Ok, as an effin' noob (relatively), I was at first excited and then disappointed by the recent WarpStone, initially when I saw it was one of the "four major FUMBBL Tourneys", and then when I realized I had no team that remotely qualified. (Ranked only, TR 176+)
(http://fumbbl.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1167)

For all those who share my ignorance, could someone give a brief answer to the (obvious) questions:

    o What are the other 3 Major Tourneys?

    o When do they show up (usually?)

    o (Most importantly), what are the qualifications for those?!

I'd like to at least have a chance to get a team prepared to enter, so I can get my butt kicked by the best, fair and square. Thanks!

(As a comment, it might be an idea to give more than one week's notice for such, so Coaches have time to build and qualify a team, if that's a consideration. Just a thought.)

Smeat, it's easy to get a ranked team up to 176+, so just do that Smile
Not that you're going to get through the qualifier with an unprepared team, but you could still apply then.

"unprepared"? What do you mean by that? That a 177 team will get flattened by a 277? Or that dedicated coaches prepare "several" teams to get the best rolls/etc, and only enter the elite?

(Already decided to give it a shot, thanks, putting a team together now.)

I think he means, if you aren't ready for what a Major is, you won't be able.
