If you already saw this coming, it's all AUrankAdminGoogleFrog 's fault.

Have you been thinking to yourself after LR #9 finals "man, GBrankPRO_rANDY is only 39 points away, it'd be cool to see him get first in the rankings. Or maybe even for USrankAdminSteel_Blue to claim his destined 3rd place slot."?

Well, you'd be in luck because next week, the real final week of LR Series One is the
BONUS ROUND!!!
GET CARRIED EDITION!



Tournament starts at 19:00 UCT.

Bracket is here: https://challonge.com/LR1BR

The special rules of this event are quite simple:

* The event is 2v2 and you sign up below, not on Challonge. Bracket will be on there per normal.

* There are special team creation rules. If you're a Blue rated player or above, you must team with someone Silver rank or below. I will check, so don't try to cheese the rule. Team rule does not apply to golds teaming with golds, etc. (Low rank partnering with low rank).

* There is a SUPER SPECIAL MAP POOL that will feature mostly normal but a few wonky maps.

Now you may ask, why should I play in the tournament if the 1v1 points are sealed away?

Well, that's a great question.

You will get BONUS 1v1 points based on how your team places in the 2v2 tournament.

* 1st place participants get 400 pts per person

* 2nd place participants get 200 pts per person

* 3rd place participants get 100 pts per person

CURRENT TEAMS:

GBrankPRO_rANDY / NLranknr1_rANDY_FAN
JPrankQrow / LUrankAdminAnir
USrankAdminSteel_Blue / USrankteddmcfred
DErankbloa / DErankbhaktivedanta
NLrankWinsalot / DErankMagman

You can sign up below, but please join the LR discord for real time updates and such. You can join here.

The only way you can be gold or lower is by not having played more than a dozen or two ranked casual games, so the team restriction is going to be weird or super gamey. Casual silver starts at 2000 WHR or so, which is at least the matchmaking rating of almost everybody who's played in the 1v1 tournaments.

(I was a proud matchmaking gold sitting in the 30s on the ladder until playing a couple 1v1 tournaments pushed me up a rank, how sad)

I have only played casual games and I'm still my rank.

someone at least Silver rank or below

This is ambiguous and probably shouldn't say "at least".

I was getting confused by this for awhile, and figured out what the issue was. You are stating here, If you are >= silver , you must pair with someone who is <= silver. Following this logic, a blue player may pair with a silver player. BUT, a silver player may not pair with a blue player, as he must pair with someone silver or below. It may be clearer to just say that blues and purples must pair with silver or below.

That is probably just a legacy of when the rules were that a silver or above must pair with a gold or below.

I need some help with the starting time. 19:00 UST (Timezone of USA?)
So 19:00 UST = 00:00 UTC?
I would like to participate, but need to figure out my time. ;-)

I don't think UST exists and is probably a typo? Previous tournaments have been at 19:00 UTC.

Okay.
I would like to participate.
If someone needs a second player for their team, pm me. :-)
I've been working on turning blue for as long as the colors existed, but so far I've never achieved that goal.
So I can team up with anyone who needs a second player.
