Max Rank of C- is allowed, though if you are a player that has hit C and played in DRTL exceptions may be made on a case by case basis. 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's the best we can do
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 tournament inelgibility
After that, the 16 players will be randomly seeded into a single elimination bracket. Maps will be predecided.

Where: Channel op DRIT @ ICCup is common meeting place, but any server can be used
Who can play: This league is only for D-/D/D+/C- rank players who are willing to participate consistently. This means MAX RANK. On ANY account. You cannot signup with a D/C- account if you have been C or higher on another.
You may ask to play even if you don't fit the criteria and we will review the case.
**The exception are players with previous DRTL/DRIT entries. Most of these players are exempt for having to inform me of their situation as I already am aware.**
How to sign up: You can indicate your interest by posting your:
TL Name: XXXXX ICCup Akas: Main ID, other known ID 1, other known ID 2, etc. Highest Max Rank achieved on ANY account Race/Matchups: (Please just use letters, ie. TvZ/PvT instead of the tlpd icons. It's much easier to read) DRTL Team you're on/Previous DRITs:
New Players to DRIT: Please include your ICCup account name that has at least 20 games played, minimum 10 replays at least 10 minutes long PM'd to LMaster. Your TL account must also be older than the start of this thread with minimal exceptions. The decisions by the admins for your entry are final.
There is one MAJOR difference. In this tour, D-/D/D+ players will essentially be playing a double elimination tour, and once eliminated will drop into a lower bracket containing just D-/D/D+ players. If you're C- and lose however, you're out. The purpose of this is to allow for a larger overall field and give D players a chance to play stronger guys, but also have a meaningful tournament within that
TL Name: LightningStrike ICCup Akas: Stardom[eMg] Highest Max Rank achieved on ANY account: C- on Stardom[eMg] Race/Matchups: Terran DRTL Team you're on/Previous DRITs: TAKK

Dunno if I'm eligible for this. I think I may be a little too good but I'll leave you to judge that. TL Name: Artanis[Xp] ICCup Akas: Artanis[Xp] Highest Max Rank achieved on ANY account: C on Artanis[Xp] in season #7 (~6 years ago). Highest since is D+ with 15-11, though I'd estimate my skill to be well in C-. Race/Matchups: Zerg DRTL Teams you're on/Previous DRITs: TAKK, Despa (sB in CRTL).
TL Name: HaFnium ICCup Akas: Main ID, other known ID 1, other known ID 2, etc: ghostse1800, corratec, snowdon_ranger Highest Max Rank achieved on ANY account: C- (season 12 so about 5 years ago, I am a bit rusty so if possible I'd like to be considered as D+ but of course it's up to you to judge the games, I have played twice in D/C- team league and will play once more) Race/Matchups: Protoss DRTL Khan (D/C- League)
