Default Scheme Championship (Live)

Strictly for reference...

Structure:

The tournament will be 16(22 in the box) Line Battles IN the tournament brackets. Brackets will always close on the

32 Competitors (No invitational berths) - We'll go to a prelim system to get this tournament rolling asap.
Staff has the ability to deny entrance based on activity, past no-shows, etc.
The title will be Scheme Champion. Nothing more, nothing less.

Round 1- 3 syllables ~Posting Mar. 5th
Round 2- 3 syllables ~Posting Mar. 11th
Round 3- 4 syllables ~Posting Mar. 17th
Round 4- 5 syllables ~Posting Mar. 23
Semi-Finals- 5 syllables ~Posting Mar. 29th
Finals- 6 syllables ~Posting Apr. 4th

NOTES:
-I have 2 'odd number of syllable' rounds in place as a challenge
-I capped off the maximum at 6 syllables for sheer readability and insurance of clean battles through the end.
-The Competitors use what words they use to scheme with. The total number of syllables MUST match the round's required cap.


The Prizes
Scheme Champion Title
Ill Phenoms has provided an audio care package (as requested) -
On Stage Stands 7701B Tripod Boom Microphone Stand
Nady MPF-6 6-Inch Clamp On Microphone Pop Filter
Behringer C1U Condenser Microphone Cardioid
SoundKitz AE-F Reflection Filter

Specialty Prize
DeadPoetry.Biz might throw in a battle rap specialty prize (pending)

There will be no MC Items This Time

Here's the outlook:

I selected previous title holders/staff members first. They have responsibility to be online and will more than likely be in the tournament for the duration. NOTE: These are not invitational berths. If any of these jacketed spots no-show in the first round, they're suspended from the next text even without exception (as warned by RULE in the Crew Championship.

10 Title Holder/Staff spots (Solidified):
