SF Tourny 2013 Clarifications

Now, you're probably wondering, "What the heck is going on? I signed up for a Sword Fighting Tourny and never heard anything back." Well, it's time I clarify that instead of assuming that all of you can read my mind. Unfortunately, I tried to host it right when BLOXtober came about, and realized "Wait a minute. I should probably put this back to November, after all of this Halloween Hullabaloo is over." This really isn't a complicated post, nor is there too much to include here.

Just one other thing. If you are interested in building a map for the Tourny, then make the map and PM me. I'm not looking for the most amazing thing ever, just something better than an empty baseplate. Size restrictions are 140x90 studs. Remember, I'm looking for creative and interesting, not complicated and boring.

Well, that wraps it up, nothing more to say. Stay tuned and watch your inbox when November rolls around.

Sword Fighting Tourny Round 1 Brackets

After lots of mail telling me to "GET ON WITH IT ALREADY", the first round is finally ready. Brandon and Dthshadow will be the first to duel, and are also going to be used as an example. Here's how the tourny will work: The two will be placed on opposite ends of the map in the arena. It will be best out of three, first to two wins, however you wish to put it. I won't waste time explaining, if you have any questions at all, just PM me.

I will PM you when I want you to duel, times will be arranged, etc. This will not all happen at once, probably over several days.

Introducing the Summer 2013 Sword Fighting Tournaments!

Hello! I'm here today to introduce a concept that was introduced last year as a fun activity to do over the Summer. I was the one who came up with the idea last year, and decided, alongside my friend and colleague Zakary99 to bring back the Summer Sword Fighting Tournaments!

History Behind the Tournaments: In the past, I had held these tournaments exclusively for the community of the Forums. Known in the day as "ROBLOX Talk," or as most of the community called it "RT." These tournaments were held under surveillance of myself and a friend. Our prizes were simple trophies and currency. There were only two of these tournaments held in the Summer. Then, I myself introduce this concept to the blog. Thus, creating a new tradition. The tradition was abandoned while I was gone, but has been resurfaced in 2013. 

What Remains the Same: There are several entities that have remained in the exact same format as before. 

• The rules.
• The lobby, with some minor changes.
• The practice arena.
• The prizes.

What Has Changed: Some entities have changed.

• The rules, a slight bit.
• The maps.
• The bracket. 
• The dates.
• The tournament amount.
• The map amount.

What Has Been Removed:

• Some rules.
• The old maps.
• The old bracket.

All information shall be revealed in a few days or a week. This information will include all of the tournament months and dates. Information on how to join in on the fun, rules, map information, and more! This article is just to introduce the tournaments.

Each tournament will have a theme added to it, a different theme each month. So, stay tuned for more information on these tournaments.

Thank you for reading this article, stay tuned for more! 

If you don't know me, read here. I'm a veteran writer who has returned for another fun time of literature and written excellence.
