Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. My recommendation would be to limit the number of max points to 5500. Realistically, if you can get past 5300, you can get to B- by playing a lot of games. I pick 5500 because it's a nice medium between the benchmark of C+ and the next rank up. My reasoning is that ideally, the tournament should be for people who get in the C ranks, and some people who hit C+, not for people who can mow down C/C+ people with relative ease. Stuff like that reminds me of "12 year olds" playing in Little League Baseball who are 6'2 with a full face of hair.

Whoa, hold your horses. Before we start naming names, you have to keep something in mind - some rules have exceptions. For example, let's say we have a C+ player who got to 5700 points, but he/she was like a 40% record after 200 games. That would be well in the range of being beatable, making it viable for you to join as C- and still feel competitive.



No, there's not a problem. They would need an enormous amount of practice to reach the next letter rank. I should clarify - if they can comfortably get to 5300 or so with 50-60% win ratio, then they can scratch their way to B-.

By that logic, if you hit b- you can get to B just play more games... Wait, if you can hit B you can hit B+... I think we found a problem here.

First off:

Thanks Nina for being awesomely cool. I think I kinda expressed my logic for calling it "Season One" and I think its fitting as long as we all remember the amazingness of the initial YSL. If lots of people feel it should be season two I can always change it.

Secondly: As with all tours, the issue of the cutoff point has been reached. I dont want to exclude all people who have hit B-. If you can play in the CRTL you can play in the YSL as far as I'm concerned. The future seasons will have 52 player slots and there will be plenty of room for folks all over the C range. I'm okay with players who have peaked at B- but live comfortably in the C Ranks. Much like the CRTL.

Sign up if you feel like you fit in. If people complain, or if the team of tour admins I will be assembling soon reject you, you will just be left out.

Yay! YSL fun awesome time.

Keep in mind that the B- players who played in CRTL were not considered to be C rankers. There was a max of two B- per team, they weren't ordinary C rankers so it wasn't like they were thought of as people who had hit B- before and then came down from that previous high. For plenty, they were active B- players, and some were playing at a level higher than that, such as Cryoc and WandS.

again 'starleague' and again something for 'yellow' ranks ...
nowadays every single tour must be a starleague?
+ these tours with limitation of max rank are pointless imo and boring
I am not fan of it
