Alliance
My Sig tourney will be beginning very shortly. This will be a bracket style tournement. If you plan to enter, please make it known in this thread. Providing enought interest...We'll start come October.

This tournement will require you to make one entry per week until you lose a match. If you do not plan to be able to meet thesee requirements, please, do not enter for the sake of members who want to compete.

Entries may require you to extend beyond the standard requirements for a sig (using stock images, larger sizes, etc). Standard restricitons (animation/transparency/etc.) will never be a requirement.

I may also be interested in help from judges.

Hope to see you in the tourney.

Alliance
By "entry thread"...I mean Sign-Up.

Maybe Lana can change that for me love

Lana
Edited, genius stick out tongue

Alliance
Meh.

Thanks smile

Broken Darkness
I'd definitely be interested in this, sounds fun.

BakaXero
can i be a dummy entrant?

Alliance
As long as you're serious about competing, yes.

And here i thought i could be the lure to get competitors in no expression

Gannon
I may either enter or be a possible judge.

I haven't made a sig in forever so i may just be a judge.

...which was my first thought too. I's all like "I'll judge", then Alliance was all "Nah, but thanks". I think a lot of us are in the same boat.

So I'm definitely undecided, and I'll act like a wimp until I enter at the last moment. Maybe.

Unless I don't, of course.

awesome

I'd bite it.

Thorrin
I'll enter. tip-hat

Alliance
Here's my comments on judging. There are many qualified judges on this board. I'd rather have people enter the competition to make it as large as possible.

I will judge most rounds by myself. The last rounds will be judged by either three or five judges, myself included, and likely the runner-ups.

Thats a temporary plan.

Vinny Valentine
I'm interested in judging if possible, instead of competing this tournament around.

Alliance
Ok. I'm too tired to make coherent statements.

I'm not recruiting any permenant judges.

Lana
Yay incoherency.

I might enter. I don't know. I haven't actually been making sigs lately so I'm way out of practice. Unless I did stock ones, in which I'd wipe the floor with all of you stick out tongue

I'm just still reminded of me against Barker in the first tournament we did...

Barker
Lol, be all starting the thread with a little more than a week to spare.

Thorrin
Say that is lol worthy. LOL

Alliance
Well then , for all you out of practice folks, you'll be competing against other out of practice folks and it'll be a great way to get back into the competition.

Alliance
Excellent Tatoo and Lana big grin

Gannon
I'll do it. I need to get back into gfx.

Lana and Ken generally equal a critical mass for these things. Interest shouldn't be hard to generate now.

I'm still undecided btw. And are you making a limit to the entrants Alliance?

Let me help ya! happy *kicks Digi into the Tourney* sfx:"Boot!" THIS IS SPARTA!!!!

There is no limit for the # of contestants who may enter.

Current List:

1 Broken Darkness
2 Thorrin
3 SpartanII

5 Lana
6 Barker
7 Gannon
8 b|anka

Barker
What if a MILLION people enter!?@?@!!

Thorrin
Thats a lot of judging.

Barker
~haermmione~

Gannon
Man i hope everyone participating makes sigs and on time.

Wasn't it last tourney that a bunch of people didn't show?

Alliance
Yes it was.

I have designed a system to make the tournemant managable, no matter how many initial entrants we have.

Also, if someone drops out, I'll re-open the spot to a deserving competitor. First, the last person the dropout defeated will be offered the spot (as if they had actually lost thier previous duel). If they don't want to continue, someone who I deem to be the "best" competitor to be defeated at that point.

Dropouts, however, will be publically humiliated and flogged. I've made the requirements very clear and every competition wil be one week in length.

i wish to be seeded if we're on uneven numbers shifty

Röland
I hope I face off against Barker, it guarantees me a win since he'll be a no show. haermm

DigiMark007
I don't think it's going to be head-to-head guys....which will avoid no-shows. I think it's more: "Everyone make a signature, and {x} out of 13 will make it to round 2". No-shows will simply be weeded out through this process.

Skeets
Joins awesome

Change my name to Mr.Biscuits...stoned

Cmon guys step it up. awesome

AT LEAST! two more smile

i can try i guess, i forgot what i posted here earlier
and dont feal like checking

something tells me im going out first round :/

Alliance

Broken Darkness
Hate to say this Alliance, but I think I'm going to have to back out on this one. No I'm not chickening out.

But my husband and I are moving, and I can't afford the net there, at least at first. So I'll be without it for a time, I don't know how long. So I think it's best if I notify you now, instead of later, that I probably won't be able to do this.

Barker

Alliance
Ok. Poll time.

1. We can start the tourney Sunday and 6 of you will be eliminated in the first round to get the the elite 8 (bracketed combat from there).

2. We can wait until we have 16 enrollees.

Röland
I'd like to see if we could get 16.

TOH
1

Gannon
I say we start sunday.

Get onto it then stick out tongue

Alliance, suggestion: Add the final list of entrants in the Round 1 title post.
Just so people can easily see who to expect entries from.

and it might stop noob idiots who don't pay attention from adding entries when they haven't signed up smile

I would, but I'm not a mod.

As far as other people joining, I'm not opposed to it. Worst case scenario is that we have a full tournament. However, I assure everyone that those who signed up will make it in before any noob who walks in and randomly submits an entry.

Noob FTW stick out tongue

Another option:

instead of doing a straight bracket from 8>4>2>1, we could do three conferences 12>6>3>three way for the win.

Options?

Gannon
Meaning have a series of rounds including all contestants, narrowing it down as we go?
