Upcoming Hutt Tournament
Hello, SWRP! We are here to announce the first major sitewide event of the new timeline! In the next couple of days, the Hutt Cartel is going to throw a PvP tournament, sponsored by Supreme Mogul Gulla Hestilic Ujalli! Please see below for the initial details on this exciting event:
Participation
See below for sign-up information. Hutt Cartel-aligned characters or characters sponsored by a member of the Hutt Cartel may enter the tournament. Ultimately, eight (8) contestants will be selected to fight in the tournament. Everyone who signs up will be dropped into a random name selector app and chosen at random, to assure maximum fairness. However, even if you are not selected to fight, there are other ways to participate in this event.
We fully encourage everyone who wants to have a hand in the event to post Open threads throughout its duration. These threads could be set in the audience, they could be set inside the colosseum, they could be about spectating the event or gambling (i.e., placing bets on the fights); you could have threads set around the event's location while the event is going on. The point is, everyone is welcome to participate, even if they are not fighting.
However, it should be noted that events in these peripheral Open threads should not interfere with the tournament itself. That means no bombing the tournament people, or plots with similar intent. You can have your bar fights and scuffles—this is the Hutts after all—but let's try to avoid blowing up the event.
Setting & Rewards
The event will be set within a colosseum on Nar Shaddaa. A unique arena will be prepared for participants. The arena will feature changing environments (i.e., rocky terrain, foresty terrain, watery terrain, etc.) which will be randomly selected before the start of each match. In addition, each competitor's load out will be similarly selected at random before the start of each match. This assures maximum randomization and provides both excitement and surprise in each match, for both participants and spectators. More details on this feature will be announced once we are ready to get the tournament underway.
As with any tournament, the winner of the brawl will be granted a reward equal to the gravity of their success. The tournament champion will see their reputation increase across the galaxy and will be granted a piece of advanced tech. More details on this will also come with the beginning of the tournament.

As a reminder, please keep all questions related to this announcement, such as clarification on anything mentioned here. In some of the other announcements, we're seeing a lot of tangents and derailments occurring and we would like to keep things on topic. Please thoroughly read the responses others have made before asking a question, to see if your question has already been answered. Thanks!
