Duel Tournament Sign ups

[Zhen Luo]

To kick this site off, I figured we could hold a dueling tournament. Right now there is a limit of 8 people, but if we get an overwhelming response, I will raise the number. As things stand now, the first 8 will be guaranteed a spot in the tournament. I will have a list of prizes up soon.

I personally will not be participating in the tournament so I am able to concentrate more on running it. If you wish to help me mod the duels, pm me, as I will want other opinions.

Word has it that the Emperor will be dueling...

Note: Whatever happens in the tournament does not affect the normal rp. Your characters can boast about winning here, but any injuries or deaths will not be carried over. Also, this is the only time that your character can be in two places at once.

The following scroll has been pinned up in the city of Luo Yang.

Yeah, I'll randomly put people into brackets. I doubt we'll get 16 though.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've decided that instead of doing brackets for the tournament, I am going to set it up so that everyone duels 4 different people, and the best record will win. If there happens to be a tie for any places above 4th, we will have another round. This way seems a bit more fair to me instead of single elimination. Brackets work when people, or teams, are seeded. Since we have no way of doing that fairly, randomly dueling 4 different people should work out better. This also means that more people can sign up if they would like, but I need an even number. If you are the last person to sign up, and you give us an odd number, you may not be able to participate if I am unable to find another. I cannot give out any byes because we will determine the winner by win counts.

Please note, as with most duels, there will be a time limit. The max amount a time a person has to post before the duel is forefited will be 24 hours. The two oponents can settle on a time shorter than that if they deem 24 hours too long. That will be determined before the duel starts, and I must be notified. If you cannot adhere to the 24 hour time limit, please do not sign up, because 1 sided duels are no fun for anyone.

Duel signups will end at midnight tonight GMT, and 7pm EST. I want to have everything set up so we can start tomorrow.

[Gao Lan]

Oh, I can do i so long as my first duel is not till Monday, I'm away for a while visiting a friend in Glouscster...

[Gao Lan]

heres a thought....

why not just throw everyone into a ffa, last man standing, then it dont matter if the numbers are even or not.
