Each player may only enter one lion in this tournament. Exception below.
The current Sky Champion may enter and not count against the player's limit. Since they already have edits, however, they are exempt from prize qualification (outside of continuing a reign as Champ)
Adults and Adolescents may participate. It is voluntary.
Each clan may 'enter' in as many of their members as they want. We are always hoping for a minimum of 2 per clan, but there are no penalties if not.
You will need to sign up in advance! A bracket will be made, and everyone will be randomized onto it.
Tournament Rules
You will have one week to do your battle.
Incomplete RPs count
Many factors will be considered when picking a winner in an incomplete RP. Post and hit count may matter, or maybe just whoever posted last. If an RP gets no reply at all by the deadline, the player who started the RP wins automatically.
Winners should post links to the battle RPs here!
How to Duel
Intro posts - RNG 1-6, highest roll goes first. Re-roll for ties. Duel! - RNG 1-3 (1 is a miss, 2-3 is a hit) Final posts - No RNG, wrap up fight/RP
This should give each partner 5 posts in the RP, enough to count as a full regular RP (word count permitting). Add posts as necessary to reach the minimum, if desired!
First participant to 3 hits wins. This means all fights will now end on a hit!

Sky Ceremony Prizes
Prizes this year will be different...
Sky Champion
The Sky Champion will receive a trophy as proof of their strength (modeled here by past winner Yamini). The feathers, paint, thread and fur are all customized to the winner, though they only get to wear it for the year.
Second & Third Place
The second and third place winners will also receive moderate face and mane edits but aren't ICly presented with anything at the finale of this ceremony.
Everybody Else
This year, every lion who wins at least one duel will receive edits as long as their RPs are finished.
Since both Safaia and Ecavi are now approved for edits within the shop, we are pleased to offer this as additional incentive to participate and finish your RPs!
The amount of edits you receive will depend on the number of duels you win (and how many of them are completed RPs)! For example, a lion who wins in Round 1 only (and finishes that RP) may request simple expression edits OR simple items. More details will be outlined as we get into the tournament and start figuring out who is going to get edits!
Safaia will handle the Sky Champion and Second & Third Place edits. Ecavi will be the one primarily responsible for everybody else, but Safaia may help out depending on workload, interest and time.
Overview
This means half of all participants will be getting edits!
Depending on the group size, something may be worked out for our poor group of losers. If you lose, please be a good sport and help your partner finish their RP!
You will have until the the end of the Festival to get the RPs filled in, but don't forget the weekly deadline for moving on in the tournament!
Incomplete RPs and any participants who get jumped ahead a round or two will be judged individually. There won't be so many entrants that this should be a problem - focus on having fun and RPing!
Amaris would like to sign up for the Earth Clan 
He was just approved so I don't have his cert yet. But Thutmose would like to join in! Wolf clan represent!
