Summer Slaughter Rules
This is going to be a single elimination tournament. If you lose once, you are out; there will be no losers’ brackets. Also, mutual medium (deal from both artists, where the medium for that round was mutually agreed upon) from past tournaments is out. You have to rely on your best traits and hope it will garner you enough votes to carry you on to the next round of fighting.Fighter design sheet: Drawing can not exceed 700 pixels by 900 pixels. Portrait or landscape orientation is up to you. It must be colored. You can have another artist color this for you since it's mostly only for reference. You must show your fighter in a full frontal or ¾ view. Please save the action for the fight. A back view is optional and not necessary if you think we can gather all design information from front view. Please include a short profile for you fighter, including; story, skills/powers, height, weight, and record if you wish. Include only essential information. Nobody wants to read a novel. This profile is to judge how well you stick to your original idea during the tournament and for your opponent’s use when drawing your character. Try not to exaggerate your fighter's powers. Think Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. The design should be based around the fighter, powers come next. Entries must be posted by 7/18 11:59:59 PM EST. Post your designs in this thread.

Tournament drawing: This is an action pin-up or sequential. If you intend to draw a sequential, you must announce so to your opponent publicly on the forum. The drawing has to consist of both your opponent’s and your own fighter on page. I’d suggest showing your character winning
Pre, mid, or post impact is up to you. Medium is also up to you, but uploaded drawing/each 'page' of sequentials can not exceed 700 pixels by 900 pixels. Portrait or landscape orientation is up to you.For example:

In Case of Tie: If The match ends up in a tie, both combatants will advance to the next round resulting in a 3-way match.
Grace period: You will have one extra hour past midnight PST to submit your entry. This is for the slackers since I know ideas sometimes come only under pressure. Each artist gets to use this only once during the duration of the tournament.
Participation: If you fail to submit your drawing by the due date or bow out of the match at any time your opponent is automatically qualified for the next round. No fill ins.
Tournament seeding: This tournament will be seeded based on a poll running for four days immediately after sign-ups close.
Modding: Mods will be allowed to participate in the competition.
Rule Changes & Thunderbrawl: Rules can be refined/clarified during the sign-up period. Summer Slaughter will be pre-empted by Thunderbrawl if the original mod returns. Thunderbrawl may have additional rules and/or eligibility criteria. Everyone who signs up in this thread will be considered to have signed up for Thunderbrawl, provided their entry meets the appropriate criteria.
