Sounds like great fun!! 
I'd like fights to be at 50, but I understand the concern about HOs.
Sounds like a fun tournie I'm sure I could get 3 toons for 7 to pwn 
If you have HOs and you exempt they still buff two things . . . dont they?
I like the format though and although the fights will be quite time consuming everyone will be fighting all the time so it shouldnt be too bad.

Yup, so the rule doesn't actually make any difference.
And also, by then people will probably have IO builds as well.
But sounds pretty good to me, although alot of people won't like the 3 44+'s rule.

An interesting point. In all honesty the real reason for the 44+ rule was to encourage people into the tourney with slightly below 50 alts. After all 3 50's is a lot to ask for some people.
Maybe.
Although, upon reflection, most of teh uber skillz pvpers are likely to have 3 50's or more...
Anyway, thanks for the input guys...keep it coming.
Sounds like a tourney for the grinders or PLers.. :/
HF anyway.
Nimmer if you really think you can kill KS 70 odd times we really need to fight.... BRING IT PURPLE GUY!
and im in
Very nice idea. Cant wait to see it in action i just hope it dont get messed up with I9

Translated and posted on German boards. You´re welcome.
Some feedback from me concerning point 3 of your rules section:

3) The two players then fight, and the LOSING player then gets to choose there next toon SECOND. etc etc. Drawn matches mean the person who LOST the first dice roll gets to choose second the next match.
[/ QUOTE ]
You state that the loser of the first battle gets to chose his next toon second, but in your example you say that the loser is the only one allowed to change his toon at all (so there would not be much point in him choosing second). Could you please clarify this to avoid confusion about the rules?
Furthermore, the rule for draws seems to favour the one who lost the initial dice roll. The way it is now the loser of the dice roll would have an advantage in a series of draws which could prolong matches that would have been over otherwise.
I would change the rule, so that both players are allowed to change their toons after a draw and that the advantage of choosing second goes to the player who had the disadvantage in the drawn match. This way both players would take turns in choosing second in a series of draws (which would make long series of draws quite unlikely).
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.
not the biggest fan of 1v1s (mainly cos i suck at them ) but count me in anyway
I might actually join in this (especially if I can get a fourth character over 44 so I don't have to use my /mace tank ).

Hey Seri,
I understand the reason to keep the level cap at 44 but some ATs get important powers at lvl49, TK for defenders for instance.
Not that I would PvP with my defender but it's my third lvl50 hero .
Thinking that not everyone can have 3 toons suitable for PvP (like myself), I can only think of 2 options atm:
1) Keeping the level cap at 44, but reducing the number of toons from each player to 2. Then each fight between 2 players can be organised as 4-match mini tournament without rolling a dice.
2) Bringing 3 toons but no level cap, so we use them with their max. capacity. Oh and with dice rolling frenzy .

I think i can field 3 ok toons from my 50s should be fun count me in aswell
You can count on me to help run the behind the scenes aspects with ya Seri.
I wont be entering since my super team of over level 44's would have to consist of a claws/nin stalker(49), grav/ff troller(49) and rad/rad defender(50) fear my uber not quite fotm builds.
What happens in an event of a stale tie fight lets say tanker vs tanker.
Then you wait for one of them to die of something.

Boredom?
More than likely; boredom related deaths have risen around 3000% since the dawn of Tank V Tank PvP, the figures are staggering O.o

Finaly a 1v1 tournament, been waiting for somthing like this for a while now count me in

I'm in matey sounds fun I disagree that its an event for grinders and PL's i don't do either and i'll enter even if some of my toons ain't the best FOTM combo's.
I don't suppose there would be anything to stop someone with less than 3 toon's at 44+ entering you'd just have to except that you where putting your self at a disadvantage. Still don't mean you can't have fun though
A few idea's for sorting draw out are in the works details will follow soon.
OK, i plan to set up a single player pvp tourney to take place this summer, to allow people to show off their uber skillz in solo pvp.
Now, inherently, solo pvp has always had one fatal flaw: Too many fotm builds having too much of an advantage over other builds. Now to help address this, this is what I plan:
1) To enter players must have at least 3 level 44+ toons, heroes or villains.
2) When a match is allocated, each player must face off and roll a dice. The player receiving the highest dice roll gets to choose which AT they would like to start with SECOND.
3) The two players then fight, and the LOSING player then gets to choose there next toon SECOND. etc etc. Drawn matches mean the person who LOST the first dice roll gets to choose second the next match.
4) The first player to win THREE separate bouts is then deemed the winner.
For example.
Player 1: Andy_75
Toons entered: Purple Hazel (ill/rad), Nimmer (Elec/EN), Black Knight (BS/Reg)
Player 2: Knight Stalker
Toons entered: Subconcious (mind/storm), Knight Stalker (Sp/reg), Critical shock (elec/elec)
We roll the dice, and I win.
Knight stalker then has to choose first. He takes in Knight Stalker. As I won the roll, i now have the advantage, as i choose second, and I choose Purple Hazel.
The 10 MINUTE match is then played. After winning 76-0, I then have to remain on with the same toon. Knight stalker then gets to choose who he would like to face me with next. He chooses critical shock.
After a close battle, critical shock pips me at the post winning 2-1. So next match I get to choose etc.
Now details are only in the planning stages at the moment. I would like some SENSIBLE, CONSTRUCTIVE feedback if possible. Suggestions will be listened to!
Some points to consider:
- Should you be able to enter more than three toons, then the week before your match you must have posted which three you will play ( this would work by each player posting me their entries and me simultaneouly posting the match up on here: IMO this could be a fun and tactical way of doing it..)
- Should matches be played at 44? I believe so. Why? To negate hamio-s. Eeek! Why! Well this is about single player skill, not who can copy over to test and duplicate HO's. If this was to take place on live i would say allow hamis, but not sure about test - opinins please.
3) I would love this to be an international event. Could someone please translate this possibly and get some French/German feedback? thanks.
4) Is this format viable? is first to three too long?
5) Ideally i would love this to run as a league system, but i fear that may take far too long. A simple knockout may have to be the format.
Lots to consider. Any constructive feedback welcome.
