All rules that are applied in the league will also be enforced for regulating the tournament. If you're not familiar with the rules of the RSTL, please read them HERE!:
New Rules / Changes

The only difference will be that in this tournament, your opponent will get to pick your topic for you. Topics must be picked and posted within the match thread within 1 day. If it's not posted, the opponent of the person that didn't pick a topic in time will get to choose his/her own topic.

One more additional rule and this one is crucial so you all need to be aware of this. If you do not vote, you will not advance in the tournament at all. I don't care how many votes you're winning by, you will need to vote to advance on 4 matches weekly. When the league re-opens, these 4 matches will include voting on league matches. And in the elite 8 before the league reopens, there will be only 3 matches to vote on. That will be the only exception, but all 3 matches will require your vote. Voting matches a tie will not be permitted and won't count as a vote.

Topics will be up Tuesday 12am PST every week and topical choices are due Wednesday 12am PST and verses are due Sunday 12am PST, 3am EST, 8am Greenwich with votes due Tuesday 12 am PST, 3am EST, 8am Greenwich

Also, there will be no recycling allowed. Nothing you've ever posted anywhere online will be allowed. The mods will be checking verses for authenticity with online search engines.

This is a match by match tournament so there will probably be no show wins and losses.

Let him who desires peace prepare for war
Let the man who boasts of war prepare the wall
Then let those thousands who fall
Find peace in answering war’s call…

A deep trench
Hidden behind a maze of fence
Barbed wire on sharp piers aimed to cleanse
Ditches dug in a web of survival
Hollow pits and mines designed to stop ones rival
Scattered remains of a small town
Brought down by mortar
And now it only was home to man’s slaughter
Death is War’s daughter
There is no one without the other
With such profound thoughts I was sounding like my mother
My fellow brother beside me
Turned a curious eye
Almost furious at my smile in such un-humorous times
I felt no need to reply, to me it was clear
Humour is a natural reaction when overcome by fear
A worried man would splutter a joke
Then curse himself for devoting
Those few seconds to anything else but hope…
Because some cannot cope
Its that fear of death
One man sits aside me, eyes glazed and drawing icy breaths
Grips the cross on his chest
As he drops to his knee’s
Digging his fingers to the dirt until his nails begin to bleed
A need to never leave what he’s left behind
A family kind, wife and children all praying he’s alive
Most the men are in the same state
Swearing if they live
They will turn a new page, create a clean slate
I cant help but smile
They’re in a healthy denial
We all signed for death when we joined the rank and file
I barely raise my head to the Sergeants voice
Calling ‘us his boys’
And how our country loves us for our valiant choice
Fuck off was it a choice…
It was either join the rows and hold metal
Or be labelled a coward and wear the white rose petal
I stare at men I call my friends
Who stand with pale faces, glazed gazes as they face their end
Ladders are placed
On damaged embracements
Panic stricken faces cast hateful glares
Towards the officers placements
Mutters of ‘bastards’ and ‘cunt’
Dull thud of shells impacting on mud
As time speeds up, heart beats race
Not a single muscle makes a twitch on my face
Im calm, through the whistles and alarms
Warning us we must run with our brother in arms

Right foot on the first step…

I gasp and catch my breath….

Must face the bullets, I am a soldier
And Im Over the edge…

Dead………

Courage is fear that has said its prayers
Yet is still hidden under self doubting layers
