The last couple of tournies have had the following format.  There were
three divisions that each character could enter:  singles, doubles, and
mixed.  The singles and doubles divisions are self explanatory.  A character
could enter the mixed either alone or with a partner.  Each character could
enter all three categories.  The tournement brackets were arranged in sets of
8 based on power level.  The winner would be determined through a double
elimination tourny.  These tournies would require a week delay in turn
processing and would cost $5 per character per category.

Advantages:

Teleports were made to the tournament location from all guilds thus allowing
characters from different guilds to fight one another.

Minimum of 2 fights.

Took place outside normal turns to allow characters who strictly adventure to
test their skills against other characters.  Many characters rarely fight
in the guild and enjoy this opportunity.

Great way for characters of all power levels to gain gold, magic items, and
experience.

The next proposed tourney will be a team tourney held in Antar.  Teams
of up to 10 characters will fight a tourney during normal guild processing
and will be arranged similar to the mixed, above.  The tourney will be
single elimination and will take several turns to complete.  It will not
have any additional cost.  The GM will not run the tourney if their is
enough negative feedback on it.  I like this idea because it will enable
some grand melees to develop.  I hope that it is a supplement that will not
replace the normal tourney format.
