===============Update=================================================

 

On Saturday we stopped the match and disqualified the team from participating further in the tournament.  After taking yesterday and today to painstakingly review the footage and do our own testing we have come to the conclusion that the Rune Knight on Madea goes to USRC was not using nodelay or programs to bypass the cast times for Dragon's Breath.
 
We replicated the character onto a GM account, equipped and provided buffs equivalent to what was present during USRC and determined that the casts were not impossible for that character to have performed. 
 
I personally apologize to the Madea goes to USRC team on behalf of the Gravity staff for the disqualification, which was based on our judgement of the situation and available information that Saturday. We did not want to bring the tournament to a halt to do a full investigation/pull logs/recreate characters due to the limited time and personnel that would be available. 
 
The things we have been testing during USRC and analyzing this week will help us to better identify cases of nodelay during WoE from the reports we have received and we have been sending proposals to kRO for changes that would mitigate or eliminate the issues that make illegally accelerated skill use possible.

==================================================================================

This year, our USRC tournament will be taking place on Saturday, September 20th at 10am PDT this year. 

 

Teams are composed of 7 members, including the team leader. You can only have one of each class.
 
Only planning for a Renewal mechanics USRC this year. 
 
We have a minimum of 8 teams and a maximum of 24 teams for each tournament, and registration must be posted in the USRC threads before the Wednesday prior to the tournament.
 
Please register in this thread with your team name and emblem if you are going to field a team this year. 
 
We will have Sakray practice areas set up ASAP. 
 
Prizes planned to be the same as 2013's though we will have a set window where players can claim their prizes. 
 
The Kafra Point reward has to be once per Warpportal account. Teams with more than one account connected to a WP account will receive the KP on only one of the accounts. 
 
==============================Rules==============================
 
Rules will be subject to change. 
 
Registration cutoff is Friday, September 19th Noon PST
 
Renewal settings, 3rd classes allowed
Each team will consist of 7 players and must have at least 5 team members at the time of the match to be able to participate
The normal matches will be best 2 out of 3, when we move to determining the 4th-1st place matches it will be best 3 out of 5. 
 
The matches will last for 7 minutes, if it is a tiebreaking match the team with the most surviving characters will be awarded the match.
 
If it is clear that one team is not fighting or is hiding/fleeing to avoid an inevitable loss, the GMs will step in and declare the match over. 
 
Teams will have 2 minutes to restorck between matches, though if they can be ready sooner the match will start when everyone is ready. We cannot allow extra time for skills with longer cooldowns to expire, players must use them wisely during their matches.
 
If players are engaging in harassing or rude behavior during USRC the team leader will be warned once. On the second incident the team will be disqualified. 
 
Character level limits: 
 
Base level 135, job 50
 
1st job: 49 skill points, 2nd 69 skill points, 3rd 49 skill points Total of 167 skill points.
 
Restricted skills: 

Shadow Chaser: Manhole, Dimension Door, Masquerade Gloomy & Unlucky, Fatal Menace
Geneticist: Change Material
Sorcerer: Element Analyze

 

For this year's USRC we are not allowing players to wait out a long skill cooldown, or to switch out characters between matches. Players will need to be smart about when they use these skills. 

 

==============================Prizes==============================

$2000 initial prize pool for 1st-4th place (in KP) for a minimum of 8 teams participating

You should still post what the prizes are even if they are the same as last year. Not everyone was around last year.

 

Perhaps a link to the old post?

I think that it's fair to only have Malangdo enchantable items, but the winner should be able to pick what they want.

It's unfortunate that items like the twin edges can't be enchanted yet.
