 | Fi Thorne Bye bye Prune, I will miss you! ;-) |
 | Jon Pinyan Clarifying a possible copy-and-paste issue: rule 3 says "you can play another game against prune", would that be against nude this year? |
| Show all comments | |
 | Adam Latchford Yep yep copy paste error. Prune is dead long live nude |

| Adam Latchford 10 days to go until sign ups close and also wildcards! Please see aptomail and get back to me if you want some! (I will aptomail everybody who hasn't chosen separately on 28th April but doing it ahead of time will help me muchly) |
| Adam Latchford hello all, i've sent aptomails to everyone who has yet to select wildcards. Please get back to me asap but latest as stated in the aptomail at a reasonable hour on the 30th april. Anybody else wishing to sign up, sign ups still open :) Remember - 5 days allowed per game this year so shouldn't be as rushed! |
| Adam Latchford at an open mic night tonight so will load tomorrows games whenever i'm back (assuming roughly 10pm) so whenever that is is the cut off point for wildcards. 13 people left to select. You can also have until roughly then to sign up! |
Tourney round: Reach your rating 2026: Sign ups page
Notes from the organizer: Hello! Welcome back to Reach Your Rating! Some slight tweaks - read below to understand them!
Tournament ran last year and was won by Fiona Thorne (again) - see the bottom of this description for the leaderboard and the last tournament links.
How will it work?
You will play a series of games every 2 days against NUDE during May, with your score in each game getting you one step closer to the finish line - your actual rating. Ergo the playing field is levelled against the monsters!
What has changed this year?
1) Instead of prune we are using Nude - which will make finishing slightly more difficult and take more thinking and some luck about it!
2) You have the option to wildcard FOUR rounds. For these you can choose to play against Rex instead of against Nude for 2.5x your score.
3) Repeat rounds. In some rounds - there will be a score target for you. If you hit this target, you can play another game against prune and this score will also count. This will only be repeated once, except during round 16.
4) This is reach your rating. If you surpass your rating, that round WILL NOT COUNT. You will not be allowed to do any multipliers of replaying a round if this is the case.
You will have 5 DAYS TO PLAY EACH GAME. No more. A game will load every 2 days.
Full list is below. Around mid April - I will post a comment with what all the rounds will be (not the order) and you can all then choose your wildcards if you so wish.
