Season 1 - Challenge Thread

[Khell]

Challenges
-This thread serves to arrange challenges.
-Both teams must have the same amount of representatives for the challenge: 1vs1, 2vs2, 3vs3, etc.
-Challenges' specifics (Official with eventual bans, round-robins or tournament mode, 2/3, 3/5, etc.) are elected on the spot between participants. In case of a contingent, a mod can be requested to settle them, be it from the forum or #DDFFCasual.
-A mod from the forum or #DDFFCasual can serve as an organizer for challenges where counter-picking is necessary.

Restrictions
-Each team may only play a total of 5 challenges each week. This can be any combination of issued and accepted challenges, but it may not exceed 5.
-Teams may only play an individual team TWO times per week.
-Draw Battle challenges will not count towards overall challenges (you will retain the ability to play 5 challenges for the week), but DO count towards playing an individual team.
-Teams must participate in one challenge per week or will suffer a penalty for inactivity (-1 maximum challenges for the next week as well as a 10 point penalty).

Blind-picking rules

Spoiler:

Before matches occur, players from both teams should contact the TO responsible for their match. The TO will take you through the following procedure for stage striking and character selection (these are applicable to both 1v1 and larger battles):

Step 1: Both teams send the TO their character selection and order. (Example: Khell (Golbez), Kayarine (Firion)
Step 2: The TO will select a team and ask them to call a coin flip. The team that wins the coin flip will strike first.
Step 3: The winning team's leader strikes from the following list: {Order's Sanctuary, Pandaemonium Top Floor, Lunar Subterrane, Prima Vista, Crystal World}
Step 4: The second team leader strikes until one stage remains. (Team A strikes, Team B strikes, Team A, Team B)
Step 5: The TO will then repeat Step 3 & 4, switching the strike order using the same five stages.
Step 6: The TO will announce the stages and characters fighting in each battle to both teams, and they will proceed to start their battles.

After Set 1 is complete:

Step 1: The team who won the original coin flip switches their player positions. (Example: Kaya and Khell won the first coin toss, so they change order).
Step 2: Teams will proceed with standard counterpick procedure for the respective matches in the upcoming set. (Losing match 1 means picking the first match of the second set, etc.) The loser of match 1 chooses any stage for the first match of set 1. The winner of match 1 chooses and announces character. Only then does the loser of match 1 announces his/her character. Both players customize at will. Repeat for as many battles as exist for the set.
Step 3: Teams may proceed to start their battles.

After Set 2 is complete:

In the case that teams are tied 2-2, both teams will blindly select a player from their team to represent them in the tie-breaker.

Follow the procedure from Set 1 for a single battle, using the original 5 stages for striking again.

Counter-picking for singles

Spoiler:

Match 1: Only five stages will be available for choice and they will be chosen on a smash striking system. Both players must decide who gets to strike a stage out first. After this decision:
-Player A must choose to strike out between: Order's Sanctuary, Pandaemonium Top Floor, Lunar Subterrane, Prima Vista, Crystal World.*
-Player B chooses to strike out one of the four remaining stages.
-Player A strikes out another.
-Player B effectively chooses one of the two stages left to be the first battle arena.
-Both players pick their character and customize at will--a blind-pick can be requested if a dispute arises.

* - In the event that players would like to draft a different set of stages than the ones presented, they may do so as long as both sides agree.

Match 2: Loser of Match 1 chooses any stage. Winner of Match 1 chooses and announces character. Only then, Loser of Match 1 announces his/her character. Both players customize at will.

Match 3: Same procedures of Match 2 apply, based on Match 2 results.
