Official Rules & Prizes​

Tournament Overview:​

How does this work?
I will randomly generate a bracket to use for the remainder of the contest. After the bracket is generated, the tournament will start! All battles will be exactly seven days long. In the case of a tie, a panel of unidentified staff members (who will have absolutely no connection to either of the forums or websites) will vote to determine the winner. The more battles you win, the better your prizes will become!

What are the prizes?
Prizes are awarded accordingly to your placement, and how far your website goes into this tournament.

What are the rules in this tournament?

• Members do not need to give a reason why they voted a particular way, nor do they need to publicly declare who they voted for. Both of these are optional, at voter's discretion.
• You MAY ask members of your community to vote for you; in fact, this is encouraged.
• You may NOT create multiple accounts or pay another individual to create multiple accounts for you. If you or your members create duplicate accounts to vote in SBM, they will face a disqualification from the tournament and further moderation action.
• All members MUST have five (5) posts before voting in a poll. If your website continuously refers members here who do not follow our Board-Wide Guidelines, your forum will risk disqualification from the tournament.
