Just for a heads-ups:
I PM'd a random forum member that knows nothing about the tourney, and they will be arranging the teams in a random order. The order that person selects will be the team's "seed". #1 seed will play #8, 2-7, 3-6, etc.
I won't announce match-ups until after drafts, but I just wanted let everyone know the format.
Just a random thought (it involves Magneto). One of the amalgams I batted around for the first tourney was some random brawler (Supes for example), Metamorpho, and Magneto. Have Metamorph turn into the hardest metal substance possible, then have Mags manipulate himself into thousands of shards (which wouldn't kill Metamorph).
Thousands of metal shards all with Class Superman punches under Magneto's control woulda been hella-fun to work with.

I've been wondering about this clause for a little while. Is there any way we can get a clarification on what exactly it bans? I mean are we going to be allowed to use creative and/or unorthodox strategies using the more unconventional aspects of our team's powersets or is this intended to be a more "standard" battle where only the most general powers are allowed to be used?
And would we need to run any "questionable" tactics through the judges before they are used in a fight?

That was just to cover my ass...people love trying to find loophole stuff.
Mostly it refers to the magic stuff we've banned. But it also has come to include a 'killability' clause which has kept guys like Absorbing Man and Iceman out of the tourney. We've also banned speedblitzing and time manip.
But no....if your pick has been allowed, pretty much any strategy with them should be acceptable, unless outlined in some section of the rules.

Sounds straight forward enough. Thanks for the clarification. 👆
Nothing I had in mind involves increasing speed to Flash like level, Strange level magic, or transferring consciousness.

Depends on the time my little bro has his pee wee tourny Saturday and I may still have to work.
Honestly, (and I can't promise anything) but we might need to slow down a touch after round 2 to figure out the drafting situation in full.
Still Sat. at the earliest, but I'll have to talk to Scoob...might not be until early next week.
