        Registration is now open.

        To calculate a players RC tournament rating:
        We use the players highest leaderboard rating (200 game minimum)
        Jan 6th screenshot is used, with a 1 yr history database.
        Global rating has 50 points subtracted from rating.

        If highest rating is of a game type with - less than 200 games played...
        We will proportional blend the players next highest ratings to obtain a RC rating.

        Sign up below
        TD will assign ratings ~ No math required πŸ˜‰

                Going to use a combination of team sign-ups and drafting.
                With a 2 player team max rating of 4.1 K for pre draft registration.
                Players rated above 2.2 K will be capped at 2.2k for the 4.1K team sign up cap.
                Remainder of team players are drafted.

                    I have come up with a new
                    Team formation and Draft process,
                    for this tournament.

                    It allows Captains to register as a Single, or
                    with a playing partner as a 2 player team
                    But...
                    this method gives Captains a "trade option"
                    in round 1 of the draft (see below)
                    ...........

                    Players may register as a Single, or
                    as a 2 player team - with a 4.1K combined RC rating cap.
                    (Captains of these teams who are rated >2.2K have their
                    rating capped at 2.2K, - allowing the registering of
                    any player RC rated 1900 and less)

                    The top 8 rated players, registered as either
                    a Single, or as a 2 player team captain, are
                    made Tournament Captains

                    TEAM FORMATION and DRAFT PROCESS
                    Round 1 of draft:
                    Draft starts with the 8th seeded Captain and
                    continues sequentially up thru ALL 8 Captains.

                    When it is a Single Captains turn to draft he may:
                    choose ANY player in the draft pool,
                    whether or Not the combined team total rating is >4.1K.

                    When it is a 2 player Team Captain's draft turn,
                    he has TWO options:
                    1: He may "Pass" and Keep his pre-draft registered partner, or
                    2: He may "Trade" his Pre-Draft registered partner and
                    ----------"Draft" - ANY player in the draft pool,
                    thus sending his Pre-Draft registered partner to the draft pool.

                    Round 2 of draft:
                    8th seed Captain drafts Any player in the draft pool.
                    Continue draft process up to #1 seed Captain.

                    .

                    So what we basically have is:
                    A 2 round draft, with the
                    Captains option to register pre-draft with
                    any one mutually agreeable team player,
                    within a 4.1K rating cap.
                    But...
                    Still allows Captain's an Option to trade their pre-draft picks.

                    Any pre-draft player who was "traded" out - in Round 1 of the draft, is
                    immediately placed into the draft pool, and
                    has the rest of Round 1 and all of Round 2 to get drafted, and
                    possibly.. even by his original team πŸ™‚

                    I believe this method works very well, and
                    is "fairer" to the top seeded Captains in both -
                    weaker and stronger fields of players.
                    With a weaker field -
                    Captains will get to register pre-draft , and
                    "lock in" - one player of his choice.
                    With a stronger field -
                    Captains may have an option to trade out his pre-draft pick, and
                    draft a player that would of been above the pre-draft registration cap.

                              New Team Entrants!

                              Team "Venus" is entering the tournament as AI team #4
                              Venus is sending their 2 top commanders -
                              Commanders 'Deep Pink' and 'Shocking Pink' are
                              reporting for their first RC appearance.

                              Team "Spacenet" is AI team #3.
                              Spacenet has regrouped since their last defeat and
                              are now stronger than before.

                              Players may now find themselves in 4-way FFA Brawls-
                              With Team #2, Spacenet and Venus!RCVI TeamColor2.jpg

                              The 2 main reasons for adding another AI team:

                              1-Unbalanced AI behavior's and builds from some AI's, when...
                              ---AI's spawn on opposite sides of the map and assigned to same team.

                              2-FAF Live casters suggested adding a 4th AI during the last 2 RC casts :)~
