Fall Warlord tournament!

G · Post by G » Wed Sep 04, 2013 12:55 pm

Warlord Tourney:
- All duelers wishing to enter the Warlord Tourney, will need to log one regular duel (since the date of the last WLT) in order to be eligible for entry. This rule only applies to the Warlord Tourney. Other tournaments or special events (e.g. Madness) will have entry requirements as defined specifically for those events (e.g. Warlords may not enter the Talon of Redwin tourney). The reasoning behind this requirement is reflective in the activity requirement for title holders. As the time between one tournament and the next is roughly equal to one cycle, duelist entering for a chance at holding a title should be able to meet the same requirements.

G has the right of it. You need a duel logged within the period beginning on June 16 and before September 15.

Was going to tack this up earlier but was sidetracked.

This means:

Aurast, Morgan, Rhianon, and Vanion all need a current duel in order to be eligible to sign up. If I forget someone, this does not mean you're excused.

Please pay attention to the rules people.

OOC: It would be helpful if this requirement were actually in the posted rules. I read the rules and didn't see this requirement at the time. Please don't make us have to reference updates, rules, amendments in various places in hopes of remaining compliant.

Regardless, the standings posted today reflect Morgan's current activity.

Also, what format can we expect? Last time it was a bit shocking to discover the usual (though I know not "standard") double elim changed to single elim after dueling had already started. Paying attention to the rules goes both ways.

The Warlord Tournament

A Warlord's Tournament will be held once every three months near the end of each cycle. There will be a grace period of fourteen (14) days prior to each Warlord's Tournament during which no challenge may be issued to the Overlord.

The first place finisher will have the first choice of any prize available. Each subsequent finisher shall then choose their prize until there are no more available. The list of prizes will include an intercession free challenge to the Overlord and any vacant Baron’s rings. Should a finisher refuse to select a prize, his prize shall default to the next place finisher.

The challenges to the Overlord, Barons, and any other prizes given shall supersede all other outstanding challenges and must be made within one week of the Tournament's conclusion. This challenge is not subject to the "Right of Challenge" and cannot be denied for any reason. This challenge shall follow the "Universal Terms of Challenge" with regard to response and dueling date. Challenger will not lose the right to challenge as a result of the Overlord challenge match.

Participants will be seated in the Tournament based upon their placement in the Warlord Rankings at the close of registration. If no Rankings are available, seeding will be placed via decision of the Official running that Tournament.
The results of duels fought in the tournament are not counted in the regular standings or Warlord Rankings.
There is no standard format by which tournaments shall be conducted. The tournament coordinator shall determine whether the tournament will be single elimination, double elimination, Swiss-style, or any other format seen fit. The format to be used will be announced before the start of the tournament.
There can be no tied results in a Tournament duel. The duel will go into overtime until it reaches a conclusion. A minimum of five points must be scored by the winner.
Reinstated Warlord’s must duel at least one (1) duel during regular dueling hours after reinstatement and prior to Tournament start AND the Standings Keeper must provide verification of reinstatement to be eligible for entry. This duel can include a Challenge match as long as it is included on the standings prior to the Tourney start date.

Updated rules are in progress.

Generally, I decide what format I'm going to run the WLT based on the number of entrants I have prior to tournament start. I was a little late in announcing my decision last time, though.

As for the WLT traditionally being double-elim. Well, like I said, I base my format on how many people I have entering.

Is this really the field of competition, then?

I've had bowel movements prove more challenging than this little party of duelists.

The challenge level of this tournament's roster, myself and Anubis excluded, is about on par with the challenge level of Harris having to decide whether or not he's going to wear a bandana today.

Why don't we just start trading Baronial rings to babies in exchange for their candy?

Have we ever had decent villains who, when attempting to make themselves sound better than they are, actually, you know.. live up to their "hype?"

Quality is dropping. We need Xanth to enter so a really good baddy joins up.

((Just as an FYI, Rhi's duel is in. Was recorded under a different SN. Adding a period after the D. in the standings info, that isn't in the SN, apparently created a new entry.
Rhiannon D. Harker (Rhiannon D. Harker) 1- 0- 0 0 2013/09/08

Request for correction was sent to Apple.))

After checking my schedule, it appears I'll be able to make this after all.

I have been fairly happy in semi-retirement, and I will not be entering this tournament.

But if G'nort Dragoon Talanador wins a ring in this tournament for the first reason of shattering a record, I will return, and I will challenge him. Simple competition and nothing more, old friend.

Also: Who the hell is Vanion again?

Let's see if I can pull a two for two in tournaments in under a month. I'll join if I can make it.

Lem! Let's one - two finish. For Beat Down!

Hear ye, hear ye! Twelve duelists did venture forth to fight for the prizes tonight! In the end, Aenlyn took Third Place and received the Overlord Grant, G'nort took Second Place and received the Barony of Dockside, and Morgan took First Place, claiming the Barony of Old-Market!

Well tried everyone, and well done you three!

Our standings keeper was kind enough to reach out very quickly to ascertain my alignment to our Overlord, Teagan. For public notice, I have aligned Old Market loyal to Teagan, and if she so chooses, my blade is hers in any test she might wish to impose on a challenger (that is not already promised a test-free challenge right).
