1. Start with 16 members.
   
2. Split with 2 groups of 8 forming Group A and Group B.
   
3. In Group A - 2 separated duels are held > 2 winners fight each other  to represent Group A.
   
4. Same thing happens in Group B to find a representative for Group B.
   
5. Group A winner fights Group B winner to compete under Final 8 category.
   

Depending on how many guilds and individuals rsvp in advance all or less amounts of teams will be used for this upcoming tournament.

In the likelihood an entire guild of 500 wishes to participate; there will be 2 sets of 16 teams that will fill 32 sPvP servers and combat a 1 vs 1 duel match with within rounds 1-5.

Due to sPvP time limit, these may take no longer than 05-06 minutes per person and each participant in each team gets ONLY ONE life per round. If both players hit the time limit, then whoever has above 75% hp advances. If both have 100% then they will call a draw and the server team referee will pair them up with someone that is not the same person.

This structured tournament will resemble a lot like the ones in an anime called Dragon Ball Z which two people are paired to fight for a goal until there are no more contestants and you end up with one winner.

Since I am sponsoring this event; depending on the large-small quantity of individuals who show up, I will require volunteer referees. Guilds that participate with over 256 members may, in their own discretion, use their officers to administrate each of their teams using these guidelines. The rest must have a volunteered referee accompany them to communicate with me who advances into the next round.

Each listed referee will be in charge of giving an objective fair score based on performance. Please respect them and listen fully well to them.

The score a referee will give to you will be either a Pass or Fail. If the contestant passes, he/she will advance into the next round, and so on until all 5 rounds are accounted for and each team as shown by the example tournament picture above (in-progress) have reached the final round.

ALL REFEREES WILL BE GIVEN ONE WEEK ADVANCE NOTICE ONCE THE SHEET HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THE 15 MEMBERS THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR. IF A MEMBER SIGNS UP FOR THE EVENT BUT IS A NO-SHOW, REFEREES MUST MARK FAIL ON THEIR SLOT SO THEIR OPPONENT DEFAULT WINS TO THE NEXT ROUND. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO ASK ME VIA TS3/VENT/SKYPE/FACEBOOK OR HERE!

Team referee's /whisper Master Saber and tell me the winner of each team.
I will take these 8-16 finalists and evaluate their performance during this round and record/live-stream each match segment. In the end, we will have 2 contestants remaining that will both progress toward the Semi-National Round.

1. This round will consist of myself, the winning GvG leader/voted representative, 2 Finalists and 12 first come/first serve referee's. Everyone else will have to wait for the video to be released to see the awesome battle. (unless someone volunteers in broadcasting it on twitch).
   
2. This battle restriction is 15-30mins long depending on skill/health/build for both opponents.
   
3. The 2 Finalists will duke it to represent the Semi-National Round winner. Once he/she is chosen, then he/she will have to face two more players for completion points.
   
4. The Tournament Semi-finalist will combat the GvG winning leader for ONE prize point. (I will explain GvG below tournament details so those interested can partake in GvG & encourage other servers to sign up).
   
5. The Nationalist Winner will gain ONE Point and then have a chance to challenge me for the ultimate tournament winner 2013 title.
   

National Round (Ultimate Round)

The winner of the last battle gets to proudly stand up against Master Saber's (My) character. IF the contestant out-bests Bear, he/she will gain ONE point.
