Prometheus Zex stood in Coliseum Immortal, high in his personal balcony that gave him a perfect view of the entire arena. The structure was packed full of people, many from the Omega Collective, but a good number also from off world so many having traveled far just to bear witness to the Galactic Tournament. Three days ago fighters had arrived and registered in droves, 72 promising fighters in all. All had registered with the hopes of being the one to rise to the top and prove him or herself the best. Now, only 18 remained. The first bracket had already been finished, and the field had been cut into a fourth of its starting size. Now that only 18 of the best remained a new bracket had been established. In order to keep those involved on their toes the second bracket was brand new, everyone’s positions to again be randomized.
Gripping the railing he looks down at the fighters standing in the arena, all no doubt seeing which four would be in the preliminary match ups. With eighteen left two needed to be eliminated before the bracket of sixteen could begin. Like the rest of the matches the draw would be random and those picked for the preliminary matches would be so because of fate. Smiling wide Zex throws his arms out, the signal for the next phase of the tournament to begin. As his arms swing out an audible click could be heard in the stadium as the sounds system is activated, connected to a small mic tucked into his robes.
”Greetings once again my fellow spectators! You have spent the last three days watching some entertaining fights, but I can assure you the real fights are about to begin. The 18 individuals you see before you are the ones that have proven themselves worth. Ranging from members of royal families to those that are all but unknown they all have earned the right for a true shot at winning the Galactic Tournament! Now, please turn your attention to the main screen as the next bracket is about to be revealed!”
With another wave of his hand a bracket appears on the screen, each slot a roulette of the different fighters that remained. Systematically the slots would be filled, revealing who was going to be in the two preliminary match-ups and the round beyond. Different cheers would arise from the crowd as the matches are revealed, different fighters having earned their own cheering sections throughout their previous fights. The next phase of the Galactic Tournament had begun!
(OOC: As said before there will be two preliminary matches, and just like the following rounds competitors will have 2 weeks to finish their fight. If the match is not over in two weeks admins will read and vote on them. Of course admins in a fight will not be allowed to vote on that particular match. Each match technically happens at a separate time so every character is allowed to “watch” each other’s match. If a full round is to have all matches completed before two weeks we will move on ahead of schedules. Please allow a day or two between rounds for us to grade and set up the next.
On a side note this is a Mini Saga so the only threads on Omega that are going to be given Saga bonuses are the fights themselves. Of course this does not mean you cannot do other threads around The Omega Collective with others, but they will be graded as normal.
Those that lose in the preliminary round or the first round are allowed to do one exhibition match against another player that loses in one of those two rounds. These are up to you to set up between players and let us know a head of time so we can official mark it down. These exhibitions will be given Saga bonuses so they are definitely worth your time and give everyone the chance to at least be in two fights with Saga bonuses. These matches will also fall within the two week time frame and will run concurrent with a given round. So if you start one in round 3, when round three is over then so is that exhibition. Please PM me with any questions.
Lastly we skipped the two prelim rounds for time and practicality purposes. We just figured more than 18 would sign up and you guys would be the ones to win out. Feel free to use those rounds in training threads later on.)
