OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREAD

With the start of our tournament on the horizon, we will have a main thread for the proceedings of the tournament (much like last year) and the user/participant discussion of the tournament should only take place in this thread. We appreciate your cooperation.

I am honored to be the primary spokesperson/host of the tournament, and am very excited to see what wonderful pieces our competitors will put out. In saying this, I can tell you now that this year's tournament will be fun, challenging, and much different from the previous tournaments held... but you will find out more about that as the time comes.

Like I said before, the primary thread for the tournament should be up within the next two days or so... but for now, all OOC discussion of the tournament should go here. DISCUSS!

This. I'm a HUGE supporter of the new generation, man. Primarily because they're good, but also because that's the way I was brought in. Guys like Nige & DC for instance, they were quite critical but very supportive when I was first coming in... I would love to do the same for the new generation. But I do love my oldheads, haha. Best wishes to EVERYONE in the competition.

Nice to have a good turn out for this, should be good to see where it goes. With a bit of luck, the opening round will be match writing, I find myself better at that than a promo so here's hoping. :p Good luck to everyone who signed up, surely someone can take Melvis off his throne? 8*D

Some people are in for a very big surprise. :punk Haha.

I hope everyone does their best. =) I think the last tournament I fully participated in was the first Worlds Tournament.

I don't really know the people who've been writing from 2006-on (I was mostly involved with Szumi and Wolfy, and spent time returning reviews and such, but yeah most of the stuff I've read regularly were those two) so it'll be interesting to see how things have changed over the last 6 years, if at all.

Looking forward to seeing how this tournament turns out, got a lot of ideas, but can't really be sure what I'll be allowed to use until the rules for the rounds are actually announced.

Just an idea, but it'd be cool if the past King of BTB tournaments could be stickied in one of the sub-forums, possibly the Hall of Fame sub-forum? I enjoyed looking at last years tournament which Crooked Reflection linked to in the sign-up thread. And besides, the winner should be immortalized, right? ;)

Good luck to all participating in the tourney also.

Colored usertitle??? I better inform my Professors I have something important coming up and might not make it to class...

Haha...nooooooooooo my utter distaste for WWE's and Impact Wrestling's current products ruined! But yeah, I can see how that could muddy things up if the criteria was so loose that I could be writing a crazy Joshi match where every finisher is hit before the match ends and then someone else had a WWE match where usually the match ends after 1 or 2, rarely 3 finishers. But I guess we will have to wait and see.

Psh. Just give me the colors!

Edit: Also from each post now I'm going to annoyingly persist the tournament thread be posted...
 
#27 ·
Hmmm. I wouldn't like there to be too strict of a criteria, some freedom at least. I'd hate it if I had to write something that was more current because I'm not a big fan of doing this, I'm more of a late 90's ECW/WCW or an early 2000's WWF/E type of writer as opposed to modern stuff but, I guess that's how it goes.

Thats why normally in most tournaments up until now you could pick the wrestlers/time frame and what happens/results of it but to make it easier to compare the two peices of work and judge, there type of match/promo is decided if it's a normal match or some sort of stiplation. Which should leave enough room for creativity.

I love how one small comment turned into a big discussion about how restrictive the stipulations will be when there hasn't even been any signs of any strict restrictions. When KingRo posts the tournament thread, I'm sure things will clear up for those who are worried.

The post should be ready to go within the next 24 hours, fellas. Bare with me, I'm trying to make sure there are no loose ends before we get the ball rolling. Side note, I've just been informed that Jamjam22 has dropped out of the tournament due to personal obligations.

I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Was that appropriate? Haha.
 
#33 ·
People dropping? Whaaaaaa! :'(

Well at least it was before the opening round ended.

Paces all over the place waiting for tourney to start.

I would like to say good luck to all you guys. Although i didn't get to enter the tournament due to me not signing up on time which i'm still mad at myself for not doing. I am still excited to watch this whole tournament unfold, hopefully next time you guys do another tournament i will sign up on time.
