January 2v2 stand offs submission phase

READ BEFORE POSTING In this new tournament style contest, users will face head to head in a 2v2 bracket system where their Stands face off throughout the month, until eventually only 1 team is left standing!

The winners are decided by the community themselves, through polling as to which Stand Users they think would win against the other! The winner will move onto the next round.

There will be 5 elements to consider as each battle will take place under these conditions. These conditions are Location, Time, Weather, Population and Awareness. These conditions are randomly generated and cannot be ignored, unless the Stand itself can change them naturally in their favor. Ignoring said conditions without the use of the Stand ability will result in a mod comment correcting the user. They are chosen at random every tournament.

Location:

Time:

Weather:

Population:

Awareness:

In the event of ties, mods will consider these conditions and pick which Stand would prevail.

In order to participate: You must have an existing Stand on the Reddit page, complete with ability, user and stats. Must be a legitimate Stand, so no "Joke" Stands. (In regards to the Potential Stat, any arguments surrounding this Stat will be monitored and must be cleared by a mod)

You must link the page of the Stand in the comment section below within the set days of the announcement. Any submission passed those days will not be considered. Post may not be an Art post, as these types of posts win through popularity rather than substance. Art posts can be modified to text posts, but cannot link to the Art post. Post cannot come from submissions to the weekly Stand contest of that time, to keep both fair.

Posts will be vetted by moderators for level of OP. If it is considered, it will be brought up for further evaluation. If found too OP, the creator will be notified to change their Stands.

The correlation between Stats and description of said stat will also be monitored to show both are consistent with one another.

Note not every Stand submission allowed in one instance qualifies it for the next, as different and changing opinions about its power or rule change may disqualify/bar/invalidate it for a new Standoffs.

One post per submission.

The rules go as follow: Every set of days a round of fights begins. Each Stand will face 2v2, though in the event of an uneven bracket, special rounds may be created to even it out. Once the polling for the Stands are created, the creators must comment as to why their Stands will defeat the other in the comment section. They must solely argue from their perspective, as well as mention the conditions above within the argument. No other comments can be made until at least one creator has stated their reasoning. The creators may return to edit their response once posted, but must redact other posts that followed the original logic and lead. The mods are not responsible for reminding creators to make the comments. Failure to make a strategy on how they will win will result in a disqualification.

They are not allowed to promote their Stand anywhere. They may only answer questions given by viewers about their Stands, Stats and users, or give more clarification as to why they would win.

If your Stand happens to win, you proceed to the next round where the process repeats again until only 1 team remains. Requiem/Heaven stands are banned for general overpowered nature.

Post Mordem stands are barred due to lack of users. (Subject to change in future tournaments)

Stands with sub-Stands are barred, as it may be unfair to fight more than one Stand. (Subject to change in future tournaments)

ACT stands are barred, as to not give so many abilities. No accommodation for ACT stands are allowed.

Users must be living, human users. In the case where a user is given but no details about them are shown whatsoever, the personality of Koiche Hirose will be the default setting, as he is known to be a reliable guy. (Subject to change in future tournaments).

Weapon carry is prohibited unless needed by the Stand, like Sex Pistols or Manhattan Transfer. Weapons can be picked up from the area.

Time based stands are barred, as they have become too confusing and overpowered. (Subject to change.)

The act of Stand Phasing and Stand Flying must now be an ability a Stand must possess to do. This was reached due to the odd uses this ability allows, as well as most stands not using the ability unless it fits with its other abilities, save a few moments within the series.

The winner of said tournament will be offered a new flair, which they may accept or not. It will contain the name of their winning Stand. They also have the privilege of actively choosing to set 1 of the 5 elements in any way they may like.
