The Second TownsCraft PVP tournament

== The creation of the tournament ==
TownsCraft player Harvels, an avid enjoyer of Player v. Player combat in Minecraft had the idea to create a tournament for TownsCraft in January of 2021- and eventually got enough support to start the project from other players and staff. While the tournament was not staff-managed, it was backed by the staff team. A bracket with 18 players was created, and in January, a channel to manage the tourney was started.
== Prizes ==
The prizes for winning are as follows:
1st: 5 Netherite Blocks 
2nd: 10 Diamond Blocks 
3rd: 9 stacks of Garrots
== Rules ==
The rules for the tournament were as follows: 
Rules: 
1. No Cheating 
2. Only use the tool kit provided to you from the refs (Tool Kit includes: full diamond armor, one diamond axe, one diamond sword, one crossbow, one bow, 10 arrows, one shield, 5 steaks and 1 gapple) 
3. Every participant must behave respectfully towards other participant and refs 
4. If you cannot meet the tournament time, talk to the ref to reschedule 
5. If internet connection becomes an issue, a rematch can be held when connection is stable. 
6. Each match consists of 5 rounds, the first participant to 3 wins will move up in the bracket. 
7. Depending on the amount of participates, the tournament is yet to be decided for single elimination or double elimination. 8. You must be a member of the server at least 48 hours before the tournament starts.
== How matches were organized ==
Matches were able to be organized if the two members were ready to fight, and there was a referee on the server. The players would choose two sides of a coin. The winner of said coin toss could choose from these the two, and later, three, stadiums to fight in- i.e, Dustpeaks, Honey Valley, And Lakaina. Once there, referees and the audience would watch over the 5 rounds, which ended when one player died. The player with the least amount of deaths in the 5 rounds would advance to the next round, and fight the next person in the bracket.
== Referees ==
The referees were:
Harvels
RinKiwa
Teja5
KingFredrickIII
magnetron_hd
== Stadiums ==
Originally, players could only choose two stadiums, the one in Dustpeaks, and Honey Valley- but later on, LeveledUp would create the stadium in Lakaina.
== How players advanced ==
In round 1, two players in two matches would fight, with the winner of that match moving on. In round two, the rest of the members would fight in their own 1v1 matches, along with the winners of round one, with the winners moving on to round three. The winners of round three moving on to the semi-finals, which had two 1v1 matches. The losers of the semi-finals would fight in the bronze bracket, with the winner of the bronze bracket getting third place. The winners of the Semi-finals would advance to the finals, with the winner of the finals getting first, and the loser taking the silver medal.

== Progress of the tournament ==
The tournament was supposed to be finished in a week, but due to people needing time for duties in real life, becoming less active, and other reasons, the time between the fights became extended, with fights taking longer to be finished. Eventually, people began dropping out of the tournament- and eventually, the tournament had very few members, who all were not able to participate in the immediate future. Eventually, Prof_Sakuriu did encourage the fights to start up again, and those who were uninterested or unable to fight dropped out, with the others moving on, and all the active members fighting. Eventually, the server ended up with Communist_Duck_ coming in 3rd, HungrySoviet coming in 2nd, and ufolov coming in 1st.
