Hey Sorry, i been on sabbatical for a week or so and without a comp.

I am guessing there is a total skill requirement, and there is a 380+ rating requirement. Also, i believe that there is a point system. Say you get 1 pt for bloodgames wins, etc. and then its a sliding curve. I've noticed some early promotions a good bit before 1000 fights, so i think that is the standard 382k and 1k modified by the points system/number of skills/trains. there may also be some styles that are promoted earlier then others. But, none of my promotions have been before 382k rating, so I think that is a fixed number.

Not sure if any of this helps, as most of it is opinion rather then fact.

See yah on the Sands
