Please read below. There have been some MAJOR changes!
THE BIG CHANGE: This is going back to true D-/D/D+ ONLY.if you have hit C- at ANY point you'll be ineligible this time around. In case of seemingly strong players without ladder results they will be evaluated by a committee consisting of myself, and several others (TBA). It's subjective, but that is how it's going to be done.
It hasn't been an issue in the past but I want to be abundantly clear. If you have been C-/C/B/A++ at any point, do NOT post your max rank as D+ xxxx pts. This applies to any account. If you've been 5000 pts on one account, but only 2700 on another your max rank must be posted as 5000.
Failure to read and follow this properly will result in a permanant ban from ALL future D Ranks events.[/big]

Wish I could sign up for this but I can't make Group Stages (actually I can't make any of them cuz I have school Friday morning, the sad life of a high schooler, but individual matches are easy to reschedule, group stages not so much)

Pretty sure they're supposed to be Saturday. He did the wrong date-stamp, listing them as 2013, not 2014.

Done.
Note that groups begin a little earlier than the others as starting around 22:00 is a bit late for EU guys.
