PVP League - season 1

[BlackFoot]

I will be holding an ongoing event - a contest of fighters.
It will have posted and updated rankings of contestants as the season goes on. At the end of the season there will be elimination rounds until there is a champion. At this point the season will begin again.

Matches will take place in various locations around the map and at the convenience of the two fighters with a witness moderator + video for each match.

Edit: There seems to be alot of confusion about this point, or no one is reading the thread and repeatedly asking the same questions over and over
There is no set schedule for your fights. They are done at the contestants convenience, no we will not be holding this event ona saturday instead, because it is not taking place during the week or on a weekend. It is up to the contestants to organize their own fight and then contact a moderator.

Scores will be determined via a 3 pt per match scale. 2 points for a win, 1 pts for aloss and a bonus point if your opponent is killed within the first minute.
If both contestants are killed ina duel they each receive 1 pt
Combatants can decide their own rules before their particular match
if they cannot come to an agreement standard duel rules will apply to their match.
Rules must be explained to moderator before battle.
Battle begins on moderators call
Any character is welcome to join be it mage dexxer hybrid carpenter or fisherman.
You can enter only one character into the league during a season
All combatants must compete at least once each week.
There is no limit to how many times they can compete each week (unless you have fought all opponents in the league that week)
You can only face a certain opponent once per week
There will be a posted list of all contestants (and how to get in touch with them to organize a duel)
There is a 5k entry fee to register a player
There is a second 5k entry fee for the elimination rounds if you qualify
The gold is held and award at the championship
The season will begin May 13th and run until June 10th.
Any contestant may register at any time during the season
The Top half of the contestants (pts) will make the elimanation round
Elimination round format will follow later during the season.
Sanctioned duel areas are as follows - duels must take place in any of these 5 areas
(pics below)
Wrong entrance rooftop
TB arena
Loops tower (brit moongate)
ACE arena
Deceit Room (lvl 2 beside bone magi)

If you are not using a 3rd party moderator you can only fight at a location that will support rpv videos

Season Begins!
The first day matches can begin is Thursday may 13th, 12:00 am(wednesday midnight). This will forever be considered the beginning of a new week throughout the season and postseason.

Moderation - There will be a contact list of volunteer moderators who can come collect the fight fee and record the video. A moderator may also be a contestant so long as both parties in the duel agree to the moderator. You cannot moderate your own match. If a moderator is unavailable a fight will not be considered valid until the rules of the duel were posted, a video of the match is posted and both parties have signed off on the legitimacy of the match. It is inadvisable to have a match without a moderator as it can turn into a he said she said 'im not signing off on the video' flame war. But if you both trust each other and a moderator is unavailable it can be done.

EDIT -> due to some people not being able to use/forums makes proving by posting hard, so if both parties agree there is no need for video/mod, but the fight will not count if both parties do not agree in one way or another that it happened and that it was legit.

If there is a point tie between two or more players at the end of the season rankings will be determined from that point via win percentage, most fights, and most different opponents. If there is still a tie there will be sudden death matches to determine who moves into elemination rounds.

Hopefully the format of this ongoing event will allow for all players to take part regardless of their uber leet pvpness, as contestants have a say in who they compete against. If we get a lot of interest we will eventaully split the event into two pools, an A and B pool. Players will always start in a B pool and either work up to the A pool or stay in B, it will help create more balanced competition over time.

If you are interested in being a contestant or a moderator leave your name and the best way to contact you in this thread.

All participants use #UOSAleague to organize fights if you want its an irc room to idle in

Thank you

Week should start on a certain day, and I think moderators should have a uniform so people know it's a sanctioned fight. I'd also volunteer to be a moderator =).

I would seriously wait until the next pvp patch hits that will more than likely be changing pvp significantly.

This would allow everyone to get adjusted before it starts compared to it happening abruptly in the middle of a season...

Might be good to get it set up now, get people dueling in these spots anyway, and then start the Season after the patch, it would give time for the general pvp population to "digest" this. Good idea though

[Eulogy]

I will volunteer to be a moderator.

[UnknownLord]

Im in - Dongs. But do we have to pvp on the set dates? saturday is better imo..

[Choppa X]

I'm in. Wait for the patch to go in though. Dueling how it is now is no fun.
