This Tournament has been created to showcase the finest warriors and fighters the Galaxy has to offer, in a unique virtual reality experience modeled after the ancient colosseums of Rattatak. Warriors from across the galaxy will meet head to head in pitched battles in the sacred sands as they fight for Glory, Money, and Prestige!
With numerous prizes in store for those who participate, the Tournament of Champions hopes to crown a Galactic Champion, as well as reward those who embrace the struggle and climb to the top of the rankings!
Particpants may use any combination of three weapons/items that they so desire, with the only pre-banned weaponry residing in the form of the shattergun, lightsaber, and other such 'lightweapons'. All types of Blasters and melee weapons are allowed, though subject to the judges decision as to fair use.
Weapons and armor used will be non-unique in make up, with no imbued powers or special bonuses associated with their use. Ancient Sith Weapons/Artifacts with great power are disallowed. Beskar, Cortosis, Ultrachrome, Phrik and other such special armor materials will be treated as normal durasteel for the duration of the match, unless otherwise noted. [ex. Ultrachrome bracers, etc] For those versed in the Force and its mysteries, a limit of the use of six powers has been constituted, with a maximum rank of Intermediate.
It should be noted, that this maximum rank of Intermediate only applies to powers that are ranked higher than such for a particpant. If a Padawan or Apprentice chooses to enter, the powers are not automatically 'upgraded' to Intermediate level, and must be used at actual level. Non Force Users are allowed the use of another weapon to compensate their lack of the Force.
Powers that are dissallowed for use in the arena include: Art of the Small - Potential Abuse Fold Space - Vastly Overpowered Malacia - Vastly Overpowered/Potential Abuse Force Slow - Overpowered Force Affliction - Overpowered Force Plague - Vastly Overpowered Force Blinding - Potential Abuse Force Net - Vastly Overpowered Mind Shard - Overpowered Shatterpoint - Vastly Overpowered, especially when breaking weapons All forms of Stealth or Concealment based powers - This is one on one fighting
The setting for this grand tournament will be a digital recreation of the infamous Cauldren, the Grand Colosseum made famous by the brutal Rattatakan Death Games. This digital colosseum is as realsitic as possible, with a sand floor, and a ringed spectators stands. Feel free to cause wanton destruction at your leisure, as all digital damage will be repaired before the next scheduled match.
These battles are to be fought in a gladiatorial style, meaning that these battles will predominantly be fought one on one, however paired match ups and large scale battle royale type matches may or may not be included depending on external circumstances. Two fighters will enter, one fighter will leave; after the two combatants battle until the point of death, or continued battle becomes impossible.
Master of the Arena, Darth Crucious, will preside over the battles as judge and host of the ceremonies, watching each battle to ensure that no forms of cheating or match manipulation is made to disrupt the ceremonies. At the end of each battle, a score will be rewarded based on the combatants performance, which will go towards each combatant's over all rankings. Simply losing will not constitute in outright elimination, as the final scores will have the ultimate say in the final outcome of the tournament.

Master of the Arena's Note: Ultrachrome plating or constructed armor is not allowed. The ultrachrome equivalent is meant to be used for gauntlets/shin protection, or other special uses that mesh with a particular fighting style.

For disarming an opponent, a fighter will receive 2 points.

Hi, so stupid question but do we wait until the first two fighters have finished their bout to begin the next fight or may we start our own bouts in other topics?
