🌖 kirby oc tournament 2024 💫

final confirmations + schedule adjustment!

hello again everyone, hope you are all well and excited for the tourney! we have an important update regarding our planned schedule.

due to the number of competitors (about three times as many as we predicted, nearly 150 individual participants!) we are taking a little extra time to get things sorted up front, and ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible during the event.

if you are a competitor and have not yet done so, please confirm your name, oc name, and intro post url on our participants sheet. if anything is incorrect, let us know ASAP. the deadline for this is may 9th, after which we cannot make changes!

🗓️ REVISED schedule of events 🗓️

competitor confirmation window: until may 9th brackets announced: may 10th voting begins: may 13th bracket length: 1 week next bracket announced: 1 week after polling ends total break length: 2 weeks after polling ends due to the size of the tournament, poll posts will be staggered over several days. each voting bracket will last One Week with public tumblr polls on the @kirbyoctournament blog. this is the longest they can be. there will be a revised 2 WEEKS between polls. one week after polls are closed, the next brackets will be announced, and after the second week the following polls will begin to go live. this extended break gives participants time to wind down, create additional propaganda (including their new opponent, if they wish), and gives us as hosts the time needed to make the number of polls. as the tournament progresses, this break length may reduce, as we'll have less polls to make! we will be sure to let you know!

we appreciate your patience with the new schedule, and apologize for the slight delay in start time. because all polls -now numbering over 70 for the first bracket- will be hand-made and double checked by only two people, we need some extra time to ensure there are no mistakes!

we are also being as lenient as we can to welcome several late-comer entries, as we don't want folks to miss out! if this is you, please be aware the firm and final deadline is 11:59pm CST on the 5th of may. we cannot accept any more entries after that point!
