[DSkillz]

Heh, one of my character adds from way back when has been mentioned. :D

As for this tourney, I have a couple of questions, the answers of which might be obvious:

- Does a match have to include only two unused profiles?

- Can said matches be part of a story arc, new or old?

These are good questions that need to be answered.

[IKA]

From what I understand, all participants in all setups must have been unused.

They can be part of an arc, but even so all participants must still be unused so you'd have to work around that prerequisite.

The requirement is that all characters used in the tournament have a Zero win / loss record.  All characters.

Quoteth the rulez:

Players may only use characters in the Tournament that have no wins and no losses.  The characters used may be pre-existing characters in the CBUB Database that have a zero win/loss record, or may be newly added for the purpose of the tournament.

 

Story arcs, Sorry, I don't know anything about those.  The rules don't discuss Story Arcs.

 

Oh, and the Tournament option is open. It's on like Donkey Kong.

 

 

[DSkillz]

No, what I meant was: if someone wanted to make, say, a 2 x 1 match or 3 x 3 match with all unused profiles, would that be staying within the tourney rules?

Also, a story arc on CBUB consists of multiple CBUB matches. Can a tourney match be a continuation of a match arc, as long as the explanation of that arc's main story doesn't bog down the content of the tourney match itself?

[IKA]

As long as all participants are unused, it'll still qualify. 

The story arcs bit is a non factor as long as all participants in the setup are unused. 

[Bergy_Berg]

Oh boy, multiple in already. Way to go people. I'ma try to have my first match up next week.

Also, it may be an exceptionally good idea to call dibs on characters you want to use, since once a character is used in one match it no longer meets the criteria to be used again.

[Fox]

With everyone dropping both their matches right at the start of the month, I guess there won't be much new to read later in July.

Haven't started on mine yet. I'm calling dibs on Doctor Who and Mass effect characters.

Hey, you're forgetting someone 😉

[Bergy_Berg]

I noticed a couple weird characters without any matches in the database. Like, Wonder Woman currently has no matches listed, but if you search the forum she's obviously been in matches.

Yeah, the original Wonder Woman profile was deleted because her reference links were replaced with porn links during the infamous 2013 site hacking.

Oh ok, makes sense then why Thundra also shows no matches. Well, hopefully this doesn't trip anybody up too bad on matches with unused characters.

Probably the same deal.

Is that why Mini-Me has no matches either?
