Introduction
Hello and welcome to Battle Royale, this tournament was created to not only test your battling abilities, but your wits and your ability to overcome all odds to win. I would like to thank Gouki and Earthworm first off for helping me sort this thing out.
Battle Royale is a movie and a Manga about 40 high school students who are taken to an island, given a bag containing food, water, and a randomly selected weapon. You the participants of this tournament and those teenagers have a common goal, your goal is to survive.

Rules
- IRC is REQUIRED! This is a 40 man free for all, the deadline is 2 weeks, rounds will not be established in this contest.
- If you are challenged by your opponent on the Battle Royale IRC channel, you must accept. Since this is a free for all, scouting is allowed, however there will be a 30 minute window from your last battle and your next challenge(when there is 2 days remaining, it will be limited to a 5 minute window.) This is there to avoid people scouting and automatically challenging another individual to gain the win.
- There is also a 5 minute prep time between the challenge issued and the start of the battle, this way you can make any last minute modifications to your team.
- Challenges must be issued on the Battle Royale channel and no where else, as to avoid dispute between people ignoring challenges.
- The format for challenging someone is BR Challenge: (insert users name here)
- Do NOT! join the Battle Royale IRC if you can not battle at that time. I can not stress this enough, if you go afk on the IRC and are challenged, you will be viewed as Match Dodging and will be given a strike. 3 strikes means you are eliminated.
- The 40 battlers accepted will be hand picked by Gouki, Earthworm, and myself. We are not only looking for battling ability, but excellent attitude, and the ability to be on often as well.
- Among the battlers of this tournament, there will also be a select few of people who will be enforcers, meaning they will enforce the rules of this tournament, and sort out issues if it looks like someone is match dodging. If you would like to be an enforcer, post here, they will also be chosen by Earthowrm, Gouki, and myself.
- There is a 2 week time limit, if there is not 1 survivor by that time limit then everyone will be eliminated and there will be no winner.
- And most importantly, there will be a 48 hour time window for getting at least 1 battle done, meaning I expect everyone to have a battle done in 2 days from the OP post. If you fail to do so in those 2 days, you risk being disqualified.
- There is no subs, if someone is inactive or can't participate, then you will just be eliminated. Do not waste my time, do not join if you think you cannot battle.
Standard OU rules apply!
Note: There will be a leaderboard for people who have gained eliminations in this event.
