The Video Game Arena

The Video Game Arena is a monthly competition held primarily in popular locations throughout the video game world. Each season features the most popular video game characters fighting each other for the coveted Video Game Arena Crown. The VG Arena's brackets are made on Challonge. Currently, the sixth season is in the process of choosing the cast.
==Format==
The VG Arena typically formats in a round ruin-style tournament, but in seasons 1 and 2, the style that were used differed (Swiss for season 1 and Double elimination for season 2). Each round, two competitors face-off against each other for a max of 20 points. Whomever gets the most points in their match-up gain their points. Every five rounds, the number of points that a character can obtain increases by 5. Tournaments run for 15 rounds, which allows every competitor to battle. After the final round, the total number of points are tallied and whoever has the most points wins the crown. Then, the contestants ranked from 1st to 8th advance to the next season. As long as you obtain enough points to qualify in the top 8, you will keep advancing to the next season. To date, there have not been back-to-back or double champions.
