Text Battle Rules

Post by Ambiguous Realm »

---Deadlines
-The deadline is usually decided by the battlers. For every day a battler is late for the deadline, a vote is added against him. For example, if the deadline has passed and you haven't posted your verse for 3 days then the score would be 3-0 against you and you will lose the battle.
-If voting for your battle stays open longer than 1 week it'll be closed with the winner being who ever is up in votes, if its a tie it'll be left open the next person to vote will decide the winner


---Battle Rules
These rules are always in effect unless stated
differently by the battlers.

-No feeding, flipping, biting or recycling.
-First to 5 votes wins, 3-0=K.O. (4-1=T.K.O.)
-Deadline is 48 hours after battle is set up.

---Battle Categories
These are the default categories.

-Punches
-Flow
-Personals
-Multis
-Enjoyment

---Topical Battle Categories
These are the default categories.

-Storytelling
-Flow
-Creativity
-Multis
-Wordplay

---Battlers

- For newbs, your first battle will not count if you lose, it will be considered a "Test Battle." However if you win, you will get the W, but every battle after that will count.

- ALL new battles must come with TWO LINKS pertaining to RECENT votes in other battles. Failure to do so will result in your battle being locked, if it remains locked, it will count as a DQ. ALSO - If you do not specify that someone under 50 votes cannot vote on your battle, then someone under fifty votes CAN vote on your battle.

---Title Holders

I. Title holder must defend his title at least once a month *

II. Title holder can put the title belt on the line at anytime or vacate the belt at anytime **

III. Only time titled holder is forced to put his title on the line is when a tourney is in progress or following the tourney ***

Details of each rule listed.[/align]

*The title holder must defend his title a minimum of at least once a month. If no member should challenge the current reigning champion within a months time-frame, the title holder just doesn't have to defend. (pretty simple...if there's no challenger, then there's no battle) Failure to defend at least once by the end of a months time results in being stripped of the title.

**If the current reigning champ has already defended his title at least once within his month's time frame, he's allowed to decline all other battles that challenge his belt for the remainder of the month, if he's chooses so. BUT...he can also choose to defend his title on any & every battle that he has. (so basically, the champion has to defend a minimum of once a month, and the maximum times he can defend are infinite)

***The only time the current reigning champion is forced to defend his title is if there's is a text tourny in progress. If the title holder should lose in one of the earlier rounds of the tourny, then the title is obviously vacant until a winner of the tournement emerges. This is only for text tourny's only!!! Any other type of tourny (topical tourny, etc. etc) is excluded. BUT, the winner of any other optional tourny other than text wins 1 free challenge to the title at anytime. The reigning champion cannot decline that challenge.
Failure for any champion to follow these rules can be stripped of his title by an Admin.


---Validity Examination
You may request a validity examination if you think a vote against you is either:
-Hating for no valid reason
-An attempt at payback for a disagreement online or offline
-An attempt at getting payback for you voting against them recently.

Your request for a validity check will be decided by the 3 admins that reply first on the issue. You do not get to choose who the 3 admins are. If an admin is the one being accused 3 other admins will decide on the issue. If the validity examination feels that the vote is unfair, it will be discarded. If the examination feels that the vote is fair it will be kept.
You can only request validity examination a limited amount of time and that depends on how busy admins are.


---Miscellaneous rules (with punishment)

-You are not allowed to ask a person to vote in your favor. (DQ)

-You are not allowed to post anything other than a verse, a vote ,a check or a validity examination request in a battle thread, also known as free posting. (warning, then DQ or suspension)

-You are not allowed to edit your battle verse after one hour of posting it.(DQ)

-You may not change name, your signature or avatar while having a battle open.(DQ)

-------------
These rules should be enforced by all admins and mods. Failing to do so will lead to consequences.
