Hero's Legend Tournament
So I've been thinking of running a tournament for awhile now, and the grand opening of the Xallum City Collosseum has given me enough reason to get off my lazy a** and actually do it. Expect the tournament to be up sometime soon-ish, but don't start expecting anything to happen too quickly. There is a lot of preparation to be done in the way of rules, layout, and bio grading. Yes, I said bio grading. That means all of you entrants will have roughly evenly powered characters.
Due to all this preparation being required, I am going to be enlisting some help. If you would like to help, just send me a PM. I will have positions for bio grading, judging, and just general idea setup.
arrow Battle Locations
All battles will take place within the Xallum City Collosseum, I may open up new threads to have multiple battles going on at the same time, but only if we get so many entrants that it becomes nescessary. If I do this I will probably request a subforum to move it all into. For each battle, the colosseum will be arranged in one of a handfull of different ways. Layouts will span from a wide open dirt floor to a series of rafts floating in a water filled collosseum. Layouts will probably be assigned with random number generator.
arrow Teams
I may or may not allow teams, depending on the number of contestants entering. Teams will have one member fight at a time, and each member will be required to fight at least once. It is encouraged for teams to alternate players through matches, I may make this a rule later. Teams will probably be comprised of two to three people.
arrow Special Rounds
At certain points in the tournament there will be special rounds that may break the general rules of the tournament. For example, a fight requiring two fighters (or teams) to team up against another two fighters (or teams), with an audience vote on which member of the winning team will go on and which will be eliminated.
arrow Bios
Bios will be graded on a scale of 1-20 and will be taken into account when determining who wins in the event of a tie (which will be rare), and will probably have something to do with overall scoring at the end. Other than that, bio scores mean nothing more than being a reference point as to how well written your bio is. Characters who recieve high scores are likely to do better. Having an overpowered character will lower your score if we do not throw it out outright. Having a cliche character will lower the score, as will having a character who just makes no sense.
arrow Prizes
Yep, prizes, what everyone cares about. So here's the scoop. There will be no prize until I get enough entrants to make it worthwhile. Good part there is that there also will be no entrance fee. Once I get around ten people I will institute a 1k entrance fee for everyone, and winner will get the pot. As more people join, the prize pot will go up. When I get enough people I will split the prize pot into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. If the tournament is a smashing success I may just throw in something really cool for the winner. I have a few ancient katanas, donation letters, all sorts of fun stuff, but no promises on that front.
ALSO! If you would like to donate to the prize pot, all donations will go directly into the pot, regardless of the number of players.
