Welcome everybody to the Announcement thread of RUPL XIII! The incredible Kableye and myself will post here all sorts of important information about the tournament such as the manager selection, the retains and selfbuys, the draft... Below you will find a reminder for the couple of rules the managers need to follow before the draft!

The managers will need to draft a minimum of 14 players: 10 + 4 subs.
To do so, they will get 140k to spend during the draft.

The slots are the following:
SV RU x4
SS RU
SM RU
ORAS RU
BW RU
ADV RU
Bo3 RU (SV, SS and SM)
Each team will be able to perform ONE selbuy maximum and either one or two retains (or none). This means that managers can decide at most to retain two players (meaning no selfbuys) OR retain one player and selfbuy once. Note that players who managed last year cannot be retained.

Selfbuys
Formula used to get the price of each managers:
Manager price = (P + 3) + 0.75 * # of wins last RUPL - 1 * # of loses last RUPL

P is the price of said player in their last RUPL capped at 17.
If they never played RUPL or if their calculated price is lower than 10, it defaults to 10.
The result is rounded up.

Retains
Retains will be last year’s price + 3 or 10, whichever is higher.

The prices are in thousands.

I wish you all a truly magnificent RUPL season!
