Welcome, users.

The first TRT tournament has concluded 2 years ago without an established winner. I am here to announce that The Round Table Tournaments have officially returned and we now begin the second series of this new chapter.

As tournament themes and tropes have been overdone, today we do something new. The likes of which DART has never seen before. 
Rather than this competition being based on debates. The roles have now reversed. 

This tournament will be based on competition through voting. Your votes will be judged on the following criteria.:
  • Length.
  • Detail. (Information from your analysis to prove that you read the debate.)
  • Justification. (Your explanation for why you voted for a particular contender, and how you scored points.)
Now. There are five slots available. If you wish to enter, type /in:

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 
5. 

There will be a total of four rounds. For each round, all voters must only vote on three debates at a time, and all voters will be assigned to the same three debates. If a voter fails to vote on a debate after the voting period has concluded that voter may fall behind on a few points. 
If you are registering as a voter, you are encouraged to write suggestions for debate resolutions you want to see debated
Include as much detail for the rules and bop as you can. (Optional, not required.)

If your resolution is approved, it shall become 1 of the 3 debates for Round #1. 
Users who debate the resolution will be chosen randomly, but they are required to put (TRT) in the title of the debate for clarification. The voting period for debates will have a max time of two weeks. The max time for arguments is 3 days. 
Debates will be rated.

(Anyone who participates in this tournament cannot participate as a debater.)

I'm /in. How are the competitors going to be chosen? Are you going to pick a name out of a hat, or pick who you think would be best to compete?

Since you are the first person to join the Tournament, you are a competitor.

If you mean by who I am choosing to debate the topics, the answer is that the participants who host the debates will be randomized.
Worst case scenario is no one wishes to debate those resolutions, so I will step in in that case and debate whiteflame or anyone else on the chosen resolution.

Then when the debate is finished, you and the other competitors will compete by voting on the debate.

Do you have certain resolutions you would like to see debated?

I dont vote anymore. Debating is actually much easier than voting.

Depending on when this gets off the ground... A tentative /in. I'm going to be busy this summer, so there's no guarantee.

/in if I get promised a debate.

/out if I am not guaranteed to get a high quality rated debate with guaranteed 4 voters on it.

You need a member to complete the 5. I think it is fair.

Welcome, participants, to the TRT Tournament Second Edition. The tournament has now officially begun.

I'll make an additional thread within the next 48 hours to begin Round 1.

There is no motive to be 'best voter in Sir Lancelot's opinion'. It does not add up to me.

We should also be debaters.

That's the plan.

I've had some time to think on this and I decided against my original idea of not having debates. You and everyone will have some flexibility to decide on your debate topics for Round 1.
