It is a closed tournament with pre-selected fighters.  The fighters are chosen from a series of mini events leading up to the main event for tryouts.  You must be committed to showing up to the actual event in order to compete though you do not need to be available for the entire duration.  If you are interested in being part of the tournament or as the support (waiters, entertainment, etc) please contact Evaleigh De’loncre in game.
This is a spectacle tournament (think Pro Wrestling). Â It will be full of gimmicks and upsets to make it amusing to watch. Â While a winner may be "announced" it's more for the show than the victory.
