**Tournament Rules**

This tournament will be a 1v1 Round Robin format.

Tournament matches will take place between January 7th and January 14th, if there are 10 or more participants. You will have one week to complete your duels against each other tournament participant

Each Challenge will be a First-to-Five. Should opponents be cross-realm, a First-to-Five will be had on each respective realm, if so desired.

A victory in a First-to-Five will award 1 point, and a loss will award no points. Individuals with the greatest number of points will determine the tournament prizes.

A Tie-Breaker, if necessary, will be determined by each individual's overall record in individual duels. Whosoever has the highest win percentage will win the tie-breaker.
---If this does not resolve the tie, the winner will be determined by the outcome of the challenge between these two participants.

Prizes will be awarded as follows:
---1st place: 1000fg
---2nd place: 500fg
---3rd place: 250fg

The use of a token at any point following your first duel is not allowed.[/SIZE]

I will be donating 1.75k to fund the initial prize pool. Feel free to donate to fund additional prizes/increase the award.

If you wish to participate, please respond with the name and build of the character you will be using.




Adjustments have been made from the standard LLD101 duel ruleset, largely in consideration of conversations had on discord - This will be the first opportunity for many of them to be tested in a competitive environment.

Below are the entirety of the duel rules, with adjustments to the existing ruleset highlighted in red.

Placeholder for Participants

Love it when nobody touches my class 😊

Im in Matlaver86/TheWeatherGuy - BoKatan bowa

I will join if the 8 min auto lose timer for sorc is removed.

Timed duels do not make sense as a barb could intentionally spam leap or a trapper can sit in 5x traps to draw out the match for an auto win. Everything else looks fine.

They're packing my computer up on 9january22 to move back to the US, lets start this weekend.

Count me in.

I’m in with my Libby - Mew

If individuals are deliberately using this as a win condition, this will be addressed. We'll have to catch you next time. Thanks for the interest.



If we get enough participation by this Saturday, the 31st, then we can start this week. I just wanted to give plenty of time to get folks in.







got you guys

---Lightning Sentry damage while wielding dual claws is not to exceed 2100

So far we've got:
1. Matlaver86 - BoKatan (bowa)
2. Faxx - Fax (barb)
3. ThisDonger - Mew (libby)
