An unseen force calls to you. Glory, riches, valor…

The Singularity beckons.

In the wake of the violent war against the Children of Mortis, a fragile time of peace has taken hold. But the Brotherhood was not born to enjoy peace, conflict, and strife claim its heart. While each clan deals with its own issues, a growing sense of unease festers. Could the Council truly be content in not having the members stay honed for the next conflict?

No they could not.

The call has come. Fight, not for the Brotherhood, not for your clan, but for you. Renovations upon the great colosseum on Arx have been completed. Every member is now invited to shed blood and sweat. Embrace the pull of the singularity and fight to be crowned the Combat Center Champion.

This Championship will see every participant given the chance for three battles before the elimination process begins. In round one, all participants will be randomly paired with one another. Rounds two and three will see a “power-match” pairing with other participants having similar win/loss and scoring records. After these three rounds are completed the final bracket will be established.

All matches will take place in the Singularity [2024] Hall.

Note: In case we have an odd number of participants the last name left will receive a bye for round one. Byes in rounds two and three will be assigned randomly in the bottom seed. All competitors will participate in all three preliminary rounds.

All members are invited to sign up and participate.
