Tournament Info
- 2 Teams: Alpha & Omega - comprised of 8 or 10 combatants on each team. 2 alternate combatants per team will be selected in the event a primary combatant cannot attend.
- I will fight the winner of the tourney but no matter what happens – win, lose or draw the winner will receive the prize. I just want to be able to say, when it’s all said and done, that I got to fight the strongest on that day.
Tournament Rules
- Single elimination (Duels are best 2 out of 3)
- No healing (see healing miracle rule below for the one exception to this rule)
- No Hornet Ring
- No Spears
- No WoG / TWoP (including Stone Sword special attack) / Pursuers
- No stacking (more than 1)of sorcery/miracle/pryo equipment buffs (Dusk Crown, Crown of the Dark Sun, Bellowing Dragoncrest Ring, Ring of the Sun's Firstborn and Ring of the Sun Princess)
- Healing miracles (Replenishment & Bountiful Sunlight) can be used one (1) time at the beginning of one (1) of the potential three (3) duels each set of combatants may have
- No white, dark magic or pyro SPAMMING (i.e. dark bead & dark orb. great combust, dark flame, combust)(I define spamming as more than one cast in quick succession)
- No swapping to Red Tear Stone Ring (RTSR) during the fight but the ring can be used as part of your build (e.g. you start the duel with the RTSR equipped and IT STAYS ON)
- No power buffs (SLB, DMB, CMW, GMW, MW) (Resins are allowed)
- No wake-up attacks after a riposte, BS, or other types of knock downs (ATTEMPTING A PARRY OR KICK IS ALLOWED)
- No chain or intentional roll BSs
- No BS fishing (Note: Punish BSs are allowed – for example if your opponent does a 1H L. Club attack and misses leaving their back completely open a punish BS is justified. SIMPLY PUT IF YOUR OPPONENT DOES AN ATTACK THAT CLEARLY LEAVES THEIR BACK EXPOSED THEN A PUNISH BS IS WARRANTED)
- No modded builds/ armor / weapons/ spell-swaps & glitches
- If a random invades we will try to determine their intent – if they interfere with the tourney they can go either the easy way (i.e. BC out or fight one of the combatants – a loss will not count against the combatant) or the hard way (i.e. attacked with extreme prejudice). Please try to keep the host (ME!!) alive
Participant Instructions
1. Please PM me on the forum or the BOX the type of build you are planning on using (i.e. DEX/STR Qual, STR/FAI, etc). This will help me keep the teams as balanced as possible.
2. Please PM me on the forum or the BOX your 'Skype name' (if you have one) so I can add you to the contact group for the tourney. We will also be using 'chatango' as another communication channel (see URL at the top).Use which ever one you want - I will be on both.
Team Information – Once I have all participant information I will fill the open slots with combatants with the objective of balance – what is meant by balance is not having too many of any one type of build (i.e. STR) on one team. I am trying to have a good mix of builds on each team. PLEASE NOTE TEAM ROSTER IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN THE EVENT A PRIMARY COMBATANT CANNOT PARTICIPATE.
Duels between combatants will be completely random – I will be using bracket generator which will randomly determine who will be fighting who during the 1st and 2nd rounds. After the 2nd round your wins will determine who you will be facing off against. Please remember you may eventually square off against a team mate - so the mindset to have is "I love u bro but I gotta kill u!!"
