Rank Up Championship
Runs from August 6-September 2, 2022

The Red Village: Rank Up Championship
The Rank-Up Championship (RUC) will run for four weeks across August and September, 2022. Each week will be focused on a specific Class (Outlaw, Heroic, Legendary, Immortal), and progression will occur through the Classes in order. The Championship is designed to reinvigorate the lower Classes, and to encourage Battlemasters to fight their less used Champions. After all, you never know who is hiding in the Outlaw Class....
At the start time of each of the four weeks of the RUC, any Champion within the specified Class at that time is eligible to participate in the Rank-Up for that week. Each week, the RUC is designed to focus on a new class.
- Week One: Outrageous Outlaws - Only Champions in Outlaw, or Champions who have never won a Tournament, qualify for Outrageous Outlaws
- Week Two: Hammered Heroics - Only Champions in Heroic qualify for this week
- Week Three: Loose Legendaries - Only Champions in Legendary qualify for this week
- Week Four: Immoral Immortals - Only Champions in Immortal qualify for this week
To participate, Battlemasters must simply enter their eligible Champion/s into Tournaments during the correct week, listed above. Champions can compete in either classic, On-Demand, or Double-Up Tournaments (8 player only) over the Qualifying Period. Tournaments can be either free or paid entry. 1v1 Tournaments do not count.
Battlemasters can enter as many Tournaments as they like during the Championship, with as many eligible Champions as they like. However, they can only enter ONE Champion per Tournament match. In other words, in a Classic 8 player Tournament, only ONE Champion can be owned by you for it to be eligible for the RUC.
If Champions move Class (up or down) during the RUC, this is okay (and in fact, is definitely expected) — a snapshot will be taken of ELIGIBLE Champions for each class at the start of the qualifying period. So, even if you begin the Outlaw week as an Outlaw and your Champion ends the qualifying period as an Immortal, any Tournaments completed in other Classes along the way still count towards the Outrageous Outlaws' qualifying week.
Points are awarded based on each Champion's finishing position in every single Tournament they compete in during the relevant week. The top 64 Champions with the most points at the end of each qualifying period will qualify for the Semifinals.
- The Tournament is designed to reward participation. Therefore there is no maximum number of Tournaments that will count towards your total points score, and points will continue to add up the more Tournaments you compete in.
- Champions must compete in a minimum number of TEN (10) Tournaments during the qualifying period to be eligible for the Semi Finals.

At the end of each qualifying period, the top 64 Champions by points earner will qualify for the Semi Finals. There will be EIGHT (8) x eight player Tournaments. Champions will be assigned to their respective Tournament randomly, and will be whitelisted into that specific Tournament only.
The Seeding for the Semi Finals will be posted two hours after the qualifying period ends and Battlemasters will have until TEN (10) minutes before their Tournament starts to enter their eligible Champion. If they fail to enter in time, a wildcard will be entered in their place.
Both 1st and 2nd place of each of the Semi Finals will be paid out as a winner, however only the winner of each Semi Final will qualify for the Grand Final.
The Grand Final Champions will be posted two hours after the completion of the last Semi Final, and Battlemasters will have until 10 minutes before the Grand Final begins to enter, or a wildcard will be entered in their place.
Battlemasters will have a reasonable amount of time to enter their Champion/s into the corresponding Semi and Grand Final Tournament.
Battlemasters will have the window between 11pm on the Wednesday (ET) and 6.50pm on the Thursday (ET), to enter their Champion into its Semi Final, and between 11pm each Thursday (ET) and 6.50pm Friday (ET) to enter their Champion into its Grand Final, before a Wildcard is entered in their Champion's place.
If an eligible Champion is not entered into a Semi Final or Grand Final within 10 minutes before it begins, the TRV team will enter a wildcard Champion in their place. A wildcard DOES NOT represent the Battlemaster's own Champion. The wildcard result will be dismissed and any Champions who finish below the wildcard will move up the rank in order of finish place and time to death within the match.
E.g. If a wildcard finishes in 2nd place in a Grand Final match, the Champion who lasted the longest of those that came 3rd and 4th would move to 2nd.
Seeding for the Semi Finals is completely random. No consideration will be given to requests for certain Champions to fight against each other or otherwise.
If Champions are tied on the leaderboard based on total points, then the following tie breaker rules apply, in order:
- 1.Most wins
- 2.Most 2nd places
- 3.Least number of Tournaments
- 4.Random selection by an RNG
The official leaderboard will be maintained by Scuer.eth at https://trvtools.com. The leaderboard will update live and will be the most accurate place to keep an eye on a Champion's progression.
The top 64 Champions at the end of the Qualifying Period will be eligible for the Semi Finals. Champions are given a random position in the Semi Finals. Each Battlemaster is eligible for entering their own Champions into the correct Semi Final. These will be gated by a whitelist, so only eligible Champions can be entered. If a Battlemaster fails to enter their Champion, or does not do so within 10 minutes of the Tournament starting, their Champion will be disqualified and a wildcard will be entered in their place.
Each week of the RUC will have a different total Prize Pool, however each week will have the same prize pool allocation to winners by percentage.
Each Semi Final will receive 7.5% of the total Prize Pool for each Tournament, divided among 1st and 2nd. 1st place will receive 70% of this allocation, and 2nd will receive 30% of the allocation.
The Grand Final will receive 40% of the total Prize Pool and will be divided among 1st and 2nd. 1st will receive 70% of the allocation, and 2nd will receive 30% of the allocation.
The total prize of the four weeks is $10,000 USD.
