I may, but I'm testing the waters, as it were.

And there may be better, more informed, and more enthusiastic members who would make a better arena master.

I would offer to do it, but I use a netbook. 'Nuff said. I will, however, reserve seed 1. You should move this over to Community games section.

I'd love to do this if we did a Bay12 one.

It must be done. It is the will of Armok.

Done

I was thinking about the format the tournament would use. At SA, they did a simple single elimination tourny the first time around. Half the contestants are eliminated after each round,  which isn't exactly fair, but it's also more 'realistic'(when you die you die, though you still magically recover from horrible horrible injuries).

As for team matches vs. individual matches, I don't see why we can't have both. As far as I know we don't have the arcane thread restrictions that they have at SA.

I'd totally participate as a player. Yep.

Not a troll, not some basement-dwelling neckbeard, but indeed a hateful, rude little person. On the internet.
I'm actually quite nice IRL, but you people have to pay the price for that.

Now stop being distracted by the rudeness, quit your accusations of trollery, and start arguing like real men!

Do 4 tournaments. A single elimination 1v1, a single elimination 4v4, a double elimination 1v1v1v1, and a double elimination 1v1.

I'm working on a starting singe-elimination tournament. Start out simple. I should have the thread up in 5-10 hours.

I've contacted Vox Nihili of the SomethingAwful forums. He obviously put a lot of thought into the Rules and I don't want to borrow it without his go ahead.

How'd you manage that? I want to point him at Soapscum, and hear his thoughts.

I've gotten Vox's go-ahead and am busily setting up the tournament thread. It's a lot more work than I anticipated, especially since I am copying Vox's rules(with slight modification), but I should have it up by morning.

Please check the Community Games forum for the new thread, I don't plan on posting in this thread any more.
