6. MCRattle
7. KingVA
8. IAmTheNme
9. Doe Drop
10. Squammy
11. M11STRYKER
12. Audible-Rain

Also possibly 13. Straw Hat and 14. Proff, I don't know if these accounts are genuinely new though.

A few of the accounts I've listed above (i.e. Zezmer) had a previous account years ago for a brief spell and had a handful of battles, but were basically starting from scratch when they rejoined in 2019, so as per last year's policy (@ someone to confirm plz) they would be allowed to join and I doubt anyone would begrudge them that chance. Assuming just about everyone I've named shows, I reckon this is enough to warrant running the tournament, even if it were done through the forums.

I'm also not too concerned about vet sleeper accounts in this tourney, because if an account that has been consistently dismal suddenly elevates wildly that will be a giveaway and they'll get DQ'ed, and since I think this would be a reasonably strong field I doubt a sleeper account would be able to win it without giving themselves away.

Ok i see no problem in running a ROTY comp. Lemme do some checks on these accounts, i'll let you guys know.

You are, but how much would you want to participate in a tourney that looks mostly like a text tournament?

@Seul No room for Squammy here? Some of y'all cats been here way too long to be rookies. Surely give some actual new blood their chances else you're just creating that hegemony that established dudes can win everything, even Rookie titles.

This is more like it. Feel like a proper rookie tournament is only fair to encourage us newer guys to actually wanna improve, instead of just getting slapped down by vets wanting easy titles. I'm so down for the tournament you suggested.

Seuls original post is from 2018. That was the last ROTY. This thread was just revived instead of a new thread.

Also, that year was run to include people who had been around recently but didn’t get to participate because ROTY wasn’t offered when they joined. Fortunately, a true rookie still won

But, yeah. At a bare minimum I’d like to see like 8 rookies go at it, if we had those numbers. Which might be tough.
