@Mabzino , Ty for the reminder. Changed the post; Shields will be allowed in the tournament.

Tournament time will stay the same ( Saturday ). Remember to bring full set of iron armor, iron sword, 1 bow, 16 arrows, Iron shield (feel free to decorate with banner), and steak / magic steak (so everyone has the same saturation) during the event. Due to this, iron blocks have also been added as a prize.

Losers of M13 and M14 will compete for 3rd place ( as suggested by Mabzino ), for 10 iron blocks.

Would adjusting the day to Friday, May 6th help? (Please respond soon)

Event will start 5:00 PM Pacific time.

Final time for the tournament is Saturday, May 7th at 7:00 PM Central Time.

1st Place Reward:
6 diamond blocks,
9 Iron Blocks,

Final time may be changed to adjust for the Europeans, and will be posted on the day or the day after the deadline.

For those that are new to the server and can't afford the entry fee, Zabolca has offered to pay for up to 5 new players to enter the tournament!

Many thanks to Zabolca for sponsoring this event!

Edited the post; specific times should be there now. Tournament will most likely be a 1v1, double elimination. I will post the bracket once the deadline arrives. REMINDER THAT THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS MAY 2nd, 3 DAYS FROM NOW!

yes please :) I'll let you know when to do so, once the arena is finished. Could you also help make the arena indestructible? ( At least during the time of the event). Also, staff, feel free to join as well :)

FINAL INFO FOR THE TOURNAMENT HAS BEEN POSTED - SCROLL DOWN

Hey all! Think you're good at PVP? Have too much loot to spare and just want to have some fun? Hosting a PVP Tournament 2 weeks from now, read below for full info.

==========================================================================================================

PRIZES AND PICTURES OF ARENA TO BE POSTED SOON

DEADLINE TO ENTER MAY 2ND!!! (FINALIZED INFORMATION TO BE POSTED THEN PROBABLY)

WHEN: Saturday May 7th, 8:00 PM Central Time

WHERE: In a custom designed arena, participants will be TP-ed to during time of event. I will post pictures SOON.

WHO: Anyone, staff, no staff, if you want in, just post a reply on this thread, and give entry fee to edward638 during some time he is on (read below for details)

WHAT: To help add some excitement / promote CraftyMynes as a server, I've decided to host a PVP tournament a week from now (lots of time to plan ahead). It will be an FFA, 1v1 or 2v2 tournament (Double elimination) based on how many people would like to join. If not FFA, I will make a randomized bracket and post. In order to participate, YOU MUST PAY AN ENTRY FEE OF 9 DIAMONDS (OR 1 DIAMOND BLOCK). I will not steal your diamonds, otherwise I would break the "No scamming" rule. This entry fee will help contribute to prizes, which will be given to 1st place and 2nd place winners (prizes will come in diamonds, numbers varying depending on how many people participate, as well as a custom prize from me). Participants in the tournament are required to bring, and only bring, FULL SET OF IRON ARMOR, MAGIC STEAK, 1 IRON SWORD, 1 BOW, 16 ARROWS, AND NO-ENCHANTS ON ANY OF THE GEAR ABOVE. I will let you know who fights who during what times, and there will be a spectating area for the arena as well.

Cheating (Bringing other gear, destroying the arena, killing everyone else outside the tournament, etc.) based on the severity will result in disqualification from the tournament, keeping your diamonds, banned from all future tournaments, and having no chance at winning any prizes... and potentially other punishments...

Depending on how many people reply, I will post pictures of the arena and post the prizes (in diamonds and custom prizes from me) for the tournament winners. (Expect prizes to be pretty big)

NOTE TO STAFF: Looking for Admins willing to supervise the tournament! Help make it so cheaters don't cheat, etc. If admins would not be willing to do this, and go completely based off of being vanilla (this is just for fun and to help promote Craftymynes :D), that's ok, as I will be monitoring the event with some friends.

As of now, 3 people (including me) are in the tournament. If you plan to participate or have any questions, feel free to post on this thread letting me know or message me ingame. The more people who participate, the bigger the prizes :)
