Handicap Battles! 2K12!
back by popular demand! get your game face on! HB! is a battle royal designed to make you put your thinking cap on and stretch you to your limits. this isn't supposed to be easy! but it's supposed to make you better. I've seen some insane tags come outta this thing, so if you wanna get better, get yo punk ass on the sign up list!
Onto the rules and specs!
Who can join?
As always, it's open to all members, newbs and vets. After all, this tournament is all about increasing skillz!
Bring it on, CME.
fck yeah. All you need to do is say you want in and you’re in. Read on, chief.
Tournament Format
Handicap Battles! will implement the sudden death tournament format where only the winner of a match will advance to the next round. The tournament bracket will be released at least two days before the first round so keep checking this thread. Initial brackets will be picked at random.
Rounds and Matches
A thread will be created by the tournament presider for each match. The participants will be given 48 hours to create, post and edit their entries.
• Should there be an odd number of participants in a round, a pre-round match will be held between the two lowest-seeded participants.
• Seeding will be based on the total number of votes the participant garnered in all of the previous rounds.
Handicaps
Aside from the deadline, the tournament presider (aka me) will also place a set of restrictions/“handicaps” on submissions for each round. These restrictions may range anywhere from size limits to a total ban on certain graphics elements.
• To make the game a bit more interesting, some of the handicaps of the previous rounds will be carried over to the new round.
• There will be no new handicaps in pre-round matches.
here is an example battle thread
Voting
A 48-hour (2-day) voting period will begin immediately after the deadline. All members can vote, except for the two participants of the match. The tournament presider can only vote in the case of a tie.
Members must post a paragraph of at least three sentences about the entry they’re going to vote for, and one sentence of constructive criticism for the other entry. It’s a pretty simple format so if a member fails to follow it, he/she will be sent a PM by the Tournament Presider (aka this bitch) and will be given the rest of the voting period to edit his/her vote. His/her vote will be invalidated if it still isn't of the prescribed format by the end of the voting period. (Sorry, chief.)
Grounds for Elimination
• One loss
• Failure to comply with the handicaps
• Failure to meet the deadline will result in a forfeit
-----------------------
A list of participants will be needed by the end of the current tournament. That's plenty of time!
autobots, roll out!
