New member, first post... Thanks for having me!

I am having a Mortal Kombat tourney in two weeks and am interested in hearing any creative ideas any of you might have. It's going to be a friendly and small 8-10 person tournament among friends at my place. I had a print shop make a bracket, and am making a trophy to go to the Grand Champion. If anyone has had a tourney, thought about it, or been to one, do you have any ideas to help make it fun, successful, and go as smooth as possible? I haven't looked up official tournament rules, but it seems pretty straight forward. I haven't set anything in stone yet however. One match each, best 2 out of 3, KOTH...?

Thanks and can't wait to hear ideas :)

Welcome to MKO! smile


Well, since it's a friendly tourney you can do it however you like man. You might even wanna try a TestYourLuck or a tag-team tourney, that might be crazy fun. If you want to do a classic tournament, then I suggest making it a double bracket type- winners & losers. This way anyone who loses their 1st match won't have to sit and watch for the rest of the tournament, they'll get to play at least one more match. I suggest best 2 out of 3 match-up format.

Sounds good, I would make winners and losers finals best 3 out of 5.
Winners + losers brackets will keep everyone engaged more too.

Make sure you've got plenty of snacks, get the good stuff lol.


Maybe if it's all even have a tag team tournament on the side as well.


Test your luck would be tight for a friendly tournament, I've played it a couple times with my bro and stuff, so much fun.

The trophy idea is really awesome too, it makes me wish my friends played MK, I would love to do a big tournament where everyone comes over to throw down, have som snacks, laugh, etc.

Have funsmile

Thanks guys... so far so good. I haven't decided on match type yet. I'm thinking 1 match, best 3 out of 5 rounds. I also like the idea of a side tag tournament and the losers tournament. Any ideas are appreciated :)

Oh, and by the way, I need a super high resolution image for the background of the bracket I'm having printed... so if anyone can point me in a good direction... the largest I can find isn't high enough doing to have printed big enough and be clear. Thanks!

What do you have in mind? I might can point you in the right direciton, do you want a stage or certain character for the background?


The Courtyard stage would be an awesome one imo.

Yeah the courtyard would be bad ass... I think ideally what would be perfect would be something like those "teaser" artworks promoting the xrays and stuff... they just sort of show the silhouette of the character.

How about this then?

White font would go well on it, I think. Or yellow...

Yeah if it's high enough resolution, or dpi to be printed as big as I want.. problem is writing people's names on a dark background. I don't want to ruin the image by having white boxes, maybe I can use a white paint pen. Thanks btw, I LOVE Mileena lol. JC's my man, but SHE'S my woman! :D BTW, I have an image I'd love to show of the trophy I made for the winner, however I've never posted a picture in a forum and am not sure how, or even what the forum's policy is. I may not even be able to, but I'd love to show you.

To post images you need to upload your image to an image hosting web-site (like TinyPic for example) and then copy the given link location for the image between the quotation marks below:


(img Src="Insert_your_image_location_here")

Also, substitute ( & ) with < & > respectively.



An example:




You can click on the "Reply" button for this message an then click on the "Add Original" button to see how I did it.

Thanks!



Here's the trophy thus far. Sorry for such a large image. It will be attached to a base that will look like stone, be covered in moss, and have holes in the back to allow incense to flow out. The medal is not finished... still need to detail it, but so far so good.

Anyway, thanks for everyone's help and ideas... this has been a great forum!
