Tournament of Champions

Tournament Rules

Entrance requirements

1. One god per player.
2. All guilds are welcome!
3. All levels are welcome, however, given the match rules (below), it is highly recommended that you be at least level 40 or are highly experienced (and awesome!) in the arena.

Match rules

This is a no-holds-barred tournament. This means:

1. No limits on god power or number of charges used.
2. Use of miracles is allowed, but not encouraged.
3. Choice of battleground is up to the competitors. You may chose "Challenge a friend" or attempt a match by sending to the arena.
4. Each round must be completed within 7 days or both players may be eliminated. This means: A) If players are able to send friend invites and one fails to respond within the 7 days, the non-responsive player will be eliminated. B) If neither player can come up with a friend invite, and players are unable to meet in the arena due to level differences, both players will be eliminated.
5. Ties will be decided by The Great Random. The "nominal winner" will be THE winner, so play to win, or risk going home.
6. "No-holds-barred" does not mean "say/do whatever you want." Please respect the PG-13 level of this game and keep that in mind before sending voice commands.
7. No whining! There's no crying in baseball or in this tournament.
8. Have Fun!

Reporting Match Results

Once a battle is complete, send the winning information to either Lady Darkness or Dogess via private message in GV, on Palringo, or via email: HMLadyD@gmail.com and/or DogessStA@gmail.com. You only need to send the final GV post, however we encourage you to save a screenshot and/or the link to each battle.

Thank you!

We'd like to thank our sponsors who will be providing the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes! They'd like to remain anonymous, however, so we'll just tell you which guilds to be a tad nicer to for a week or so. To the generous members of Blue Feather, Harvest Moon, and Knights who say Ni - thanks for funding our fun!

We'd also like to take a moment to thank the support staff. This tournament would not be possible without their tireless efforts at imagining and creating this storm of whoop-tush, recruiting gladiators, information dissemination, writing announcements, inventing/debating/ignoring/solidifying rules, forum posting, cheerleading, and all around... well... support. These folks don't get paid, kiddos. They do it all out of the kindness of their hearts (that or a sincere desire to watch the competing gladiators waste their time and money entertaining the masses). That said, if you enjoy this tournament, take a sec to let 'em know! Send them a few charges to express your gratitude! Their time spent working on this has been time away from their beloved heroes and heroines, and many will require alignment adjustments or help with their temples by the time this is all over. And they did it all for you, the viewing public. So pay up!

In alphabetical order (so as to not show preference even though some are clearly more important than the others): Bellatrixie The Strange, Belteshazzar, The Big Guy Upstairs, b0x, Budapesties, Ceccetticat, Deprivus, Dogess, Hairplug4men, Lady Darkness, Little Ghost, Mistress of Science, Mortalin, Nenalata, SBFH, Tchulmaak, and Zeerty. Thanks to you, the Godville community got a nice show and an example of what can be accomplished when we put our minds together. Thanks for making this all possible!
