5/15 - TOURNAMENT HAS BEGUN!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
I have been in conference with Teferi. (By conference what I really mean is: I texted him last night and the fucker waited until 6 in the damn morning to get back to me, cause y'know, normal people are totally awake at that God forsaken hour). <3 you Matt.
ANYWAY
We've decided the time is ripe and the board is ready for its first annual Champions of Chaos tournament. Please read the following rules before signing up.
- You may only sign up with one character. This is to allow as many writers as possible to participate, while also preventing writers from having to fight two of their characters against one another.
- You may use all weapons or combat resources typically available to your character in a battle. (I.E. Lightsabers, blasters, vibroblades, the Force, sorcery, etc).
- The tournament is canon. Any events, interactions, and results should be written into your character's history and biography.
- Character death is possible. Sign up at your own risk.
HOW IT WORKS:
An even number of contestants will sign up and be placed randomly against one another in a series of rounds, with the winners progressing on. Though one on one duels will be the most common, players may also be split into pairs or groups, where they will have to work together in order to progress. Each round will cover a span of a week, with five days for posting and two for judging. (Please note: You can continue RP'ing after the five days are over, if you'd like, but posts made after the official end of the round will not be taken into consideration for judging).
JUDGING:
After the completion of each round, each duel will be scored by a predetermined panel of judges in order to determine a winner. These decisions, once made, are final; only a majority vote by the official SWRP: Chaos Roleplay Judges can overturn a decision. This means that the judges chosen for this event do not necessarily have to be RP Judges for the board, and that I will need volunteers. Anyone volunteering to judge forfeits their ability to compete. (Chaos RP Judges are welcome to volunteer as judges for this, but will not be required. I will NOT be judging, only coordinating). Judges will score their votes on the following items, listed in order of importance:
- Writing - This tournament is first and foremost about writing. Actions written plausibly, reasonably, true to character, and legibly/understably will be ranked higher, while godmodding, power gaming, half-assery, and unrealistic actions will result in a docked score. Writing fairly and well is the best method to win.
- Battle - Since each thread is a battle, then the IC actions must be taken into consideration. Obviously, the idea is to win. Use whatever means reasonable, necessary, and at your character's disposal to do so.
- Activity - A higher activity level won't necessarily mean you'll win, but it will be smiled upon and make you look better in the judges' eyes.
- Good OOC sportsmanship - Don't be a queen in the OOC thread. If your opponent does something you feel is unfair, respond ICly and trust the judges to be aware of it. Ultimately, if you feel the need to speak up, send me a PM.
- Bribery - I take it in the forms of sexual favors and cookies.

OFFICIAL SIGN UPS.Only three judging spots open. Those interested in judging, please be aware that the tournament will take a while and thus you will need to be available for the duration of the tournament. Please do not apply if you know you will not be able to stick around. Contestant slots currently open to 14, but will be dependant on demand. If the list is full and others wish to participate, continue to add to the list. Ultimately, only an even number of contestants will be accepted. First come, first served. Please copy/paste the list into a post and add your own name to the list. Any questions or comments can be posted to this thread, or sent to me in PM. This thread will act as the OOC thread for the duration of the tournament.
Round 1 tentatively begins May 15th. Updates will be edited into this post.
