Okay ladies and gents, here's how it is. Since a few weeks ago, some of you may have noticed a new mode going around in the [m] and spirit servers. This mode is Amateur Wrestling, created by Mr-Deanster, suomynona, Stonewall and myself. This piece of insane badassery (spiritTV 10) should prove to be more than enlightening on the rules of the mode. If that doesn't explain it well enough, then allow me.

This mode was designed with pure grappling in mind. There are no dismemberments, only fractures. You can't directly damage the opponent, but you can damage yourself, so you have to be careful. You fight inside a circular ring, in sambo-like gravity. There are three ways to win a match:
By Points: have more points at the end of the fight than the opponent.
By Ring-out: Have the opponent touch the ground outside the ring.
By Pinfall: Pin any part of your opponent to the ground for 30 frames straight.

The competition will have a maximum of 24 fighters in it. To apply, you must post in this thread stating that you want to participate. Then one of the people running this comp will PM you stating if you have or have not been accepted (we reserve the right to reject applications, but rest assured it will only happen if there is a good reason). If you are accepted, you must send 750 Toricredits to Mr-Deanster as an entry fee.

The competition itself will unfold in two stages: Elimination (first stage), and Tournament (second stage).
NOTE: All events will take place during weekends.

Elimination Stage
This stage will occur on four separate goes, roughly one week after the applications are all filled up. During each scheduled time, all the 6 or less players in an assigned group will meet up in a designated server at a designated hour, where a comp referee will be waiting. Each person fights each other person in randomly determined order, and each fight racks up points for that person, according to the following designation:

Loss - 0 points
Draw - 1 point
Win by Points - 2 points
Win by Ringout - 3 points
Win by Pinfall - 4 points

As you can see, priority is given to pinfall victories.
As a special rule, if you get two straight draws, you are eliminated automatically. This ensures that only people with the will to fight are in there.
If, at any given time, you start to act like a complete dick, you are out of the comp. This is meant to be a fun event, and the refs won't stand for anyone flaming/spamming/etc and ruining people's fun.

After each person has fought each other person (up to 5 fights), their point totals are tallied. The two people with the highest score will move on to the Tournament Stage, which will be held one week after the Elimination Stage is completed.

Tournament Stage
This stage will occur all in one go. The 8 winners of the Elimination Stage will be randomly paired up, and will fight best-out-of-three matches to determine the semi-finalists. The four semi-finalists will be paired up at random on the spot, and will once again fight best-out-of-three matches to determine the finalists.
Once finalists are decided, the defeated semi-finalists will duke it out (best out of three) to determine first place. Then we move on to the main event: the Finals.

During the finals, the two remaining killing machines will fight it out Best Out of Five, and with the point system in play. Whoever has the most points after 5 fights becomes the Champion. In the event of a tie, we move on to Sudden Death: the first one to win a fight by pinfall becomes the Champion.
