Determining a Winner
Junior Hiiragi is the Tournament Master for this tourmanet which means he will be judging the winner of each battle based on their role-play abilities and overall creativity. Once determined to be the winner, you will have to make a final post in your battle detailing the method of how your character actually won (the other member should approve of this so you don't just write about embarrassing them). If you don't make this post within the next 24 hours of being declared the winner, you'll forfeit! Winners will wait for the next round after all of the that round's battles are finished before starting their next fight. Alternate judges are Pan, Ra, and Razak.

Who can Register?
First off, you need to be an official member of Alex's DBZ RPG 5 to register for the tournament. That means you need to have a character that is listed on the roster page. Secondly, anyone on the site can join the Tournament no matter where your character currently is. If dead and in the Next Dimension/Hell you will receive a special Time Pass to leave your current out-world location and enter the Tournament. Only residents of the United States will be eligible to win the DVD prize. If someone who doesn't live in the U.S. wins, the DVD prize will go to the runner up.

Rule

1. You can win by three methods: death or knockout, ring-out, or forfeit. (Of course you don't actually die, this is strictly for battling purposes)
2. Fighter power levels will be reduced to 5,000 or 625 all stats for this tournament (think Nappa when the Saiyans came to Earth). If your power level is actually below 5,000, you will be fighting at your regular power. If power levels at tied, participants will use their real speed stat to determine who posts first in the battle.
3. All characters techniques will not be considered. Instead, you will be able to pick any 5 fundamentals, any 2 advanced, any 1 stance, and any 1 finisher at the start of the tournament to use during the tournament or any 6 fundamentals, any 2 stances, and any 3 advanced techniques. Special race techniques such as Namekian regeneration will still be known. Characters will also be given Bukujutsu, Power Up, and Speed Teleport x3 at no slot cost. Alignment also doesn't matter so you may pick spirit bomb if you are evil. Power ups will be considered advanced techniques. Once you have declared what moves you are picking, you cannot change them once the tournament begins.
4. If a participant is stunned by a counter attack their opponent recieves +1 action.
5. Every participant will have the ability to counter cttack the other only ONCE, the Final Round participants will be able to counter twice.
6. There will be no transformations, items, or weapons allowed during the tournament. This includes Ouzaru for Saiyans.
7. Round 1 battles will be required to have 8 posts. Round 2 Battles will be required to have 10 posts. Round 3 Battles will be required to have 12 posts. Final Round Battle will consist of at least 14 posts.
8. Standard roleplay rules apply (i.e. no god-moding, no auto-hitting).
9. If you do not make a reply in your battle for 24 hours, you forfeit your post and your opponent will be able to make another post. All of the actions of his previous post (that you failed to reply to) will automatically be successful. If you then fail to reply to that post in 24 hours, you lose the round.
