<div class="floatleft">(http://i48.tinypic.com/1043rrt.jpg)</div><strong>"Welcome to the Dark Tournament!</strong>As we currently have more people willing to join up than create their own complete teams, I have lowered the count from sixteen teams to eight - but only for the moment. If we quickly fill all these slots, we can expand. Or I might just fill the rest of the slots with NPC's. We'll see how it goes from here on out. For the time being, however, you will find the current and up-to-date standings listed below as well as all the teams in the tournament. Please update your roster if your members are killed in one deliciously brutal way or another, otherwise incapacitated, or any other important notes that happen as the game develops.<br/><br/>Let's take a moment to go over the rules again; your team<strong>MUST</strong>begin with five fighters, though that number is sure to change as the days go on! Teams may assign an alternate, but that alternate may only fight if the committee has proof of the death of a member. So no sneaking in a sub just because you want to sleep in that day! Fight conditions, barring the final round, can be decided by the opposing teams! Best of five is traditional, so three victories wins it! Any skill or weapon is allowed! Don't be afraid to get out there and wild! I<strong>LOVE</strong>the action and the carnage, and so do our viewers! Aside from grisly dismemberment, you can lose if you are knocked out for ten seconds, or if you are out of the ring for ten seconds! In the event of total ring destruction, only KO's and deaths will count! All guests of the Dark Tournament stay in the luxurious Hotel Kubikukuri, a resort with five star service from top to bottom! Though no matter how much I ask they won't add in a pool! But that's okay! Hanging Neck Island has plenty of beaches to tan on! Between matches fighters are welcome to roam the island to train, relax, or do any number of underhanded things! Frankly I encourage you to keep all the violence in the ring where I can enjoy it, though. It's just better that way! Well, with that out of the way... get registering!"<br/><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>CURRENT TEAM STANDINGS</strong></span><br/>Team Genkou----<br/>l------<br/>Team Chu     ----        l<br/>l----- Mystery Championship Team<br/>Team Temple----         l<br/>l------<br/>Team Shinobi----
