Yep, we're having another tournament. This time around it is going to be a bit different though. This tournament is entirely hand to hand.
Every person involved will be using a normal human. Statistically each character will be viewed as basically equal to the rest. The differences come in with each player's choice of armament and their own skill in fighting.
Basic rules:
1. Every person who wishes to be involved must register on the forums. This gives everyone else an easy place to contact tournament participants if needed.
2. Every fight must be posted in the fight logs section. No win will be counted until the log is posted.
3. To simplify things this time around, this is a single elimination tournament. There will be no bracket only rounds.
The round system works as follows. Everyone starts off in round one. You will find one other person from round one and fight them. The winner moves up to round two and finds someone else in round two to fight. This way no one is stuck waiting for an opponent that is never on. You may challenge someone if you wish and do the fight over the forums to make time constraints easier on each person.
5. Each match must have at least one neutral party present to help judge the match.
6. Each person is only allowed to have one character in the tournament. When you register be sure to let me know if you are on TK, CC or both so that people know where to look for you when they want a match.
Combat Rules:
1. Hand to hand and close quarters weapons only. No ranged weapons.
2. Armor is only simple armor. Technological armor, AI systems, energy shields, etc are not allowed.
3. If an opponent fails for 3 consecutive posts to make any real progress to release themselves from a hold, bar, lock, or similar situation, they will be counted as the loser.
4. All fights are considered lethal, but the method of finishing is up to whoever wins. Knockout, hold, death, or anything else that constitutes victory is just fine.
5. All weapons and gear the character is carrying must be declared at the beginning of the fight. You need only tell you opponent what they can visually see, all hidden gear and other tricks must be whispered to the neutral party.
6. You may pick new gear each fight. To prevent people from changing their gear because their opponent posted first, each person must whisper a neutral party with a full list of their gear before revealing it to their opponent.
I will add more rules as I think of them. Any suggestions are perfectly welcome.
There will be a1v1 category and a 2 man team category. If you want to be in the two man then pick a partner.
Beside overall victor, there will be other prizes awarded such as:
Fastest Victory
Most entertaining fight
most creative fighter
and any other suggestions people have.
I think that covers most of it. I'll answer any questions that come up.
The tournament starts the 1st of october unless something comes up.
