A relatively long wait between this event and the last. Let's get on with it!

Rules Here: Total Points cannot exceed 15. 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.

Your RW adds 1/4 of the character's points to your total based on tier list. If you used a BSB RW, you add 1/2 instead.

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, rounded to nearest .5), or the lowest synergy point to (lowest point 1 point, rounded to nearest .5). 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 9.0 points or less, but do not meet the requirements for Honorary Keeper.

The Galuf Addendum: Players utilizing Galuf (either as a native member or Roaming Warrior) 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.

The Pilot Steel/Shout Addendum: If used as an RW, use the highest points that would be given by each. For example, if Ramza was worth 4.0 and Cid (VII) was worth 3.0, Shout RW would add 1.0 points, and Pilot Steel would add 0.875 points instead, so if you used Pilot Steel, you would add 1.0 points.
