Hello everyone! Welcome to the Rules thread!
As a MH event, it is obvious that every Forum Rule applies during this tournament as well, however there are some specific ones that we need to mention separately.
Tournament Information
There are 32 participants in the tournament and the tournament will happen in mainly two stages.
Stage 1 (Group Stage): The first stage is the Group Stage. There are 4 groups with 8 fighters each. The Group Stage is a battle royale. All characters are to fight each other in a free for all. The last 4 to remain standing progress to the next stage. Members will vote for 4 in each group to make a total of 16 who continue to the next stage.
Stage 2 (Knockout Stage): All battles following the Group Stage will be knockout battles. Participants will face off in 1 vs 1 matches where the winner progresses to the next round. Members will vote to decided winners in these battles. The tournament will continue in this manner until the Final Battle, at which point, the Winner of the fight is crowned the Winner of the Tournament. There will be 4 rounds in this stage: Best of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Finals.

Note: The characters that were chosen were done so on the basis of how much we know about them. Characters with too much mystery in terms of combat ability have not made the cut as the discussions would largely be centered around vague assumptions.
- Dimaria's Age Seal won't be allowed, that is, she can't stop time.
- Jacob's Transport won't be allowed. He cannot teleport characters to separate dimension. On the other hand, his stealth and all other abilities are still allowed.
- Natsu does not have Igneel's leftover Magic Power. However, Fire Dragon King Mode used without Igneel's Power is allowed.
- Slayers type Mages who have never shown advanced modes have no access to them (eg Dragon Force, Devil Force).
- Neinhart's Creation Magic can only bring back dead characters who have relations to his opponent.
- Fairy Law has no restriction on who it works on. Provided the spell is cast, it will be effective against the opponent, regardless of affiliation.
- In the case of sacrificial spells, as long as the sacrifice isn't the character, it is allowed, however, the sacrificed piece is considered unusable for the remainder of the tournament.
For example, Lucy is allowed to sacrifice her key(s) to summon the Celestial Spirit King but can no longer use the sacrificed key. - All characters are fighting to win at any and all cost. They therefore have no emotional or psychological barrier preventing them from fully utilizing all spells and abilities in their repertoire.
For all our sakes, follow these rules (and the forum rules in general) and we're sure we will all have a blast with this tournament!
We encourage everyone of you, our dedicated Fairy Tail members to be active and participate in the discussions. That's the only way to win votes and convince other members!
If there are any questions feel free to post in the Fairy Tail Tournament Discussion Thread, or if you prefer privacy you can always contact any of the Tournament Staffers:
