
If you play versus AI from time to time....
now is the chance to help give back a little to the AI teams... by just participating
Thanks

Can you register Popiska and Plunder in one team pls?

Hi Rowan,
This tourney is for under 1,800* rated players.
The previous RC's were all Open rated.

Good news though is that the Next Rainbow Cup - RCVI - 3v3 on Feb 25th,
Will once again be an Open rating tourny.

@fearghal alrighty sounds good!

As the Singles registration draft pool fills up...

to be drafted on to the already registered 2 player teams starting on 9/12.

Draft starts from the 12th seeded team, and
proceeds on upward to 1st seeded team.

Still looking for 8 more teams of 2 and
some more singles.

If you have weekend of Sept 24/25 free....
ask a friend to play, and
get a very good - Three in Twelve chance to
take home some sweet $$$ winnings and a cool avatar.

excuse me i should be captain

@deli
Hi Deli,
To be a captain... you have to sign up with another player as a 2 person team.

Players that sign up as Doubles and
are the higher rated player of the 2 person team is considered the captain.

The 12 teams will draft "pick" :
from the Singles pool to make up their 3rd team member.

If you sign up as a single:

• you have to wait until after the registration is over,
  and the draft begins,
  to see which team draft's you onto their team.

12 single players will be drafted to play on the 12 Teams.
Lowest rated team drafting first.
Then the next 11 teams will make a draft pick,
up sequentially to the highest rated team with the last draft pick.

But, remember...
YOU can always join with a friend at any time,
and then be a captain of one of the 12 teams,

You can also ask any of the other singles in the draft pool now, to join you.
The players in the single's pool are "free agents" and can join with
anyone, at any time, if they so choose, or
they can remain in the singles pool and wait for the draft.

Check Post #4 above to see the current
teams and singles.

In that case - Rowey and I join up as a team, instead of individuals!

@jip
Sure thing>
You are now signed as doubles.
Team name = Average joes

I_FORGORtheSCENE signing up cuz it seems like people don't wanna sign up for whatever ungodly reason.
Around 1600 global and like 1400 in 4v4.

@i_forgorthescene
I think because it's still early, and
people want to make sure they have the weekend clear, and
are probably still finding friends to sign up with.

We Just opened a channel on FAF Discord here:
https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/1005101460129857598
Which should help get the word out some more.

EVERYONE who wants to play.... should sign up as
there is very good chance you will be picked to play on one of the 12 teams.
