Officially announcing the Lord of the Board tournament!
It's been getting teased long enough, so it's time to start actually planning for it.
Each Thread will be permitted to submit one representative.
Submissions can be instructions to create a wrestler in 2k22, or an upload to 2k22 with the proper tags.
Representatives must:
>Be male. Submissions of Female CAWs will be rejected.>All stats are 20 under their maximum by default. You may increase up to 4 stats of your choice to maximum in exchange for reducing the same number of stats by 20 each.>Custom personality sliders>Finishers and Signature moves must be custom-selected in the moveset creator. It is preferable if the entire moveset is customized, but this is not mandatory.>Payback can be customized. (Resiliency is default)>Customized name, location of origin, and entrance (No "FROM NEW YORK, THE SUPERSTAR" will be accepted)>A unique, customized appearance.>The name of the thread they are meant to represent somewhere in the description, name, or social media handle of the wrestlerIf you are submitting instructions for somebody to create a wrestler on your behalf, please also include:
>The weight class (Cruiserweight, Light Heavyweight, Heavyweight, or Super Heavyweight)>The Wrestler Style (Technician, Striker, High-Flyer, Powerhouse)Optional Things that can be included with submissions:
>Entrance music (every entrant will have entrance music, but it will be picked for you if not included; keep in mind that entrance/victory music are the same music. You only get one track.)>An image of what the wrestler should look like (especially important if instructing somebody else to recreate something you made in a cracked version of 2k22)>A list of threads (no more than 5) that you would be willing to tag with, listed in order of priority. If you and one of those threads are mutually interested in forming a tag team, If enough teams are formed this way, tag team events will be added to the match card.>Do I need my thread's permission to submit a wrestler on their behalf?It is preferred that the thread itself be into the idea of having a representatitve and contribute in some way to its representation, as opposed to just one guy doing everything of their own volition, but at this time we are not requiring you to obtain recorded Proof of Interest like /vt/ League does. We do, however, reserve the right to call you a faggot and reject your submission if it's clear you're trying to be a dickhead or falseflagging.
>I don't know how any of the stats work.You can use this to reference how the important stuff works:
https://rentry.org/z7wuzA list of stats will be provided at a later date, closer to when submissions open.
>Do I need to own WWE 2k22 to participate?No. You can make a wrestler's appearance in a cracked version of the game, then include those images in your submission. However, cracked versions of the game cannot upload wrestlers themselves. If you intend to make a wrestler to upload, you'll need a legal copy.
>What match types should I plan for?Match Types will depend on number of entrants and interest. It is adviseable that you plan around the common match types (One Pinfall/Submission; Tables; Battle Royale/Royal Rumble; Elimination Chamber; First Blood; Tag matches if you have that as an interested party). Other match types may be used.
>What format will the tournament be in? 1v1s all the way down?Depends on the number of entrants. The plan is to use larger group match types to thin down the crowd, then use progressively smaller match groupings until we can go to 1v1s for the rest of the tournament, culminating in one thread winning the Lord of the Board belt. If there are enough entrants, a Royal Rumble will be used to determine seeding, then the event will progress from there.
>Where will it be streamed? Will it be live or prerecorded? Can I submit music? Will there be commentators, or will it be like most vtuber wrestling streams, and just be music playing over the matches?There will be a poll about these things in the near future. Keep an eye out.
>I want to help make wrestlers for threads that can't make one themselves. How can I get in touch?That will be in the poll as well. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Please be advised that these are rules in progress, and submissions are not yet open. Submissions will open AFTER VTL4 has concluded. This is a post setting the groundwork and allowing people to plan ahead if they so wish. This event is expected to take place sometime in May, possibly early June, as there will likely be a lot of first-time organizational challenges.
