But please read this before you go "OMGZ! I signerz up wit' Ma dawg and wes gonna ROLl!
...
Teams of 2.
Any two forum members are allowed.
Please realize the committment involved in this. Tourneys last a period of weeks, and if you're planning on being away you might reconsider.
Someone from the team must sign up for both of you.
Important: Do NOT say "I'm interested and who wants to team up with me?" Find your partner via other threads or PMs, and then post here.
Please make sure your partner is willing and aware that he's being signed up....don't want any ruffled feathers.
First 8 teams are good to go. After that, we'll take a couple alternates in case a team drops out.
KMC Team Tourney (Hosted by the KMC Green Lantern Corps)
Format – We’ll have 8 teams of 2 people. You will need a partner to participate
Drafting – Each team will then draft 3 characters from comics (same rules as vs. forum…they have to primarily comic characters). Each member of the team will only be allowed to debate for one character. The 3rd character, either one can debate for. Example, if DigiMark and leonidas draft Spider-Man, Hercules, and Doop, they’d have to decide which goes to which (like only allowing Digi to debate for Spidey and Leo for Herc). Either could debate for Doop. Thus, to have the full team contributing, both team members have to debate well. Anything that you say that debates for the person you’re not allowed to debate for will be edited out by me. You MUST post a valid link to your character when you draft them (i.e. not wikipedia).
Other stuff – Brackets will be determined randomly. Matches will be about a week long
Judging format – 2 or 4 judges from the Corps will count as 1 vote each, and then the popular vote (poll) will act as a tie-break. Judges will not be allowed to vote in the poll. In the event that a Corps member is in the tourney, guest judges will be brought in. Observers will be asked to simply vote in the poll and no spam the battle threads except to ask questions pertaining to the fight.
Battles – Each participant will be limited to 9 posts in the battle. That is all. If needed, we may go up or down from there. This is to ensure that
Character limits – This will be a “herald” level tourney. No amalgams though.
Speed – Flash is banned. As is anyone with Flash-like reflexes feats (Mr. Majestic, Surfer, etc.).
Power – Generally, “under Thanos” is the rule. We’ll define it more as needed. People that duplicate and/or copy powers aren’t allowed either.
Magic – Dr. Strange is banned. So is Zatanna, The Doctor, etc. Too much reality manipulation, and too many crazy loopholes. Sub-Thanos magic users are fine though.
If a character can’t breathe in space or something, battle locations will be created to accommodate them. Thus, we won’t make Hulk battle on Jupiter or something.
Everyone loves to find loopholes, so we have a “no freaking loopholes” rule in effect at all times. We can change the limits or ban people as we see fit to ensure fair battles, and will deal with every character on an individual basis. Please help me and the Corps out when determining who should and shouldn’t be acceptable….we don’t know everything.
1. Newjak/Blair
2. Leo/Khan (I'm counting Kahn's entry, not leo's nonsense in the first post.)
3. Batdude/DC
4. AW/Accel
5. GF/Physique
....
Pretty quick, though I think the last 3 will slow down.
....and if there's oodles of interest beyond 8 teams, I might consider making it larger. We have to be flexible with these tourneys and I don't want to leave lots of people out in the cold if there's interest. 12 would be doable, with randomly selected first-round byes.
