WELCOME! IT IS TIME TO BEGIN!
All Brackets and Seeds have been randomized for optimum fairness by a computer number shuffler.
Banners from all over the world hang in the stands and down to the field as supporters and fighters have made pilgrimage here from all over the world. Some for glory. Some for gold. Some for the love of combat. All stand today in the great annual tournament that is in honor of the blessings of summer and the longest day of the year. The summer solstice. The lord, proud and regal but warm and friendly, stands in a booth far above the arena and through a primitive megaphone makes the welcoming announcement, echoing through the hushed arena as though there were speakers and high tech equipment all around
"Welcome, one and all! We pay homage this day to the four gods of peace! And also the new addition to them, for which we offer thanks that we can at last after hundreds of years, hang up the banner of Zhadrah among the colors of our shining arena!"
Thunderous applause erupted as the speech was made and further pomp and circumstance of parades across the feilds and prayers for the safety of the warriors were offered up to the Gods.
Orik sat in disguise among the throng in the stands. As the tournament honored him and the other gods, it was customary for them all to keep an eye on the proceedings and to honor the winner when the time came to declare the champion. After all, it was only for the Gods to judge men.

Alright everyone! This thread is for the above mentioned participants ONLY! Any other posts into this thread will be met with consequences ranging from a warning to a temporary ban depending on the offense. As a refresher, here are the rules for the round!
Guidelines and Rules:
This event has is being hosted by Domhan Tir and it is law that technology is banned in this country. If you have technological weapons such as guns, rays or mechs you will been seen as breaking this law.
Keep your items close! Herbs, healing equipment ammo and other helpful/harmful items are limited. Don’t think we will just let you carry a backpack into this battle arena. Be realistic.
Be fair, you are no God no matter how much you may self-proclaim! Your battle moves are limited to 3 per post and you are to list them in order at the bottom of said post. Actions will include blade attacks, blunt object attacks, firing arrows, using a gift, using an item, blocking, evading and countering.
Battle Rounds:
In the event that more than 16 participants have entered we will host a mass preliminary round with a minimal scare that each contender has to meet in order to pass the round. These rounds will have their own unique guidelines and rules depending on the amount of contenders.
A typical round will have a maximum time limit of 1 week; each contender must post within 3 days or the previous contender. If you fail to post with 72 hours you will be disqualified. Your battle round will be first introduced by a staff member which beings the time limit. You may post once your battle has been announced and there is no limit to the amount of posts made during that 1 week.
Once your round and battle is complete, staff will grade it and determine a winner. This will take place over the course of 24 hours once the last post has been reached and the battle ended. The aim is for each round to begin at midnight CST and end 1 week later at midnight CST.
If you make it passed the semi-finals you will partake in the Champion Fight and a Bronze fight. You must be active the full five to six weeks even if you don’t think you will take first place.
Determining the Winner:
Each battle will be graded by all the staff; each fighter will be given a "report card" with the following criteria as it was used in the battle. The scores will be averaged out by a combination of the grades given by staff. It will also include a statement about the fight explaining why you got the score you did, because we want every experience here to be a growing one.
Each will be graded on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with a perfect score of 15. Each score will be explained privately to the fighter for their own personal benefit and the winner will be declared soon after.

- Realism : The first grade given by each staff member is the amount of realism used in determining how you controlled your character. Taking circumstances seriously and facing any challenges presented on the battlefield is part of this score.
- Innovation : The second grade given by each staff member is the innovation used in confronting obstacles presented in the arena, be they the opponent or something else used in the ring.
- Readability : This one is something that isn't usually included in tournaments, but I find it something that probably should be. This requirement is that we have to be able to read/understand exactly what it is you are doing as an audience, because as a gladiator style tournament, the expectation is that others are observing/enjoying the fight.
Each will be graded on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with a perfect score of 15. Each score will be explained privately to the fighter for their own personal benefit and the winner will be declared soon after.
GOOD LUCK TO PARTICIPANTS!
