Tournament Walkthrough

The USRC Tournament is an annual tournament in which teams of 10 players compete in Team vs. Team matches.
The matches are held in two stages starting with matches on the player's local server to pick out the best all Transcendent team and
all non-Transcendent team. These two teams then join the two teams from each server to then meet on Sakray in a tournament to put it all on the line.
The winner of the final stage will walk away with a ton of in-game prizes, 6 months of free service and a chance for a trip to
Korea to play in the Ragnarok World Championship (RWC).

All Teams must be registered by email with the GM Team on or before May 29th (PST), 2007.
That form is here. Team Submission form

The first 16 teams on each server to submit and be confirmed (via email) will be eligible to participate.
