Alright peoples, the tournament is ready to start! I apologize about the HUGE delay. First computer troubles, then internet troubles...let's just say things kinda fell apart literally the day before I intended to start. So, here is the information you need.
Since things are a little late and spring break is coming up, the due date for the first round entries is:
April 30thIf you can, get them in sooner. Once everyone has submitted, the judging can begin, so the next round may start sooner
The Judges are:

Alright, now I'll go over a few other loose ends that you guys have been asking about.
One, submitting a character is not necessary, but if you'd like the other participants to use a specific character for the matches, you can submit one and I'll post it on this account.
Two, when making your entry, be sure to keep your weapon's Traits in mind. The character you use will have little effect on the judging, so follow the Traits whenever possible. Also keep your opponent's Traits in mind, since you'll be judged on how well you portray both weapons.
Three, be creative! Even though you're supposed to win the fight you submit, don't make things one-sided in your favor. It'll be much more interesting if you can find ways around your weaknesses and have the opponent do the same. Always keep in mind that you are basically choreographing two people, not just one.
One final note, because of the smaller scope of the tournament, I'm going to post all six of each weapon's Abilities. However, the final ability cannot be used in this first round. That will be unlocked in the next round.
Well, that's everything. Make sure to check out all four items on the main page of this profile, as they are all important! Other than that, enjoy the creative process and I hope to see your entries soon!
