Tournament Discussion Thread

So I just had an idea for a tournament wanted to throw the idea out there.

It will be a KMC Turf War Tournament

The idea is simple we will break a fictional city into territories.

There will be quite a few. Each person gets a territory, each territory gets resources that the person can spend to upgrade or buy new things.

The way you win or lose is by attacking other people's territory and taking them over. A person is out of the tournament when they have lost all of their territory. The last man standing wins.

Who thinks this would be fun?

What about joint attacks, and alliances?

Those type of things could happen. I would try and put rules in place to help prevent that from becoming to OP though.

Like the main idea right now is the tournament will be a Spider-Man level, each contestant gets a main boss that is an amalgam of three Spider-man level characters, and you can also buy henchmen to help keep your area safer.

Photo/Phermo Kinetic Battle
Hey i had an idea for a Tourney Not sure if it has been done before.
it is basically all the Photo and some Thermo kinetic people that i can think of that are also mutants.

My list for Characters involved are
Gambit
Cyclops
Havok
Bishop
Sunspot
Dagger
Dazzler
I wasny sure whether to add Vulcan as i wasnt sure of the others power levels compared to his.

i was thing of adding Kyle Rayner to the listings as well though not sure on that

if any off you have got any ideas add them to the thread or pm me

this is my brothers tijay idea

Exoskeleton vs
Husk
Iceman
Emma Frost
Classic Colossus
Elixir
Armor (hisako)
if anyone has any ideas of more characters pm him or add to thread

this is a brawl to knock out
last one standing
all are in their standard shield and armour type exoskeletal things

jitay, that's not nearly a comprehensive enough idea to be realistic. I'd advise you to take a look at past tournies to see how they were formatted and run:

...there's a lot there that will catch you up, including past matches, rules and tendencies, and a guide to hosting tournaments.

Was just reading the tourney respect thread, and saw it didn't have a full tourney since 2010. Has it really been that long since we had a tourney?!

That sounds wrong to me, I feel like we had to have some tournies that got completed since that time.

If there has been, let me know and I'll put it together for inclusion in the thread.

I'm not finding anything that's just weird. It used to feel like we completed two tournies a year. I did find a gem from the past though the Fallen Heroes thread 😛

HI All,

I've played and run many tourneys on other sites. Thought I throw up a few of my old ones and see what anyone thought over how they'd play out on this site.

Fantastic Four Tourney

Rules

You can build a team of Four. That consists of the following power sets.

1. One brick- MUST BE BELOW class 100 or above. . This category is limited to strength, durability and physical attributes only (endurance, agility, speed)only. If a character you choose has other non physical powers s/he will not have them for the battle

2. One energy projector. This character will be able to absorb or emit an energy type output limit will be Vulcan . Again if a character chosen has abilities other than energy projection/control they will not have them for the tournament

3. One force type power- can be creating controlling a force, TP, force fields or energy based constructs ( these constructs will be limited to a force of energy and will not be able to do anything but be a physical force, barrier or restraint ). Basically these characters can project a force as blast or protection or entrapment, they can manipulate it's shape but anything their force creates cannot act on it's own, it has to be controlled by them, and fall under the guidelines below of what's not allowed..

4 Wildcard power. This power is where you could throw a spanner in the works. In this category you can have any type of power as long as it doesn't break the below rules.

Things not allowed

Reality warping
Time manipulation
dimensional manipulation
power absorption/copying or negating (I use that enough in other threads - it's OUT)
Offensive Telepathy (you can have TP to read minds or communicate/disseminate information to your team but Mind rape is out)
No one skyfather level or above
No magic above Dr Druid, at the powered up by the Celtic Druid Gods level.
NO power cosmic
No Auto win devices or powers ( Midnighter's battle Computer, Mother Box, IG, ION, HOG, HOTU, etc)

I reserve the right to add other rules as may be deemed needed

Defenders/Shadowpact Tourney
Your need to pick a team that can deal with mystical threats.

All characters to have mystical power base but Only one can actually be a spell caster. Ideally one would be a powerhouse, the one a utility and one a miscellaneous (though that is completely up to you)

Each team needs four members

Banned characters - Classic Strange, Classic Fate, Shuma-Gorath, Cththon, or any Omnipotent beings (even if only so in their own dimension). Other versions of Strange and Fate acceptable. No reality warpers. Anyone trying to sneak one through will have their character limited mid tourney to the levels of Dr Druid.

I reserve the right to DQ any character if I see fit for what ever reasons that come up during team building

All powers that are magical in nature or have a connection to magic are open.

Thoughts ??? would these work here??

I filled in a couple friends of mine on tourneys. They were surprisingly interested in all of it. Not sure if they'll make an account, but I gave them the link to KMC and a couple of my old tourney matches. They can't really add to the discussion, but it's someone new to be able to talk to about this stuff. Good times.

Also, my new gf overheard me talking about them. She was like "I thought it was fantasy football at first. But no. It's fantasy super heroes," and rolled her eyes. She doesn't mind though. Thank goodness for small things like that.

Hey guys, how you would feel about a tournament where the objective isn't to beat up the opponent?

I've been thinking about doing something like a football (soccer) tournament and people would essentially debate why their team of heroes/villains would outperform the other team and so on. It's just an example, but do you think there's a chance something like that would take off?

I wouldn't enter it, but it might be decent. One tourney at a time though, I think.

A tourney idea was brought up to assemble a team and have them go through a series of comic-book style challenges (ie, break into the Triskellion or assassinate a particular character).

Contenders would all submit their write-ups for how their team would accomplish it, and would have them be evaluated independently.

I think that would be awesome.

I think, but don't know, that I want to run a tourney.

Something simple and straight forward. Maybe with a different feel than a standard tourney.

Thoughts?

My dream tournament at this point is Trans. Maybe two to a team. No prep except shields, but everything is allowed. Speed force, offensive matter manip., time travel, duplication, tech creation, power copying, dimensional portals, BFR. Anything. Prep tourneys bore me after we bludgeoned them to death, but I think that we could eliminate a lot of the griping about people finding loopholes and such by removing all restrictions. And Odin is a pretty hard stop, so it would be hard to get any characters in over the limit.

Mind you, I likely wouldn't enter. But that would be the most fun to watch.
