[color=lightblue][u][b]ALL APPROVED BIOS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE CHARACTERS TAB BY TOMORROW 8 MAY 2015 BY 6:00 PM EST.[/b][/u][/color]

Welcome!

This is the first in a series of annual combat tournaments on Roleplayerguild. This tournament will take place on one (or more) maps in a single elimination bracket tournament. This tournament will utilize a Powered level for its character meaning powers should be considered carefully in terms of scope and potency.

The deadline for participating in this tournament is [b]May 7, 2015, 10:00 a.m. EST[/b]. By this time you must have indicated interest and completed the character you are using (you may choose the format of the bio). At this time the first map will be released for Round 1 of the tournament. After the first round is completed any map changes will be released.

[u][b]Rules, Guidelines, etc:[/b][/u]
[list][*] Standard Combat Restrictions for Powered. 
[*] Characters may NOT be posted into the characters tab until they have been given my approval on the OOC first. Editing characters that have been accepted and posted into the character tab is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. You may request to make adjustments up until the May 7th deadline. However, any adjustments made without my approval can result in character disqualification. This is to ensure that no abilities are snuck in without approval.
[*] Judging will primarily be done by myself. [@Rilla] can judge in the event of my absence. Under no circumstances are any participants to judge others' matches.
[*] Characters are approved on a first come, first served basis. Thus, it is strongly encouraged characters be submitted well in advance of the May 7 deadline. I am not under any obligation to accept characters even if they are submitted before the deadline if there are too many last minute bios. By submitting early you give your character time to be adjusted after any feedback I may provide, otherwise I may just outright decline a character's ability if it is on (or too close) to the May 7 deadline.
[*] You can add additional stipulations to the match if your opponent agrees.
[*] You may NOT loot another character's corpse. You may wager items, but these cannot be used during this tournament.
[*] Assisting another combatant out of character is considered against the rules and can result in disqualification at my discretion.
[*] Matches may not begin until after the May 7 deadline, even if you have been already matched with an opponent. After the May 7 deadline matches must begin within two days unless prior approval has been given by myself for a special circumstance. Matches that have been inactive for over 5 days without notification to myself (and subsequent approval) will be awarded to the most recent person who posted.
[*] In the event of an odd number of participants one person will be given a by for the round. This will be done randomly.
[*][b]NO WEAPON MAY LAUNCH A PROJECTILE GREATER THAN 250 FPS[/b]. This also will likely extend to magic.
[*] I am free to adjust the rules in the instance I feel: A) another rule needs to be added B) the wording of a rule needs to be adjusted to preserve the spirit of the rule.[/list]

[u][b]Tips:[/b][/u]
[list][*]While Sci-Fi and Modern characters are allowed, please consider carefully the implementation of many of the items found on these types of characters. [/list]

[u][b]Rewards:[/b][/u]
This will be determined once I know the number of participants.
