A bulletin board will be displayed near the arena's where players can view up and coming tournaments. All tournament options will be displayed so teams can decide whether or not to join. If a team enters, members will recieve a 72 hour then a 24 hour reminder via chat PM. Once the tournament starts, all teams are expected to show up and be near the arena. If a team is called to fight and they are not present, they will forfeit and be disqualified. In the event a new round begins with an odd number of participants, a wild card will be chosen (see below). Types of touraments:

  • Double Elimination - Fighting teams will do best out of 3, consecutive fights.
  • Bracketed - Losers from round 1 will figh eachother in round two. Remaining participants will then be merged with winners of round 1 for round 3. The remainder of the tournament will be like a standard single elimination.
