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
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. |
