The Great Escalation Tournament

 
We at EnterVOID understand that things are difficult right now in light of world events.  So, we’re coming at you HOT and setting your world ON FIRE. Get ready for the Great Escalation Tournament!

The concept for this brand new tournament type is rather simple, but with some new rules added into the mix.  Each round will increase in intensity as it goes on!

Round 1: Normal battle match; losers are eliminated from the tournament bracket but goes about their way with only the bitter sting of defeat.

Round 2: Scar match with all the rules that apply; losers leave with permanent and lasting reminders of their loss.

Round 3: Death matches where the opponent’s lives are on the line!

Round 4:  And the final ultimate victor will be decided in an annihilation match.  Surpassing death, the loser will cease to exist.

Do you think you’re up to the task?  Do you think you can handle this kind of combat throwing everything Void has at you?  Then sign right up!

Sign-ups: Now -  March 30th.
Round 1 Start: April 1st.
Round lengths: 2 weeks

The tournament anticipates a maximum of 16 participants but if we exceed 16, then administration will cut it down to 16. Signing up for the tournament does not guarantee participation. Cuts will be made based on a variety of factors, including your participation in previous tournaments, your recent default record, and the ratio of seasoned VOID vets and new folks. Please understand that making cuts is always very difficult for us.
Please also be aware if the number is under 16 that 3 way matches may occur.
New characters as well as existing characters are available for sign ups.  Because of the complexity of this event, character teams will not be allowed.  Borrowed characters will be allowed.  New characters that are eliminated will revert to provisional status following the tournament following Battle Pass rules.  Defaulting on the first round and not submitting a comic makes new members ineligible for Battle Pass activation.

IN-DEPTH RULES:

To reiterate this is a 4 round escalating tournament with four match types rolled into it.  Disqualifications will occur if you fail to depict your opponent in your comic and if you fail to follow the regular rules of the match type for that round.  (i.e. depicting a scar in the scar match round, depicting character death in the death round, etc.)

FIRST ROUND: Normal Battle, with normal battle guidelines.  Winner moves on to round two and loser is eliminated from the bracket.

SECOND ROUND: Contestants must follow normal scar match rules.  Opponent’s scars must be clearly depicted in the comic.  Winner moves on and the loser will receive the scar and become inactive until such time that their artist updates the ref sheet with said scar.

THIRD ROUND: Contests must follow normal death match rules.  Opponent’s death must be clearly depicted and the losing character will have their status changed to Dead.  They will no longer be able to participate in normal matches with the exception of Annihilation, Month of the Dead or Special Events.

FINAL ROUND: Final match will be a special Annihilation match with an exemption made in this case.  Normally, Annihilation pits dead character against dead character with the losing character being erased from existence and no longer eligible for any match or tournament types save for Beyond Battles.  In this case, the losing finalist will cease to exist and achieve Annihilated Status.
