So this idea had sort of only started brewing in my head a while ago, but I thought that I should probably give it a shot, so, here goes nothing I suppose.

So for the setting of this tournament, it'd take place in the year 2076, considering that should be around the time that the actual Overwatch game takes place, being somewhere in the mid 2070s. The fights themselves would all take place in a single city, though everyone would be in a one on one situation, meaning that there wouldn't be any free for alls or duels.

As for the user characters themselves, they will be giving one primary weapon and...that's about it. This primary weapon can have multiple uses, like how Widowmaker's gun can turn from sniper rifle to assault rifle, but there are no secondaries, unless you're something like D.Va, who needs a pistol outside her mech suit.

A user character would also have two to three abilities, depending on how powerful these abilities are, and they all have to be somewhat related to the character concept. You will also be allowed an Ultimate, because what's an Overwatch tournament without an Ultimate? Once again, this ability can't be too ridiculously powerful, and has to mix well with the overall character concept and abilities.

Also, backstory for a character must be given so we can determine prior experience in combat or otherwise. Personality must be put down as well, otherwise these really aren't characters and they're just kind of cardboard cutouts. Just about anything goes on backstory, but if it becomes too outlandish (which would probably be defined by my terms) I'd have to shut you down. Of course, you can't get too outlandish when you have a hamster in the actual game.

As for how this tournament would be set up, I'd be using Challonge.com to make a bracket of about eight to ten people. Or just how many people we can get in here, preferably an even number, but if not I can make it work. We're going for a classic elimination style tournament here, where some will only get one match out of the whole tournament. You know, basic rules.

If this does get accepted I will be reserving one of the slots for myself, and a blog post where you make characters and put their profiles there would come shortly after, with the waiting period at most being a day or two.

Just wanted to post this here and see what others think. I can adjust things if need be, and I'd be more than happy to do so if this could work.
