Lord of the Board 4 - Apocalypse Automata

Sign-ups for the fourth Lord of the Board tournament are now OPEN.
Additionally, we are accepting sign-ups for Lord of the Board Tag Force, a Tag event that will be held in July.
You can find the form to sign up HERE: https://forms.gle/2DwRX13acTLg2m4r6

This thread will only be made once, to announce the opening of entries. After this thread closes, future questions and the sign-up form can be found in /hfz/.

>What is this?
A board-wide wrestling tournament, hosted by /hfz/ in WWE 2k24.
>Who can enter?
Any thread can sign up.
>What is required to sign up?
Your thread must be active on /vt/ in the 3 months preceeding signups opening, and must have at least 10 threads and 1550 archived posts total, before this post. This does NOT require those threads to have reached bump limit, but this is the equivalent of 5 threads at bump limit.
Additionally, your thread's manager is REQUIRED to provide VALID contact info of some kind on the form. We will not verify your entry until we confirm the contact info is valid and has an actual person on the other end. You may use a burner account, so long as you can respond to messages we need to send you within 24~48 hours. Any information the manager provides will be kept completely private.
>Will previous LotB entrants be given priority?
No entrants will be given priority for entry slots. They are first-come-first-served.
>We entered a previous Lord of the Board event, and we want to re-use the same rep.
If you entered Lord of the Board 3, you can re-use that rep. If you entered Lord of the Board 1 or 2, you cannot re-use your rep, and will need to fill out the form in full.
>If I manage the entrant for /mythread/, what will I be expected to do?
You will need to fill out a form detailing your thread's representative wrestler, including appearance, general fighting style, entrance music, and graphic sources. You do not need to convert any of these things yourself, just provide assets. If something you give us doesn't work, we'll contact you. If you ghost us for 72 hours, we'll notify your thread and give the chance for somebody else to step up. If nobody does, /yourthread/ is out and somebody else will get the slot (if appliciable). However, most of the time it's not a big deal and you're mostly hands-off once the form's in, other than confirming details here and there.
>What is the format for the tournament?
To be announced, based on how many entries we get.
>Will there be exhibitions?
Yes. We'll have inter-thread grudge matches, theme matches, and whatever lore shit gets cooked up. Threads that do not qualify for the main tournament will also be permitted to participate in exhibition matches as well.
>Can I bring /mythread/'s beef (in kayfabe) to Lord of the Board?
We expect you to.
>Do I need to own WWE 2k24 to participate?
No. If you do not wish to create your thread's rep yourself, you can request that it be made for you.
>When will entries close?
The form will close in a little under 3 weeks, on July 6th @ Midnight ET.

>When will the event take place?
The Tag Force Event is currently expected to take place in mid/late July, as a separate event using the same sign-up sheet.
We currently expect to host the Lord of the Board main event in early/mid August.

>Will there be commentary?
There is a signup form for those interested in commentary HERE: https://forms.gle/iPUYVSybwV3td5Bm7
