Inspired by the Anime Saimoe Tournament & the FIFA World Cup 2010, & to commemorate the Sankaku Channel turning ver 3.0 & the registration of the upcoming 10,000th SanCom user, yours truly proudly presents...
THE 1ST SANKAKU COMPLEX (SANCOM) MAI WAIFU TOURNAMENT!!!
WARNING: The following text is very lengthy, but I advise thorough understanding of the rules & format. Do take note of the relevant PDF file (Tournament table),
PS.: In the PDF file, only the Match format is relevant to this Tournament. The Match times & dates are irrelevant.
A) Lexicon
Participant: Participating registered SanCom user
Entrant: Participant's waifu
Voter: Registered SanCom user or Participant (complying Tournament rules)
B) Qualification
B.1) Only 2D characters from published materials (anime, manga, video games, doujin, etc) are allowed as Entrants. Hence, original characters are not allowed.
B.2) The character must be your waifu & is certified to be in the "SanCon Family Tree (Actual) - discussion". Hence, prove of the "union" must be included during submission of entries (Eg. - Your post in the family tree thread stating your waifu claim).
B.3) Reference: The SanCon Family Tree in Geni.com. All credits go to Deth. Arigatou gozaimasu, Deth-san.
B.4) For poligamous Participants, you are only allowed to assign 1 waifu as an Entrant. So, choose wisely.
B.5) Mistresses, children, cousins, nephews & nieces, ancestors or anyone but waifu of Participants are not eligible to enter.
B.6) Husbando are not eligible to enter. Gomenasai.
C) Participation & Entries (based on the World Cup format. Please cross refer to PDF file)
C.1) To participate, be the first 32 users (based on 32 World Cup finalists) to post your entries (together with the prove of "union") after the Entrant submission time starts.
C.2) The 32 Entrants will be allocated to 8 Groups (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H), with 4 slots each (Eg. - Group A: A1, A2, A3, A4. Group B: B1, B2, B3, B4)
C.3) The order in which the Entrants will be Grouped is based on the time entries are submitted. Notice the pattern.
The 1st Entrant will be placed in A1.
2nd Entrant in E1
3rd Entrant in B1
4th Entrant in F1
5th Entrant in C1
6th Entrant in G1
7th Entrant in D1
8th Entrant in H19th Entrant in A2
10th Entrant in E2
11th Entrant in B2
12th Entrant in F2

...
31st Entrant in D4
32nd Entrant in H4
D) Match Rules
D.1) To compete, each Entrant must post 3 illustrations of their waifu. The theme of the illustrations could be anything (moe, kawaii, sexy, h*ntai, guro, etc).
D.2) Do not post the illustrations during entry submission (first 32 users). Post them after Matches begin. Refer to Tournament schedule.
D.3) Illustrations must be from existing published materials. Illustrations that are altered in any way by the Participants are not allowed.
D.4) Illustrations must only depict the waifu Entrant. Group illustrations or illustrations which contain 2D characters other than the waifu Entrant are not allowed.
D.5) Animated illustrations are allowed.
D.6) Vid screenshots are not allowed.
D.7) 3D cosplay photos are not allowed, but 3D CGI illustrations or illustrations which exhibit 3D effects are allowed.
D.8) Here's the catch: Illustrations used in a particular Match can't be reused for subsequent Matches. New illustrations (of your waifu) must be produced for subsequent Matches. So, plan & allocate your illustrations wisely.
D.9) Utilizing the forum's limitations, Participants may change illustrations as long as the forum allows, but 1 hour after a post is uploaded, that post will be locked & further illustration changes are not allowed.
D.10) Once waifu illustration-posting ends & voting session begins, Voters will then vote the Entrants they favour.
D.11) Voting is open to all registered SanCom users & Participants.
D.12) Participants can only vote for Matches which do not involve their respective waifu.
D.13) Once votes are locked (by the forum), no vote-changing is allowed.
E) Match Format (Group Stage)
E.1) For each Group, Voters are required to vote their top 3 Entrants from the 4 in each Group, with their most favourite awarded 3 pts, second favourite 2 pts, & third favourite 1 pt. Voters are then required to vote in the other 7 Groups.
E.2) In the interest of fairness & consistency, a Voter must vote in all 8 Groups. Voters who vote in 7 or less Groups shall have all their votes disquaified for the Group Stage.
Eg. Group Stage voting format (in 1 post):-

