RANKING THE DTC40K STARS! PART 2
The Dutch Masters, the most competitive 40K tournament in the netherlands, is just around so that means we need to prepare ourselves for the DTC40K invitationals as well! On the day before of the event the tournament winners of this season will meet each other in the most cutthroat RTT of the year, the winner will be crowned Champion of the DTC40K!
To spice up this slugfest we will do first round pairings based on a community voted ranking. Everyone gets to vote the players in the ranking order they feel is appropriate, once all data has been processed we have a community ranking that will be used for pairings. The number 1 ranked player, will be paired up into number 18, 2 in to 17 and soforth. Everyone gets only 1 vote so make it count! To the competing players in the Invitationals, time to get your clubmates involved! We have a group 17/18 players so to give them all a fair chance in the ranking we will be doing short introductions on all the players. For today we have Jochem Warmenhoven, Ruud Steenbakkers, Rob Goossens and Thomas Verkooijen! Ready to vote? go smash the vote button right below here!
