Announcing a new D2:R Classic Barb versus Barb Tournament. (Non-Ladder softcore non-expansion)

Starting date = 3 weeks from now (Saturday November 23rd). We will try to have most matches take place on that weekend, and have the Semi Finals & Finals take place on the following weekend starting on Saturday November 29th. The tournament bracket will be maintained at challonge.com.

Entry fee = 150 fg per character entered. Multiple characters can be entered if desired, as long as the fee is paid for each. Registration is open until November 22nd. If you wish to retract your registration, you have until the 22nd.... otherwise your opponent will win by default.


Prizes for winners:

#1 = 8,000 fg
#2 = 4,000 fg

Donations for prize pool are accepted!! *Thank you to the donors listed below*

- Battle Grounds: Blood Moor Act 1 Hell Mode (NA or EU or Asia depending on the participants' region) OR Inner/Outer Cloister Act 1 Hell Mode.
- Participants will duel under a 'First to 10' fashion, where the first person who wins 10 rounds will be declared the winner of said duel. Except in the finals, where the winner will be decided in a 'First to 15' match.

- If two participants come from different regions, the contestants will carry 'First to 5 - FT5' match-ups in one region (randomly decided), then in the other, until one of them wins twice. For instance, if a contestant is based in Americas and the other one in Europe, the first FT5 will be carried randomly either in NA or EU , then another FT5 match will be carried in the other contestant's region, until one of them wins twice. This regional situation also applies to the Finals, contestants will carry "First to 5" match-ups in one region, and then the other, until one of them wins three times.

- No hacks/use of shrines/third party programs allowed.

- Only mana pots are allowed during the match - Participants are required to complete the pre-fight white lance ritual before each match set. Any subsequent visits to your Stash will cause you to lose 1 point in the match set, and the trade screen ritual will need to be repeated.

- Match starts when both contestants say 'g' or 'go' or press the 'Time to die/Die' sound button on their numberpad (#6).

- Participants will not be allowed to enter town unless their round is over (no town ww allowed).

- Maximum character level = 81. This was decided to help everyone fight at the same playing field, and easily rebuild quickly if needed.

- Any elemental and poison damage is allowed in both tournaments, as long as it comes from the barb's gear. Chanting is not allowed.

- All passive skills are allowed going from Weapon Mastery, Iron Skin, Natural Resistance, Increased Stamina and Increased Speed.

- Skills that not allowed = Leap, War Cry, Battle Cry

- Brackets will be posted at challonge website, matches are generated randomly (unless player matches up against their own 2nd character)

- Battle grounds must be cleaned before each Match begins

- Breaking any of the specified rules above will result in a point in favor of the opponent.

Nice

Join us Dojo.

i'd take 2 spots

nice tournament, appreciate the effort from everybody involved.

You're in brother

1 spot here. nice idea

I think we should remove the following: "Participants will be provided with lvl 31 BO if they choose". This might encourage some smartass to rely on 3rd party bo rather than max bo on their bvb char.

Thanks, that was probably a copy/paste mistake on my part. (I borrowed some of the rules from jsp tourneys from years past)

I will fix that, because I agree with you

this is cool, I think it might clash with ladder s9 release which should be right around the 22nd

Even better. Use your newly minted NL character.

Season reset rush can wait.
