 Please include "Rattler Cup Finals" in the subject line

 

Registration at Imperial Outpost will start at 10 am
Game 1 begins at 11 am
we will use standard ITC FAQ, army construction rules, and missions


I want to thank everyone at the Imperial Outpost for their help
If you have any questions about the tournament please direct them here as the store staff is not involved in the tournament organization

 

I cannot stress enough anyone can play in this event
But I also want to go over how the season standings affect this particular tournament

 

• I will take the Rattler Cup Standings based all players who have competed in at least 2 events based events thru 12/31/2015

 

• The top 25 players will receive points as if they had played a "Round Zero" of the tournament
• For example
• Whoever is in first place will receive 1000 points, as if they had won their first game
• the player who is second will receive 960 points
• The third place player will receive 920 points
• and so on deducting 40 points from the previous
• This will be posted prior to the event
• In case anyone was wondering, as the TO, I feel it is not best interest of the event to also compete in the event. So any of you counting on an easy win against my Dark Eldar, please make other plans ;)

 

• Round One will be paired in Reverse Swiss format
• So if you have a higher standings from the season,
• You will play a lower ranked player round 1

• After that, standard Swiss Pairings will be used for Rounds 2 & 3
• and standard scoring for the tournament

• A Trophy will be awarded to the Winner of the Finals
• A Trophy will be awarded to the Overall Season Champion
• I will also have some additional awards to give out

Many of you have reached out to me that I may have missed an event you attended
Please: keep them coming. You are not bothering me. I want this to be as accurate as possible. But I need all corrections in by Dec 31, 2015

Quick Apology

I did not know the gang from Tucson was running an ITC event this past weekend


Had I know I would have promoted it more here


Sorry to the Mad Hatter's Team and look forward to your results being posted

Rattler Cup Standings Thru December

It will be at Imperial Outpost on December 19th

Please note: some of you have more than 4 events played but the standings only show four. 
Its just the fastest way to ensure only the top four scores are counted

Scott Freeman: your results from LVO Highlander are included

Rattler Cup Standings thru Salt River Rumble

Here are the standings so far.

I won't get to deep into analysis as we know the event from Empire is already in the books and will drastically change what you see here.

The last (scheduled as of this post) ITC event in AZ is 12/19 at Imperial Outpost

If you do not have at least 2 ITC events you will be at a severe disadvantage at the Rattler Cup Finals

I have included a link below showing all the data I have so far
If I missed anything please comment below

Many times misspelling of name can create two players when they are the same guy

Rattler Cup Finals

The finals are set

• Saturday, January 23rd
• Imperial Outpost Games
• Registration begins at 10 am 

 

The idea is this should wrap of the local season plus give everyone a good practice run for the Las Vegas Open.




The basics:

• 1850 point lists
•  ITC format & missions
•  the same terrain we saw at the last IO event with the Scorched Earth Terrain

The original idea was to do a invitation event for the championship. But why run such a fun event and exclude so many people? Especially as we have had a surge of new players late in the season? But what about the guys who have been killing it all season long?




I got all of you covered.

• Anyone can play in the finals and has a chance to win
• Players who have played in at least 2 events prior will receive seeding points based on the Rattler Cup standings
• Short an event this season, there is one on 12/19 at Imperial Outpost
• If I am missing an out of town ITC event let me ASAP
• These points will added to Round 0, with all other players getting 0 points
• After that, it will be a three rounds best score wins

The exact seeding will be determined based on your Rattler Cup Standings on January 1, 2016


More details to come

Season Look in Depth

We have a brief lull before we end the year with three ITC events locally before the Rattler Cup Finals. Let us use this time to se what is happening within the standings


Our top 4 remain unchanged
Derek Page in 1st
Nathan Cartwell in 2nd
Don Hooson in 3rd
Jaminh Vo in 4th




Adam Steffen saw the biggest jump, climbing 20 spots to #5 with a big win at the last event at Imperial Outpost




Brandon Minor also had a strong performance at that event. His strong finish boost right behind Adam in the #6 spot




Mark Fallous moved up to #8, but this is a huge 15 spot jump for him after another strong outing




After a long absence Eric Cacace was able to pick up 9 spots


Geoff Dewitt was able to leap 7 spots




Jay Gardner-Hajek drops 2 spots to #7. I know school hampers his ability to get to more events but after a strong start it would be a shame to waste the season


Aaron White & Zeke Price drop 3 spots to 9th & 10th place respectively

Rattler Cup Standings thru Siege on IO

Big shake up in the standings after our last event. Standings so far are below.

We had a few new faces which is awesome! If I missed any of your out of town events please let me know by posting below

Time is running out as we have only 3 months left in the season and few stores run tournaments during the holidays.

There will another analysis post later this week
