BASIC TOURNAMENT RULES

RULES:
- Fully Edited Intros are allowed
- The manipulation itself must be unedited!
- You must show your face in the video at least once.
- The Superhandz.com and Handlordz.com URLs must be in your video at the end. No other URL's are allowed.
- You "CAN" credit inspiration when applicable - however it is not necessary.
- You should NOT use the credits or any part of your videos to promote other websites or those that actively oppose our websites. If you are unsure of what is and what is not acceptable, feel free to send your video/move in question to myself at: handlordz@msn.com and I'd be happy to let you know before it's officially submitted. The best practice is to try and use as much creativity as possible, and that will yield best results everytime. We will look at violated videos on a case by case basis and make determinations as we go.
- You can NOT speed up or cheat in your videos! We've had this happen more than once... if your video is suspicious, we'll request the actual DV tape. Once reviewed, we'll make a determination and let you know. Cheaters will be banned immediately and booted from the tournament! This includes stealing/calling other people's moves your own such as shitcal did last tourney.
- You will post your video link (prefererably youtube or putfile) on the forums the day it's due. If you are not going to be around, you may post your video early and send only me the link and I'll post it on the due date. Non submitters will be dropped from the tourney al-together.


DOUBLE ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT
This is a double elim tourney. Meaning that there are 2 brackets. A winnerz bracket, and a loserz bracket. After 1 loss, you will drop down to the losers bracket for another battle. After you lose any battle in the losers bracket, you are out of the tourney. In short, you have to lose 2 times to be completely out of the tourney.


JUDGING CRITERIA
All videos in this tourney will be judged by our judging pannel that include myself, Jerry Cestkowski, and members of Ulmen.

We will judge all videos by a point system using the following:

Creativity - how creative you are (not just moves but overall)
Routining - how your uncut routine flows
Difficulty - what the difficulty level was
Cool Factor - and overall coolness of the video
Technique - Technique is the difference between good moves and crappy moves, moves that are properly executed and those that aren't.

HUGE TIPS!
Handlordz is known for their original moves and style, so our tournaments are designed to push you limits. If you want to win, you'll have to learn to be very creative. A quick note - Kutkiddies don't last very long here.. so you may want to stay away from the endless sybil variations and 2 handed cuts. Limiting yourself to crotch-cuts doesn't make you an XCMer.... to be a pro, you need to be very well versed in many categories and it is our goal to assit all of you to opening up your minds and helping you become a pro. So be creative, take risks, and above all else, HAVE FUN!

MUSIC
You are free to use any music you'd like, to include any of my music from any of my DVDs/music CD etc...

MOVE RESTRICTIONS
- Please do not use fire during this tournament.
- Please do not show the formation of the double arm spread if you use it... do it as you turn around if needed.
- You can use any of my moves including Heaven Display/Cradle to Grave if you like... I have no personal move restrictions with the exception of my motions/claw concepts. If you don't own motions or an illegal pirated video, then don't worry about it...lol..
- you may not use other objects unless the particular challenge allows it.

VIOLATORS OF RULES
We will look at each violation and determine the appropriate action which could be from a simple warning/we do nothing, to docking a few points, to removal from the tourney, all the way to being banned from our websites depending on the severity of your infractions.
