Anyhow, back to the topic.

And Cmurgh[UTC+01:00] was lucky enough to be the guy that can challenge any one he wants.



Due to the fact that many contestants have busy RLs, we have decided to make the tournament more flexible for them.
Rules of the tournament:
1. Players have time until day 3073 to contact each other and make a schedule for a rendezvous. When you make a schedule make sure to notify me via PM.
2. Every match consists of 2 battles so that both players can play with both sets of figures.
3. Players that fail to show on the previously agreed rendezvous will get a KO. If you rival is missing for more than 15 minutes take a selfie and PM me.
4. Players that score 0 points in a match aka lose both battles get a KO.
5. Players that fail to respond to their rival`s PM within day 3073 and schedule a rendezvous, will get a KO.
6. Players that get 3 KOs are excluded from the tournament.
7. When you finish a battle take the link of the battle and PM me.
8. In every battle: a victory gives you 1 point, a defeat gives you 0 points and a KO, and a draw gives 0.5 points to both players. So in a match you can score a max of 2 points and send your rival to hell 😃
9. GOOD LUCK!!!

Prizes are as i have said 14.000 cc for first place, 8.400 cc for second place and 5.600 cc for third place.
