Bending Haven Tournaments
Bending Haven features five tournaments: Elemental, Pro Bending, Spirit, Anarchy, and Team. Players can compete in multiple if they wish since they occur on different days. The five tournaments are split into two different groupings that oscillate every month. One grouping consists of the Elemental, Pro Bending, and Spirit Tournaments. The other grouping consists of the Anarchy and Team tournaments. When a player or team wins a tournament, they will be rewarded and their skins will be placed in the Hub for recognition.
Grouping #1
Elemental TournamentThe Elemental tournament is the traditional 1v1 element fighting consisting of fire, water, earth, air, and chi. Players will fight for the top bender of their element, and they can enroll with as many elements as they want.
|
Spirit TournamentThe Spirit tournament is a unique tournament that finds the best light and dark spirits, and then makes them battle for the fate of the universe. Players can enter as either light spirit or dark spirit and will fight to get the top light or dark spirit (like the Elemental tournament). Once the best of each are found, the light spirit (Rava) and the dark spirit (Vaatu) will battle to see who reigns supreme.
|
Pro Bending TournamentThe Pro Bending tournament (from the Legend of Korra) is played by a team of three players facing another team. Each team can have one water bender, one fire bender, and one earth bender. Pro Bending has specific rules, which you can read about here.

Grouping #2
AnarchyThe Anarchy tournament is a free for all style tournament. There are only two rules for this type of tournament: no excessive teaming and no avatar moves. The observer of the tournament is there to take points and ensure these two rules are not broken. There are two type of points the observer takes per player and are then calculated into a ratio of kills/deaths. Who ever gets the mathematically highest number when time is up wins. Kill points are only recorded if the death message includes the attacker. If it just says, "Steve suffocated in a wall," then Steve will get a death point, but the attacker will not get a kill point. If excessive teaming is found anyone involved in the team will take the same number of death points the victim received from them. Multi-element benders are allowed as long as there are no avatar moves.
|
TeamThe Team tournament is a 2v2 style tournament. In this tournament there is no elemental separation, so teams can consist of different elements; however, each player can only bend one element. Players can also not change their element between rounds or brackets. The tournament has an elimination type of scoring, so the best of 3 moves on to the next bracket. This is much how the Elemental tournament works, except its with teams and elements aren't separated into classes.
