New Tournament
- This will be a 2 person team-up tournament. That is, you will be choosing a partner.
- Your team will be collective, not individual. This means you will both construct one team, you will not be constructing two individual teams.
- There will be several roles that need to be filled, and it is up to both you and your partner to decide what character you both believe would fill the role best.
- Each round will be different, and you will not necessarily allow your entire team. What does this mean? You will not always be debating with your full team, some rounds will only allow a fraction or subset of the characters chosen.
Team-Up Guidelines:
You and your opponent will each have to build your collective team.
You have to choose how your team will function together. You can compose your team of characters you both know in detail, and both debate with all your characters at once. You can each take the lead in certain parts, and each debate separately with characters you each know very well and in good detail. Or a combination thereof, I don't really care.
If you don't get along well with someone, don't pick them as a partner.
Tournament Rules
- You pick a partner first, a team second. Don't build a team, and then call someone in as a partner as just a fill-in or as someone you can force to choose your team. Ask someone to be your partner, when they accept, you build a team.
- Once a version of a character is chosen, that version of that character can no longer be used. That means there can be 6 Wolverines in this tournament if people wanted, but no more than one of any single version (so once Ultimate, 616, X-Men Evolution, Movie, Age of Apocalypse, Zombieverse Wolverine, or any others are chosen they are out). Obviously this applies to all characters, not just Wolverine I was just using him as an example.
- You WILL debate respectfully. Guess what? You're not the only one trying to prove the you are right. Obviously your opponent is going to try to prove why you are wrong, and why their team can counter or defeat yours. Calling someone an idiot for not agreeing with you, constantly insulting them, or anything of the sort will not be tolerated. You will not receive more than a single warning, and if you cross the line too far with your first offense you can instantly be removed from this tournament. You've been warned.
- Have fun. We all do this by choice and in our free time. This isn't supposed to be work, this is supposed to be fun. Most of us who troll (yes, I use that word with full knowledge of it's web-meaning) the battle forums do it because we love to debate and to flaunt our debating skills and flex our nerd muscles (I apologize if you don't like being called a nerd). So have fun with it, do something ridiculous, or don't; just remember that it's all about getting some gratification. If you lose, you lose, but try to go down swinging! :P
- Build within the limits. If you are caught with someone outside the limits of this tournament, they will be removed and you will be left to debate as if you never had them. You will not ever get a replacement for that slot. You've been warned.
- This is comicvine: You must have at least 1 comic book character on your team (any universe). This is comicvine after all, and as much as I love manga, video games, movies, anime, cartoons, tv series, and etc. I really believe tournaments have really been lacking in western comic book characters.
- Limitations are Absolute: This means a character cannot exceed these limitations by any means. If you pick a character who is at the limits at their base, and has something that enhances it further, then they cannot have that something. Whether its a buff to make them stronger, armor to make them more durable, or whatever, it's not allowed.
- Not covered in limitations. You know the power level I'm looking for, and if you don't, ask. No picking a character with electrogeohemopyrokinesis and claiming I never specifically stated you couldn't use a character who could manipulate the earth's magnetic field in a capacity to cause intense friction in the iron in a person's body causing them to light on fire and explode. Oddball powers are to be okayed by me before they can be used.

The Champions:
Each team will get two of these. This character is my way of ensuring that you will both have a character to debate with in every match. Each team gets two champions, one for each team member. So both you and your partner will choose a character you love to debate with or want to debate with.
