In this 2 v 2 battle each contestant is allowed 1 and only 1 High Meta character each. 1 for each person competing. Note this is not an amalgam. Each person controls 1 character.
Post Limit
Each member competing in this battle is granted a starting OP. After that we revert to 3 posts (as a team) each.
Meaning that both members of each team have to work on a combined post.
If for any of the posts made in this battle exceed the 10,000 character limit you are allowed to extend he post into a second one.
No CIS OR PIS
Since it's the people involved taking control of the character(s).
Previous Knowledge
So of course the opponents will know of who is drafting who since it has already been made public. Which means weaknesses , history etc all apply.
Ruling on Amping
Amping is going to be disallowed on all fronts.
Creation of Tech and/or Non Autonomous Constructs/Summons
This is going to be disallowed in prep, but allowed in mid battle
Interchanging Feats
Feats cannot be used if your character is similar to another. So Green Lanterns wont share feats and same with Nate Grey (X-Man) and Cable.
Prep
Prep Time is going to work like this, each team will have approximately 1 Minute to raise shields, cloak yourself or teleport.
Telepathy
High Meta limit.
Speed
Just below Light Speed.
Banned Powers
Reality Warping, Time Manipulation, Duplication (making copies of yourself), Power Copying, Memory Retention.
Things such as Space Manipulation, Matter Manipulation can be applicable if they are at a High Meta or lower level.
Functional Immortal characters are also banned. An example of such characters like this would be Mr Immortal or characters like Lobo (although obviously he isn't in this tier).
Standard Gear Rule
Each character used in the tournament enters each battle with what he is generally known for carrying.
Non standard gear (so gear your character rarely uses, or has only ever used once) is disallowed.
BFR
BFR is banned, self BFR is only good for phasing or by accidental BFR due to your opponents tactics.
Since I wasn't sent the combined post from LoB and DarkSaint a subclause triggers which gives me a free winners medal. Along with all the benefits that come with it. Of course DarkSaint and LoB could change that if they return within 24 Hours.
