Remember that section at the bottom of the official document I said to not mind?  Well, you can mind it now.  I randomly generated the pairs, though shifted some around to make sure that no teammates were against one another.

Here's how this is going to work:

Each fight will be one post long.

If you're savvy, you've just realized that this will, fittingly enough, be a collaboration challenge.  You will be working with your opponent player to create a nice battle sequence via PMs, google doc, titanpad, what have you.  Now, I know what you're thinking: collaborations?  Yeah, I've done those, they're great, but how exactly will it work for a fight?  Well, there's a system called Rock Hard Gladiators that I used to be a part of in which the two competing authors each wrote their separate version of the entire fight, which was voted upon by others and the most highly-voted one became canon.

But we're not doing that.

I will be looking at everyone's characters over the course of the next day or so as you all post normally, and I will assign each and every pair a result of their battle.  That's right, I'm deciding the end.  But it's not necessarily just the end product, right?  It is the journey.  If I say 'Weiss beats Cardin', there are still endless possibilities.  She could have swept the floor with him, employed her abilities to overpower him or simply her wits to outmatch him, or she could have barely beat him after an exhausting fight.  Or she could have been on the verge of losing, only to pull an uncharacteristic dirty trick to get the clutch victory.  

I will be considering all requests as to pairings and endings you might want to suggest.  Do it on the document.
