RCVI - Venus Rising ~ 3v3 ~ $1,500

Fearghal · 3 Apr 2023, 22:12

The RCVI Team formation and draft is now over.
Congratulations to all who were drafted!
Those who were not selected in the initial draft, are
now placed in the Standby Pool.
These players are able to stand-in and substitute for ANY players,
who are not able to make one of the tournaments 3 days of play,
no matter their ratings.
The Restricted standby pool players are "only" able to substitute for
players with higher ratings.

Todays Daily Reminder:

The Players starting position selection process,
when there are more than 3 starting spawn options -
has a minor change this year.

RCIV had Captain's - "!Roll" to decide
which team would set up "last".

But.. there are scenario's where the !Roll winner may,
want to set up first (and get to choose side and color)

So.. This RC gives the !Roll winners the option to -
Set up either - "First or Second".

Below are the Official Directions:
See post #2 in the Forum here:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/5400/rainbow-cup-vi-3v3-1-500/2

Directions:

When there are 3 start spawns:
Captains can pick any side or color.
If they can not agree....
!Roll for the map side or color.
The !Roll winner gets to choose one,
and the loser gets to choose the other.

When there are > 3 start spawns:
Follow this procedure to select team starting positions:
1- !Roll - winner chooses to be either - "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 start play "as is", or
---- make a "one time only/permanent" position change.
5- Team 2 - can start play "as is", or
----make a final positional change - "get the last move"
6- Position AI, set factions, and color.
7- Close any open positions
8- Launch Game.

Daily Reminder and Tip:

This is a Team color tournament with up to 4 different teams on map.
Please...Be sure to "color up" the sides properly to help distinguish teams.

Tip:
There are only 2 rules in this tournament, so...
Make sure to double check Player and AI colors before "X'ing up"
Failure to pick proper colors can allow the other team to
force a re-start.
You don't want to have a great start, and
have the other team get a 2nd chance by "pausing" and
forcing a restart.

Notice for Team players who will be hosting games:

Please help out the Tournament Directors by -
doing two things in the game lobby.

1-"x" the "hide default options "box" in the lobby.
---This is Very Important, as it enables the TD's and players in the game,
---to check the proper AIx cheat and build multipliers for each game.
-----With-out an "x" in this box the pertinent game options will not show in lobby.

2:- Hit the "Default Settings" button, so all default settings will be reset,
and only the game specific options will apply -
---Share conditions = Full Share
---AIx Omni Setting = Off
---AIx Cheat and Build multipliers = Set to specified multipliers.

FYI--- Lord_Asmodeus (aka-NOC) will be joining some lobbies to help
with game scenario setup's.
Please give him your cooperation, so he is able to expedite the process,
help other team's game lobbies and then join his own teams lobby as well.

Thank you, and good luck!

SpikeyNoob · 10 Mar 2023, 21:11

Rowey · 10 Mar 2023, 21:16

Sure i can download them and shoot them to you when ever

Fearghal · 3 Oct 2023, 21:57

@rowey and @SpikeyNoob
Thanks guys, would be great to have them broken up into
individual games and saved on YT.
Also...
Can we save to "Favorites" on our Twitch site so..
the entire stream will be saved.
It's nice to hear the "banter" in between games too
