(originally posted in the council board)

We really should organize a big aikido tournament. It will be good to put the team aikido name out in public. I'm willing to host and sponsor around 100k for the prize. Other sponsors will be greatly appreciated. This tournament will be available to the public, not just TA members.
In order to prevent lifting and shoveling, I suggest we use the rouxkido mod. We need to continue testing it to be sure it's event-worthy. I think we should rename it to something catchier and name the event after it. Suggestions? (Rouxkido mod has super high gravity and modded toris if you didn't already know)


To do:
-organize and brainstorm
-tournament bracket
-prizes
-extra prizes (best replay, most decaps, etc.)
-add a twist
-format an op

Optional: http://forum.toribash.com/showthread.php?t=457566

-get item forgers to make 3d item for winner

Feel free to post your ideas for the event. Any donations/help with artwork will be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: We are going to do a smaller forum event before we attempt the above event.
