      Registration is now open to players rated <1800* and below.

      The registration period will end at 2400 EST on Sept 11th,
      and the draft will start on Sept 12th.

      Players may register as Doubles or as a Single.
      Doubles are restricted to a combined rating of 3.5K rating.

      The 12 highest combined rated Doubles who register will get to play together on the same team.
      Doubles teams that are not in the top 12 combined ratings ranking,
      will be disbanded and placed in the singles registry list,
      to possibly be drafted by one of the top 12 teams.

      The 12 teams will be seeded according to their Combined ratings and
      get to draft their 3rd team member from the singles draft pool.
      The draft will start from the lowest seeded team up to the highest seeded team.

      To Register:
      Leave your FAF player name (and team member if signing up as team),
      along with the highest of your Global, 1v1, 2v2 or 4v4 FAF rating below.

          Hi Unknow,
          Thanks for signing up, but......
          I'm sorry to inform you that
          Your current Global and 1v1 are both above 1,800 and
          you did get to play in RCIV.

          This Tourney is for players below the 1,800 rating cap.

          There is another Rainbow Cup (RCVI) planned for Feb that will be an open rating tournament for all.
          Hope to see you there

            For those who have NOT played in the previous Rainbow Cups III or IV, AND
            are currently "Slightly" above 1800, due to a recent spike, AND
            your previous last years timeline averages below the 1800 mark...
            Can request to sign up, and
            a decision will be made as to your true skill level, and
            may be admitted.
            Someone with a higher than average 1,800 rating timeline will not be admitted,
            as everyone who registered for the last Rainbow Cup
            with a rating higher than 1,800 did get drafted and was able to play in the last tourney.

            This tourney is for players who have Not had ratings high enough to be drafted in the previous 2 open RC's.
            Thank You for understanding.

              Also if someone were to be under 1800 now but get better by September 11th what happens? Obviously not me but hypothetically

                Anyone on screen shot of todays ratings who is now below 1800,
                but rises above 1800 can be admitted to play.
                See screen shot in post #7 below:

                        Players signing up as a single,
                        can still join and pick a team mate to sign up,
                        as part of doubles team any time before the registration period ends.

                        Signing up Now as a single will let others now you are a "Free Agent" now and
                        may be willing to join someone's team if they so desire,
                        or they may remain in the "singles draft pool" until draft begins.

                            Some have suggested having team names for the tourney would be fun 🙂
                            So... If teams prefer... they can sign up with a Team Name.
                            If no Team Name given before tourney start,
                            players FAF names will be used in the Challonge Tourney Brackets instead.

                            Therefore,
                            players signing up as Doubles may also include a Team Name along with the
                            two players names and ratings.

                                      I would like to apply for this. I have no teammate, so yeah ... I am slightly above 1800 i think.

                                        I'd like to sign up - I'm 1800+ one week, then 1800- the next.

                                          Hi edtjuh,
                                          Sorry to inform you that this is an <1,800* rating tournament with
                                          some minor exceptions, described below,
                                          and you have (2) > 1,800 ratings - (Glb =1,900 and 2v2 =1,880)

                                          *If.....
                                          You only had the 38 game 2v2 rating of 1,880 rating, AND
                                          you next highest >100 game history rating was "say 1720 global rating"..
                                          We would be able to combine weigh the 2 ratings to get a sub 1800 rating,
                                          and be able to register.

                                          Hope to see you in the Rainbow Cup VI Open Rating tourny in February.

                                            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!
