Clash in the Wilds

[Jolilok]

As Jolilok walks trough the Hydlaa plaza, he watches the tournament invitation.

Jolilok smiles "It will be a nice one, I won't lose it"

[Rongar, I wish you good luck in your first tournament organization  , tell me if I can help you with something. Best regards!]

[Lupul]

Lupul , Gargaru and Rybbamma from VLAHII want to participate in this turnament.

[Rongar Elani]

Excellent! 13 people so far, thus we are on a very good way. If it keeps going like this, the event can forsooth be held in exactly one week from now.

PS: It won't happen overnight, but anyway, when we've got the 24 participants, sign-ups are still possible. It's always better to have more people available, for the case, someone from the core suddenly calls off. However, those who do not partake - for one reason or another - will get their entry fee back, of course.

*Edit* Update to the rules: See first post.

[Nefert]

Nefert cannot help but notice something flapping in the distance as she is talking to some friends in the Plazza. Just as she finishes her conversation there is a heavy downpour and whilst everybody is running for cover Nefert decides to go and see what it is. She picks it up but it tears as it is so wet. She sees that something has been written but she cannot make it out. Intrigued by this she leaves the torn pieces to dry out. On returning after placing the pieces together she starts to read although with great difficulty as the ink has smudged badly but is able to see enough...she smiles and decides to think about it.

I loved the way you presented this, well done.

[Rongar Elani]

Well then, it would need a small miracle to get 10 and more people signing up within a few days. New date for the tournament:

6th of October, time schedule remains unchanged.

[Rongar Elani]

One participant stepped out, so there is a total of 17 now. Everyone who wants to hop in, I'll give you time until friday (October 5th). If we don't have 24 participants by then, I'm gonna cut the starting field down to 18 and make some modifications to the mechanism.

[Rongar Elani]

Well then, 18 participants have signed up, and the date for the tournament is tomorrow, 19 hours, 43 minutes from now on. Now since I don't want to postpone the event yet again, I am forced to make some changes, like stated above.


The new mechanism

Part I ~ The preliminaries

The starting field is now cut down to 18 fighters, who are going to be put into 6 groups of 3. Each member of a group will fight 2 times against the other members. Points will be given depending on the outcome of each fight. The best 2 of each group forthcome.

The 12 remaining fighters will again be put into groups, this time into 4 groups of 3. And again, each member will fight 2 times against the other 2 members. Points will be given depending on the outcome of each fight. The best 2 of each group will then enter the finals.


Part II ~ The finals

The 8 fighters who were successful in the preliminaries are going to fight eachother in K.O. rounds, which means that a loss will be the end of the tournament for them. The 2 participants of each K.O. round will be determined by principle of contingency. This means, a die roll will decide who will fight against who.



The points

For each win in the preliminaries, the fighters will get 2 points, but like I said, the fights in the preliminaries are restricted to a maximum of 5 minutes, If none of the fighters have defeated their opponent by then, both will get 1 point. This doesn't mean though, that one could just run away for 5 minutes. If there is no action being taken to actually win the fight, a disqualification will be the result.

So, to summarize:

A win = 2 points
A tie = 1 point
A loss = 0 points
Run away for 5 minutes = disqualification


The prizes

Even though we didn't get the entry fees of 24 participants, the prizes will remain unchanged. Promised is promised

1st) 300,000
2nd) 200,000
3rd) 100,000


That's all folks. I hope I formulated everything well enough to be understandable. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but not everything turns out how it was planned in the beginning. Acts of god, you know. Anyways, good luck to all the participants, and to a hopefully good show!

PS: Sorry for triple-posting.

[Erisnas]

I will not be able to attend this event, however if you are on in a few hours I may be able to supply food for you to use.  I may be able to get some staff there but no promise.  Lets just hope that the the event goes of without any problems.

[Rongar Elani]

ATTENTION!

I made a mistake in converting the time zones!

The tournament will begin at 7PM GMT, not 8PM GMT!

Please, if you are one of the participants, or know some of the other participants, tell them! I would do it myself, but I have RL issues that hold me from doing it.

Again, pretty please tell everyone that it will start at 7 PM GMT, which is in about 5 hours and 50 minutes from now on! Thanks a bunch!

* Rongar Elani curses timezones and the daylight-saving-time crap!

[Rongar Elani]

A BIG thank you to everyone who attended, be it by participating or by watching!

It didn't really turn out how it was planned, and the server wasn't in the ... best condition. Nevertheless it went not too bad, although it was quite some stress to fill the holes that appeared due to about 6 or more people not showing up

Anyways, I had a good time, and hope everyone else too.

Here the rankings:

5th place: Akashani, Ribenoly, Tomislav, Sakmette, Quarry and Plank
4th place: Shalier, Kemedes and Jolilok
3rd place: Vesego
2nd place: Stylee
1st place: Rongar

Congratulations everyone! It was a great show, thank you!


(*cough* Yes, the worst case has actually happened, I won my own tournament. )

[Mordaan]

Congrats, Rongar!  And to the top 3.  It was a fun tournament.
*cough* even though I didn't get out of my group.   

[Akashani]
