Illadelph's Team Tournament Discussion Thread

Here's the particulars for my upcoming tournament:

It will be a team tournament, each team will consist of 2-3 posters.

Each team will be allowed to draft 4 characters (Any Genre), but in each battle only a combination of 3 characters will be allowed.

After each victory the winning team will be allowed to add a member of the defeated team to their roster for the subsequent rounds, however, you're still limited to 3 characters per battle.

In the interest of instituting a strategic element, the 3 characters that each team will be using in the battle will not be known until the opening comments are posted in the battle. You'll know your opponents roster, but you will not know which 3 members of the team you are facing until go time.

This will be a Spider-Man/Low Meta Tier Tournament.

Here we will discuss the rules, as well as which characters will not be allowed due to loophole abilities.

I'm looking to have this thing started by around Thanksgiving (11/22). Participants and Judges please sign up.

WOO HOO! durznuts I am so in.

I'm in.

I love to judge.

Judge judge judge.

I wanna be a judge.

I'm definitely joining this one.

I would also like to judge.

Let me see if I can find some partners and I'd gladly like to join up. This time I should be much more involved than last due to the freedom in my schedule this time.

Again sorry about the last one.

I've got some people in mind I'd love to have as teammates but if your interested in me joining one with you I'd be honored by the invite so please pm me. 🙂

Soljer, Jason, and Validus, consider yourselves judges.

Ok, I've got a character that I want to confirm with you guys.

Caerula Sanguis: she's a vampire from the manga Battle Angel Alita: The last order. She has enhanced reflexes, over 800 years of martial arts expertise that based on her feats would put her skill level at higher than Shiva's, and her trump card is that she has eyes that allow her to see the neural pulses of a creature, allowing her to react to their movements before they move. I can post some scans later if you want them.

Scans would help. Has this character been discussed in the tiering thread yet? Scans will be at a premium for the more obscure characters. You're going to have to provide a lot of evidence.

Also, should we institute a post quota per team member? Like 6-8 posts each plus the initial write up?

No, he said that you won't know which 3 characters will be fielded out of the total 4 person team you will have. But you will know their roster.

That's correct. The draft will be open so everyone will know who's on all participants rosters, but you won't know which combination you are facing until the battle begins so versatility will be at a premium.

This actually sounds interesting, but don't know if I would have the time 🙁

This seems like a good idea. Will there be a character list to choose from or just the tier ?

Just the tier. As is the usual draft picks will be scrutinized upon being made. If you have a character in mind that is possibly beyond Spider-Man or borderline it's best to bring it up here in the discussion thread prior to the drafts.
