Week 3 of the Ranbat Reboot is upon us! We had a Labrys go all the way through winners, man...WINNERS.

You may be asking yourself: "What the heck is this?" It's simple! This Ranking Battle (the term of which ranbat originates,) is a way to keep competitive outside of the tournament scene, while interacting with different kinds of people!

These ranking battles will occur weekly! But there will be a slight difference as to how this one is run.

The ranbat season ends once someone amasses 50 POINTS. Once that occurs, the top 4 scoring players will meet in a Single Elimination, 3/5 Tournament to determine the overall champion of the season. Be on your A-game, because the season can end either very quickly, or take quite some time.

THE BASICS:

If you are in the Eastern United States (basically wherever the NBA Eastern Conference teams are hosted, so sorry New Orleans,) you'll be fine. West Coast players, if you wish yo enter, please message me FIRST. We can then do a test to see if you can maintain a 2 bar connection.)

FAQs

  • What if I cannot participate at a particular ranbat?
    It's no big deal. We all have lives that we must live, it is the essence of human existence. Register at your leisure.


  • How often is the Ranbat Reboot going to take place?
    Weekly, on Thursday Nights.


  • When do weekly registrations close?
    Thursday Nights at 9:45pm EST.


  • Will there be a way for us to communicate during the ranbat?
    Absolutely! Here's the instructions!

    1: Go to http://mibbit.com/
    2: Scroll to the bottom. Click the yellow button marked "Still interested? Chat now"
    3: Connect should be to "Mibbit [webirc]" (It is the default option.)
    4: Nick should be your DUSTLOOP ACCOUNT NAME (just so everyone knows who you are.)
    5: Channel = #RUIDLRanbatReboot

    Please note, everyone should be in the room by 9:45pm EST, so things can move smoothly.


  • Is there ANYTHING else that I should know?
    Yes there is, and these are some of the most important things about this ranbat.

    1) WILLFUL disconnects will incur a one (1) game penalty. If it happens a second time, that player forfeits the match.
    2) Off-Stream Matches must be reported as soon as they are finished.
    3) Most importantly: Try to enjoy yourselves! This is designed to be competitive, but fun can be experienced through competition!


  • If I miss my match, what happens?
    There is a 10 minute window for your match. If you miss it, you forfeit your match. If you will be late, PLEASE feel free to e-mail me at clintonbowman@outlook.com


  • Will there be weekly updates?
    Yes! Check out Hit-Confirm Live every Thursday night at 9pm for the score updates, as well as for any updates to the rules.

If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask them here!

How about we both play and work on some new stuff, when I get off work today? I've got a few setups I'd like to practice as well.

Edit: I'll be home around 7pm

Hm, well I certainly shouldn't turn this chance for practice down. I'll be good to play around 5, 4ish if I'm lucky.

I should be free for this one so I will throw my hat in. Probably get destroyed by lag but Damnit I'm gonna try!

Whoops, nevermind. Helped a friend who helps organize tournies by lending him my 360 copy, so I won't be able to participate until next week.
