Everything updated.

I'm expecting a lot of Reno this round. I apologize for usually posting these so late. I've tried to wait until I had time to update flairs & points as well, but I will make an effort to post the megathreads a day after the U's drop, regardless of whether or not I can update stuff yet. Also, I will be adding characters that are going to drop in the following event of a current TC thread (I.E., Onion Knight is added now), so you guys know in advance where they stand.

Notice: Change to Galuf Addendum. I apologize towards anybody who likes the character or utilizes him in other ways, but there's really no fairer way to stop people from earning the top flairs with the same strategy every TC.

Rules Here: Total Points cannot exceed 12. Mastery is required. A synergy team (3-5 members, all with character synergy) gets (-2) points for their run (I.E., a 9 point synergy team only counts as 7). A synergy duo gets (-1) points, and a synergy solo gets (-0.5) points.

First person to achieve the lowest score for the tier challenge gets a special flair.

Honorary Keeper flair will be given to participants who achieved the lowest point to (lowest point 2 points), or the lowest synergy point to (lowest point 1 point). If the lowest points happen to be a synergy team, the flair goes to lowest ~ lowest 2.

TC Veteran flair will be given to participants who achieve 7.75 points or less, but do not meet the requirements for Honorary Keeper.

The Galuf Addendum: Players utilizing Galuf will be registered for a minimum of 6.0 points. This means even if your run totals 3.5, it'll be registered as 6.0. If it totals more, then it'll be registered as whatever you ran. This rule was created due to Galuf being able to solo almost any boss in the game.
