All right!  Time to get this party started... new IC post is up, detailing the first set of matches.

- Fights will take place in separate threads, to be created when contestants are ready.  Either fighter can start the thread, or I can begin them if needs be.  Fight threads should contain "Black Mountain Tournament" or something similar in the title.

- All arenas listed in the opening post of the OOC are available.  Fighters may agree on an arena between them, or I can randomly assign them one to each battle.  

- All fight threads must be started within a week.

- February 10th is the end of round 1.  Any fights not finished by then will be judged as is.

I'll do my best to answer any other questions you have!  Hope you all have fun, and write some tense and epic fights :)
