Wheel of Time Cage Matches 2014

[Barid Bel Medar]

It's Wheel of Time cage match time again!

Some of you are familiar with the popular Suvudu cage matches, which pit famous sci-fi and fantasy characters against each other in bracketed tournaments. Our matches will be similar to Suvudu's, but they will be with Wheel of Time characters only.

Your hardworking Admins and DM Staff have chosen sixteen WoT characters (eight channelers and eight non-channelers) to fight each other in a bracketed tournament. We've got a bracket for the channelers and a bracket for the non-channelers. Each cage match includes impressive art and a write-up of how we think the fight might go. The actual results are determined via polls, in which all of you get to vote. Each poll opens on Sunday and closes on Friday, then the thread will be locked and a winner declared based on the poll results. You may discuss the ongoing matches in their relevant threads, and once those are locked, we'll make separate discussion threads for you to continue chatting about the matches from weeks past.

Here are our sixteen fighters:
 

Aludra

Deepe

Elayne

Elyas

Flinn

Graendal

Ingtar

Ituralde

Laras

Liandrin

Mishraile

Rahvin

Rhuarc

Sorilea

Suroth

Tylin

 

We will also be hosting a consolation match alongside the final match. The consolation match participants are not listed above--we want you to be pleasantly surprised by them!

Here is our official cage match schedule:

Week 1: (June 29th - July 5th) First bracket (just the eight channelers)

Week 2: (July 6th - 12th) First bracket (just the eight non-channelers)

Week 3: (July 13th - 19th) Second bracket

Week 4: (July 20th - 26th) Third bracket

Week 5: (July 27th - August 2nd) Final bracket and consolation fight

We are offering another batch of special "Team" siggies for anyone who wants to show support for the character they think will win.  Also, for those who want to participate, we will be collecting predictions on all the fights.  Each correct guess will win you points, and the person with the most points at the end of the tournament will receive an awesome prize siggy!