...
- Group H - 1st: H2; 2nd: H4; 3rd: H3
E.3) After the voting session (for Group Stage) ends, votes will then be tallied & the Entrants' standings shall be arranged, with the Entrant with the most votes the winner of the respective Group, followed by the runner-up, second runner-up & fourth place.
E.4) The winners & runners-up of each Group will advance to the Knock-out Stage.

H) Miscellaneous (Optional)
H.1) Since SanCom has an "Any Artists?" thread, I propose anyone to illustrate a promotional poster, mascot & the winner's trophy.
H.2) Since SanCom has a "Musician Thread", I propose anyone to compose a theme song / music / melody.
H.3) I would also like to propose anyone to prepare a promotional (short) vid / clip / ad / tagline / catch phrase.
The participation & waifu Entrant submission starts on 7-Feb-2010, 0000 hours JST, Sunday. Until then, all are free to discuss about the Tournament: Queries, suggestions, etc.
Also, start collecting as many illustrations of your waifu as possible, or divorce & choose a new waifu or whatever. Those who have yet to claim a waifu, stake your claim ASAP (with prove of "union", of course)!
Since forum posts can quickly grow incredibly long, all official update posts (by yours truly) will be tagged with the phrase "mai_waifu_desu" (without quote marks) at the end of the update posts for ease using the search engine. So, search for "mai_waifu_desu" for updates.
I want this to be EPIC! I want this to be WIN!! I want this to be EPIC WIN!!!
If this is worth doing in SanCom, it's worth OVERDOING! So, let the world know of this Tournament because this is MADNESS!
...Madness?!
THIS! IS!! SANCOM!!!

* All times & dates are subject to change.

Sorry. Please close this thread, mods. Forgot to add attachments.
Nevermind. If only there's a post preview function... -.-
Anyone knows how to use a drop-down spoiler tag?
i'll register mistress remilia, it should at least entertain her for a while. my proof is in the tree, i'm somewhere way to the left.
TL:DR
What? No mai husbando?
I doubt there's enough regulars here to have that many sub-catergories.
Damn, people with popular characters will have a bigger repertory.
Poor little Ren-chan can't compete with the vast galleries of the Touhou girls.
Aye I say even though im not going to enter. cuz i gots no proof mah waifus mah waifu.

Then just go ahead and claim her in the family thread?
too complex =C
I'd like t enter but it sounds like a hassle...
Such dedication you have Man1, unfortunately I don't have the time to read all that for now
Don't worry though, I will read what you wrote later
I'll go with Ku fei
HAHAHA! FAI you've become the TC
I'm fully aware of the possible reactions towards such lengthy wall of text. That's why the tournament will only start a week from now, ie 7-Feb-2010, 0000 hours JST, Sunday.
Know that, like other threads, participation is optional.
*Sigh...* Perhaps the life of a (part) programmer resulted in over-anticipation of things, thus such tl post...

SanCom is my escapism (from RL). The effort I put into this - compared to RL and the dedication you all exhibit - is nothing, really. ;-P
Arigatou, Lens-san.

What do you mean with the vid?
What I mean is a short video or a clip promoting the tournament, like a MAD or something.
BTW, Fairos is not the threadstarter. It was actually me who started this. Fail formatting is fail... About the sudden deletion of my starting post that was before yours, honto ni gomenasai, Fairos-san.
The 3rd post of this thread is the real 1st post.
I'll enter if you make a mai husbando for M

I might.
I'll enter Balldandy if I can drop out whenever I feel like it.
Couldn't help it...

That's a wonderful typo. XD *imagines Belldandy is ball-form*
Arturo, for God's sake, change your gravatar. It's creeping me out.
It's that rapist from Another Lady Innocent. The second OVA got canceled or something, but still, in the preview it was foreshadowed that he would rape our precious yuri heroines. T_T
