Tournament of Thear: Quest for the Devouring Blade is hereby closed until June 2010 of next year. Thank you all who have promoted, submitted, chatted, watched, and/or joined the staff for this tournament.

Next year there will be more Pieces of reference art for the World of Thear a more neutral template that wont clash with characters. And hopefully a larger following. Please support or join the OCT's in our affiliate list if you like.

Until next year, the Devouring Blade shall be laid to rest until it stirs and awakens once more.

Alright the new deadline for auditions is Saturday October 10th 11:59 PM (PST). that means you have a month from now to get your stories and characters done, and also we only need a minimum of 5 more contestants before we can start, this will of course be after cutting out the first round.

So what are you waiting for! Get those entries in! Remember even if you are beaten in the first or second round there is a chance of your character(s) returning for the semi finals!



P.S. This is the one and only extension for auditions. If we don't have enough contestants to meet the minimum we will have to council the tournaments until June of next year.

ATTENTION ALL COMPETITORS! Due to a lack of insight from your tournament host the auditions deadline will be extended to an unknown date as of now(expect it to be a friday late September though). I apologize to those who have been working frantically these past few weeks in hopes of finishing your stories by this friday.

Also please spread the word about this tournament and thanks to those who have already done so.
