GRAND DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT!
You may be asking "What the hell is Dodgeball!" If you're asking yourself that then I feel sorry for you since you've gone your entire miserable Dodo infested life without the soothing feeling of hard plastic bashing against your face. A lot of balls will be going into a lot of faces come this tournament and we want YOU to join in.
Registration? ITS FREE!
Dodgeball is a sport recently being introduced by noted Medical Professional and Crackpot conspiracy theorist Doctor Kaisin Ozerov created for the sole purpose of alienating friends and loved ones as swiftly as possible at what was supposed to be a friendly picnic in the Shroud. The rules are simple.
Each team will be comprised of three suckers participants. It is important that these teams come up with a unique team name to identify themselves!
The Ref will toss up a ball into the air. The swiftest member of their respective team will be selected by their team-mates to grab for the ball. Choose wisely!
The team with the ball makes life miserable for the opposing team. Chuck that ball as hard as you can at the opposing team by any means necessary! The faster and harder the better!
Oh no! Those guys just chucked a ball at you! If you get struck by this ball then you're out! But, hit or miss, your team now holds the ball. Select your ball chucker and hurl it right back at those who has oppressed your people!
Repeat this until one team is completely out!
If anything the team does pops the ball in defense or offensive plays then that person is automatically out!
The grand prize for this tournament of champions is 600K, split evenly among your team or, if your team so chooses, goes to a single teammate in a sudden death three way match between the three of you!
The Where:
Costa Del Sol
The Why:
Because
The When:
February 24th 8PM EST
The Prize: 600,000 Gil prize.
We will have booze, food, and whatever else decides to slither onto the beach!
((OOC))
The mechanics are still being worked on, but essentially we'll be working with rules seen in similar competitions such as the Grindstone or Spellguard. Each team of three represents a health pool. Each team takes a turn. Initiative rolls will be selected by their respective teams and will be labeled "The Ball Grabber" Whose duty it is to roll initiative for the team and grab the ball.
Once in play, your team will chuck the ball in the direction of the opposition by selecting the victim target. Use any means you feel is necessary. Abilities, powers, and aether are allowed so long as they don't pop the ball. The highest roll in any defensive or offensive play wins and you either dodge or knock someone out respectively.
We encourage you and your team to sign up here on the forums or to contact me, Doctor Ozerov in game with your team's name, teammates names, and that'd be it! Our hopes is that you're creative with your team names, come up with personas or gimmicks, and generally have fun with it.

Hey Ramen o/
If you need any ideas for the OOC dodgeball rules, then J&H have been doing public tournaments on and off at the Sunny Seaside Bar for the past year and a half, and internally for nigh on two years now~ I can verify that they work ruddy well.
Take a peek at the post here if you're so inclined:Â http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=10052&pid=195223#pid195223
Past runs have been great fun
