The Inaugural Text Pro/Am Tournament

Prizes: 200 Credits & a Ring Item from the emcee shop, courtesy of Guts, and The Satisfaction of Winning


Have you ever seen one of those films where an old pro who has fallen from grace redeems themselves by helping an up-and-coming underdog rise to the top? Well given that you probably lead busy and difficult lives you are unlikely to ever become either of these roles, but the Pro/Am Tournament is here to help you live those fantasies out through a tournament! The tournament is a completely new format that will see site veterans teamed up with newer, less experienced members who they will help and advise.

Who should enter?
Veterans: The more experienced, successful, revered battlers on the site. If you have or ever have had a tournament title, LBA, LBT, moderator or admin tag below your name, or have been active on the site since before about 2015, or just generally feel like most of the people who have would think of you as a veteran, this applies to you.
Up-and-comers: Really anyone who has joined in the past 12 months or so is encouraged to apply. If you somehow meet one or more of the criteria to be a veteran despite having joined so recently then you count as a veteran, but otherwise this is your chance for a tournament win early in your career!


What are the rules?
The general idea and spirit of the tournament is that the up-and-comers write the verses with advice, feedback and information from the veteran they are partnered with. Obviously as a new format run through the forums the capacity for cheating is great and it would be pretty easy for the veteran to just write the verse; so if you're considering signing up to do this please don't ruin it for everyone else. The exact specifics and regulations of rules are open for suggestions from those wanting to participate and will be finalised closer to the time. The general format of the tournament will be an 8-bar text tournament with match-ups and deadlines communicated through forum posts. Teams will stay consistent throughout the tournament and the winners will be a team.

When is it?
At the moment the dates (and even whether it takes place at all) will depend on how many people sign up. Ideally it will be held in June, after the Text Concept Tournament but before the Text Tag Team Tournament.

Wow, this sounds like an awesome tournament, where do I sign up?
Sign up with your name below, and also whether you're going in as a veteran or an up-and-comer. This will probably be pretty obvious already but this way if I disagree with you its easier to have the discussion and sort it out at the time. If a particular veteran and up-and-comer want to sign up specifically as a team they can both signal that they want to do this in their sign-ups and I will pair them up, otherwise match-ups will be random.

Sign-ups:
(Format: "Veteran | Up-and-comer"; this is not the teams you are in, it is just the order in which you signed up)
  1. @Shodan | @Bone Daddy
  2. @exwhyzee |

Vet role guys don’t write the verses. Just give feedback and advice as the rookies write the verse

I'll put you as a vet; the number of times you've been an LBT contender etc definitely put you in that league

I'm w it.

joan of arc 05-11-2019 07:49 PM

eastes, vet is more about status and accomplishment. for example, edge is more vet than me and i've been here ten years. he's a better battler. if you want in, you'd have to be willing to be a rook role.

@o EaSTeS x I don't know what you're more suited to qualify as so I'm gonna go with @g u t s judgement on this one; if you think this is incorrect feel free to make your case in this thread because I'll probably be relying on the judgement of other vets to make the call.

Ok will do. I feel like this is blurring the lines a little though since you have technically held the LBT Championship before, so if we end up being short on vets and have plenty of rookies I'll move you over, but at this stage that doesn't look too likely.

Alzie 05-11-2019 11:27 PM

Sure sign me up

Sure. I assume based on when your account was created that you're joining as a rookie but if this isn't the case let me know.

Shodan 05-12-2019 01:41 AM

No offense to Bone Daddy but I'm already best-buddies with him. I'd rather have someone I'm not as familiar with. Gotta mix things up

Damn, you gon' do ya boy dirty like that?

Nah, he's right, though.

:monkey:

Kiwi Peewee 05-12-2019 03:14 AM

Sure thing, I’ll bear that in mind when matching up pairs. Or do it with a random number generator.

I'll agree that sounds a bit "off," but they're still good picks to be veterans if there's a higher number of REALLY new people.

If I joined LB and was immediately paired up to communicate with gutz every day I'd be on Netcees so fucking fast.

So you'd subject yourself to going back to how people used to write in like 2010-2013?

I'll sign you up as an up-and-comer now, if @BURDENS says they want to pair with you I'll put you together when I pair everyone up.

Kiwi Peewee 05-14-2019 12:16 AM

Am I allowed to sign up (as a rookie) for my own tournament? I'm assuming not normally but since I'm not actually picking things like concepts, schemes etc and this tournament would be really really helpful to me as someone looking for help to improve I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Student 05-14-2019 04:59 PM

Put me down @Lil Talent

EtH 05-14-2019 05:20 PM

Student bout to be a problem in this rookie category.

joan of arc 05-14-2019 06:09 PM
