DETAILS
---
-A few prominent Chinese officials and influential members of high standing are the sole supporters of the Shen Lu Meta-League, while a majority of officeholders find such an extravagant act too much of a risk for high-profile television.
-The entire tournament is funded mainly by the League’s inventor, the rising financial expert Shen Lu, along with the generous sponsorships of multiple company interests.
-ANY meta-human that can pay the admission fee is allowed to compete, wealthy sponsor or no. (This means you, Rebels!)
-Taking place in one of the tensest regions in China, Shanghai will be the home of this event. All kinds of eyes will be watching. So keep your nose clean for the big wigs or make the biggest scene you can muster!
-Lodging is provided for all contestants in a state-of-the-art resort to recuperate and train in private.
-Strange stirrings have been going about behind the scenes. Will you sacrifice fame to solve the mystery? Or will you give your all to take home the gold?

CIRCUMSTANCES
---
- DOUBLE ELIMINATION
The double elimination bracket is derived from the single elimination format but is split into two sections, the winners' and losers' brackets (W and L for short). The W bracket is almost identical to a single elimination bracket; however, losing in the W bracket does not eliminate a contestant from the tournament. They instead drop into the L bracket at a position that reflects how far they advanced into the W bracket. Anyone who loses in the L bracket (their second loss of the event) is eliminated.
The first round of the L bracket pairs two contestants who just lost in the first round of the W bracket. The winner of this set then plays a contestant who drops from the second round of W bracket due to a loss there; the contestant is placed in the bracket at the letter/number corresponding to the set in W bracket where they lost. Further L bracket rounds alternate between these two set setups: two contestants who survived earlier L bracket rounds play, and the winner of that faces someone dropping from W bracket. - TWO ENTRIES PER MEMBER
Each member will be allowed to submit two characters into the tournament and filling out a short entry form for each one that includes basic information such as their name and reason for participation. The entry format is as follows:
Name:
Alias:
Age:
Motive: - INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGES
The challenges will not always be one-on-one combat between two meta-humans to see who comes out on top. The challenges will be decided out-of-character by participating members, though they will require staff approval. They could race each other, tackle an obstacle course, engage in an ethical debate, go on a treasure hunt against one another, or even have a rap battle, or something! (Don't actually do that last one.) - RANDOM BRACKETS
Each character will be given a number based on the order of their enrollment in the tournament. These numbers are then entered into a random number generator paired in groups to set the matches. From there, the two participants will decide the terms of their challenge!
