I would like to know the rules of the tournament before signing up. It seems like the goal is to determine who the best dueler on US East is. However, if the tournament allows unconventional rules, it could create an imbalance between real skill and simply winning due to superior gear etc.

Speaking of balance, FPK matchups would be the most suitable for this type of competition, as these characters are designed to be balanced against each other. My concern is that if the goal is to identify the best dueler, it should be based on their skill and gameplay level, not on class or gear advantages. Competitors should be placed on a level playing field, where gear or class differences don’t significantly affect the outcome IMO—ensuring balanced matchups, rather than, for example, a V/T facing a Bowazon.
