The Tournament of Worlds

Gather here for the opportunity of a lifetime - the chance to represent your home world in the most noble and honourable of competitions, for there is no greater a field for displaying a warrior's prowess than that of the battlegrounds. Here, you prove your strength, your courage, your valour, your determination, and you prove it not only to me, your peers, or the worlds across the galaxy, but to yourselves as well. For it is here, through your sweat and blood, that you will grow to define yourselves.

This is the Tournament of the Worlds, and your glory awaits you.

4.) With the exception of the On-Site Healers, the use of magic is absolutely forbidden. Battles are to be fought only with the specified craft of the division.
5.) Battles will cease upon one of three things:
one or both combatant(s) concedes defeat and retreats from the battle.
one or both combatant(s) is rendered unconscious or unable to continue fighting.
the Warden determines that the battle is unjust or has become a threat to one or both combatant(s)'s life.

Entry Submission Form

Name: (self explanatory) Home World/City/Village/Etc: (if they'd like the name of their world to be announced alongside their name at the commencement ceremony! We also encourage wearing the colours or symbol of your home. This is all about representing them, remember?) Division: (which tournament division your character would like to participate in. For the sake of keeping one person from dominating the entire tournament, we ask that you only participate in one division. Thank you for understanding!) Weapon: (if applicable: what weapon they will be competing with for their given division.) Power: (so that they know what to look for to ensure no magical abilities are being used to gain favour.)

OOC Process of Events

Each character submitted will be placed on a roster with a respective number/colour for identification.
Characters will be entered into a standard competition tier system using the Random Number Generator.
I'll probably physically create the charts, just for visual aid. Because I hate myself. :(b
There will be a catch-all log for the tournament, where players are free to log out their respective battles if they so choose.
If players choose to opt out of ICly playing out these battles, the victor will simply be announced within the aforementioned log by the Warden.
Victors of each individual battle can be settled one of two ways:
OOCly discussed between the two involved parties under supervision of the hosting mundanes/mods, because we want to make sure these things are kept civil and fair!
Designating either character even or odd, then entering 1 - 50 to the Random Number Generator.
This is left to player discretion, you guys can decide which method you'd like to use!
Overall tournament victors win a prize that is being donated by Thor, so we'll announce what those are when the time comes!
Also, as a side note, I made all of this up so I have noooo clue how accurate or even viable these things are. Just play along. Pretend things make sense. Shh. I am super srs bsns.
