Attention!
Two days ago, the eight teams for the Collab Tournament were revealed. Today, Iâll be showing which teams are competing against each other as well as the general rules for the tournament.
And I know you all are asking, what happened to @uenodivision ? Isnât he usually in charge of the planning and execution for the Collab Event? Yes, he was, however, due to hisâŠever expanding hiatus, I have taken it upon myself to keep the project going in his stead. Now I know that the past Collab Events wereâŠmediocre to some at least and should this Collab Event be the last one then I want to end it off on a good note where everyone can be involved whether youâre still active in the fandom or not.
Now with that out of the way, letâs get to the rulesâŠ
Rules:
Schedule: The Collab is scheduled to begin on November 1st, the first Saturday of the month and will continue through the rest of the month until the 5th Saturday which is the 29th. Iâll try to have all of the songs posted by or around 2 P.M. (CST). If not by then, then definitely before 6 P.M. (CST).
Song Selection/Sending In Songs: After the theme has been chosen (and a winner from the previous round has been announced), you will send me a song that you want your OC to sing by DMing me either on Tumblr or Discord (if youâre part of the community discord; more information can be found here). The song can be whatever you want, if itâs animated or sung by a real person, itâs fine, I donât judge; I know how hard it can be to find a song/singer that sounds or feels like OC (This is completely optional but if you want to personal name the title of the song your OC is singing then feel free to do so but otherwise, weâll just use the default title)
IMPORTANT: If possible, please try to send your songs in ASAP. Iâd like to have all songs by no later than Thursday night or Friday morning at the very latest so I can begin working on the weekâs songs. If you need help finding a good song or think you wonât be able to post a song in time, please either let me or one of your teammates know and weâll do our best to help. If you donât, Iâll leave the choice of song in your teammatesâ hands, if you donât like the song choice then Iâm afraid thatâs tough luck.
Themes: After discussing it with my fellow Admins, itâs been decided that I along with fellow admins Edo (@edogawa-division) and Zephie (@minato-division03) will be choosing the themes for each teams to perform in. The themes will generally be only one word revoking around a certain feeling or emotion (quite similar to what Paradox Live does). Again, I have been talking with many other Admins and we will try to pick a theme thatâs easy for people to find songs for, but if you canât find a song that fits the theme or doesnât sound like your OC then you are absolutely free to discard the theme and pick a song that you like, once again, I know how hard it can be to find a song that fits your OCs voice range or general aesthetic.
Voting: Voting is scheduled to begin as soon as the Tournament Songs have been posted (which is why Iâll be trying my best to make sure they are all out by 2 P.M. (CST) if possible). At the moment, Iâm not sure which voting system Iâll use but Iâm sure by the time the tournament comes around, youâll all find out.
As stated, voting is scheduled to begin each Saturday evening and will last until Tuesday evening, which is when the winning teams will be announced along with the new themes and brackets. As soon as you have listened to the songs, be sure to head to the poll and vote for the team you think won.
IMPORTANT[2]: I feel like this should go without saying but please try and refrain from being biased when voting for the winning team, please donât vote for a team just because it has your OC in it, yes yes boring I know but letâs at least try to give everyone a fair chance here.
I believe that covers everything, if thereâs anything else, Iâll be sure to let everyone know.
So now, without further ado, allow me to show the tournament team bracket for the first round:
