Remember TrevinG's halo tournament? Yeah, well this is the next stage of that. The Winter 2018 Towny PvP tournament is in the works right now! Want your town to enter? Here is how each match will work:

Each town's best fighter will represent their town in the arena against another town's best fighter. The matches are 1 vs 1, bring your own gear. (More specifics in the "rules" about what gear is allowed and what is not) (will refer to them as "champions" for the rest of the thread)
Matches will be determined by a bracket system. Participants will be randomly numbered so as to provide the most fair matchups.
One battle will occur daily if possible (must be recorded, I'll record all battles unless I'm in a battle)
The final battle will be held at a time when the most players can watch live (probably a Sunday night in ETZ)
Anyone caught cheating will automatically lose (flying in battle, using illegal items, and hacking count as cheating)
Prizes for the 1st place Champion: 100k, bragging rights, statue of him or her at Bastion's arena, any heads gained in battle, a commemorative shield, and a dramatic written book about the entire event.

Prizes for the 2nd place Champion: 25k, bragging rights, statue of him or her getting slain by the winner at Bastion's arena, a decorational head, a commemorative shield, and a copy of the dramatic written book.

I'm excited to see how this turns out! I plan on editing all the fights into one video to hopefully draw in a few new players. I realize the prizes aren't the greatest but this is your opportunity to prove you're the best.
