Ok so here's what I was thinking...
We should have a running string of Battlezone matches to highlight those brickish characters that are so often ignored in regular tourney's. No amalgaming or fancy tactics, just two people beating the Hell out of each other in UFC(and sometimes WWE ) fashion. We could set it up kinds like The UFWF in Marvel...(Link to UCWF info)

...with weight classes decided by how much the character can lift and each class can have a reigning "champion" that can be challenged at later dates.
I have some it worked out, but I'm looking for input and ideas from anyone who likes the sound of it. I'd prefer to have the whole thing completely mapped out before it gets going because my time on the computer is often limited and I don't have any plans on it ever ending. The more self running the whole deal is, the better. I can keep up with win/loss records, approving/assigning characters, and that kind of thing just fine, and I can step in for executive decisions when absolutely necessary, but I don't want to have lord over each individual match.
Anyway here's what I've cooked up so far...
Rules of KMC UFC.
1. All wrestler's must possess superhuman levels of strength and durability, or other powers(like tactile telekinesis) which give the appearance of superhuman strength durability.
2. Only one debater is allowed to rep a character in any kind of official capacity. You can "retire" your character anytime and select a new wrestler if your tired of your guy, but he becomes up for grabs as soon as you announce the switch(and no calling "dibbs" by anyone) so only switch if you're REALLY sure about it. If you happen to hold one of the UCWF "Titles" when you make the switch, you'll have to surrender it to the powers that be(namely me) upon taking up your new character. I'll decide how the new champion will be crowned, but will likely involve a simple match between top contenders or mini-tourney of sorts(depending on how much time I have available.
3. Everyone fights "in character"(this point can't be stressed enough).
Rules of the ring.
1. The only powers of a physical nature are allowed during matches.*
2. No weapons allowed.**
3. No one is allowed to move/react at faster than sound speeds. There are people in the audience and the sonic booms will drive away future crowds .
4. Fights can end via death, KO, 10 count pin, submission, and disqualification(for those of you who like to get sneaky with your picks).
5. All matches last a total of 7 days total, starting at the time of the opening post. There will be 5 days(120 hours EXACTLY) for the participants to debate, then another two days(48 hours) for people to vote on a winner. People who make arguments after the period for debating will be disqualified and votes after the voting period will be ignored.
*Exceptions can be made in regards to powers without a visible effect(like mind reading or probability alteration). These exceptions will be handled on a case by case basis at the time the character is chosen.
**Exceptions can be made in regards to "natural weapons"(like Wolverine's claws or Omega Red's tentacles) possessed by the character. These exceptions will be handled on a case by case basis at the time the character's chosen. Armor is allowed, but its offensive capabilities are limited just as powers/weapons are.
So... let me know what you think and offer any suggestions you may have.
