Tour de RhyDin 2010 Official Rules: Teams

[DUEL Random]

TEAMS

There is a minimum requirement of four people per team. Teams must also rank their members in each discipline in the following manner: 1 Champion, 2 Dans, and the rest Kyus. A member may not be Champion in more than one discipline at any given time. Teams may re-rank their members the day after any stage, by editing their team's post in the team thread.

Teams gain Silver Nobles for each win a member gets over a member of an opposing team during any stage (a knockout in a Brawl stage counts as a win), in the following amounts:

Champion vs. Champion: 5 Nobles
Champion vs. Dan: 4 Nobles
Dan vs. Dan: 3 Nobles
Dan vs. Kyu: 2 Nobles
Kyu vs. Kyu: 1 Noble

If a Kyu defeats a Champion, their team gets 6 Nobles, but if a Champion defeats a Kyu, their team gets only 1 Noble.

Furthermore, a team gains Silver Nobles equal to the total of their members' Tour Points gained in each stage.

At the end of each stage, the members of the team who earned the most Silver Nobles during that stage gain 1 Tour Point each.

Duelists are not required to be a member of a team to participate in the Tour, but "free agents" cannot participate in the team competition (and thus cannot receive the 1 bonus TP for being a member of the top-ranked team).
