A Heroic Quest Inspired Custom Martial Arts Tournament


This is an invitation to the best dungeon fighters around the world to prove that they are the best. Create an original Hero or Monster/Baddie Heroic Quest inspired character custom figure to enter into the tournament. Only the best fighter will succeed in defeating all before them to become champion in this ye olde no holds barred battle royale martial arts tournament.

Rules
1.Your original custom fighter must be 1:18 scale (3 ¾”-4”). You may use whatever parts that you want (i.e., G.I. Joe, Star Wars, Build’N’Brawl, Custom Cast, Marvel Universe, O-ring, no-ring, etc.).
2.You may only enter 1 original custom fighter.
3.You may include any hand-to-hand weapons. Fire arms, explosives (lethal or non lethal), or lasers and the like will not permitted in the Arena. Throwing weapons (knives, daggers, shuriken, axes, etc.) and projectile weapons such as bows, crossbows, etc will be allowed. Magic users are also welcome to enter as long as you can show their magic powers (flames, ice blasts, lightning, etc.).
4.You will have 6 weeks to complete your custom fighter.
5.Your custom fighter must be created exclusively for this contest and may not have been posted anywhere else before. This includes WIP photos.
6.You must enter your custom fighter in person at the Fighting 1:18 East Coast Custom Convention (Radisson Hotel Harrisburg, PA) by noon local time October 5th. You do not need to be a member of The Fighting 1:18 to enter. Anyone in attendance is encouraged to enter the tournament.

Returning competitors
If you entered a fighter in any of the previous Kumite Tournaments (Kumite, Kumite II, Slayer Kumite, JC Kumite), you may enter an updated version of your fighter in addition to or instead of an original fighter. Your fighter must show signs of change (i.e. new outfit, scars/battle damage, new skills and weapons, etc.), include an updated bio/background, and fit into the Heroic Quest Denizens of the Dungeon theme. The same rules (see above) apply to the returning competitors as the new fighters. For example, if you have entered into all 4 of the previous tournaments, you are eligible to enter up to 5 fighters. 4 fighters will be updates and the 5th fighter will be a new and original creation.

Submissions
Once you have completed your custom fighter figure, fill out the official entry form and bring your custom entry to the Kumite Live table. All custom fighter entries must be received by noon October 5th. Late entries will not be accepted. No exceptions.

Fighter evaluations
Customizers who enter will decide the Champion, Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up, and 3rd Runner-Up. If you enter a custom into the contest, you will be expected to participate in fighter evaluations. Entrants who fail to turn in their evaluations will be eliminated from the tournament.

Customizers will be given 1 hour to evaluate all of the fighters and pick their top 5. You may not choose your own custom. Take into consideration the following when choosing your top 5:
•Originality
•Parts
•Paint
•Sculpting
•Articulation
•Accessories
•Overall Presentation

More detailed instructions will be given at the time of evaluations.

At the end of the tournament, everyone that correctly ‘bets’ on the fighter who becomes the Kumite Champion will have their names entered into a drawing. The winner of the drawing will receive whatever figure is left over from the tournament winner’s selections. Only 1 ‘bet’ per attendee.
