Updated set of rules!
Complete set of rules:
- Every round users must roll their dices once. Most of the time the dices are 20d20.
- At the end of every round, a user is eliminated for having the lowest outcome out of all the rolls.
- Failure to roll during the allotted time for a round will get you eliminated and save the lowest roller.
- The user who rolled highest in the previous round will get bonus points for the next round. Usually 10 points.
- In the event of two or more users having equal numbers for the lowest rollers, all lowest rollers are eliminated.
- In the event of two or more users having equal numbers for the highest rollers, all highest rollers aquire the bonus.
- Tournament threads are for the games, use discussion and sign up thread for discussing. This is to keep the tournament thread neat and easy to evaluate.
- The general forum rules; no spamming, no trolling, no flaming.
Final rounds rules:
- The final two users will have a best of three (2/3) approach to determining the winner of the tournament.
- There is no allotted time for the best of three rounds, as soon as both have rolled, go on to the next set of rolls. (wait for the other user to roll before rolling again.)
Example:
P1: 292
P2: 286 Round 1
P1: 192
P2: 182 Round 2
P1: N/A
P2: N/A Round 3
Winner: P1
- After the best of three rounds, wait for official announcement.
- Celebrate

Here are some statistics if anyone is interested. I posted some in the actual thread accidently (sorry about that).
So, the lowest possible number to roll is 20, and the highest possible is 400 which leaves us with a total of 381 possible results (counting 20 as well), but for simplification purposes, I am going to use 380 as the Range of possible results (the logic is the same after all )
now let's look at the standard deviation (σ):
boring calculations, blah blah blah, but almighty Doombreed doesn't want to tire you, so he is going to draw out the magic number [not exactly. He just knows that the Range of possible results is equal to 6*σ in a regular distribution (or normal allocation)]:
σ ~ 380/6 =63.333... ~ 63
What have we just discovered?
Well, given this is true for normal and almost normal distributions, we learn that when rolling, you have a 68.2% a chance to roll anything between 147 and 273
(210 is the average, as x - R/2 must equal 20 and x + R/2 must equal 400. R = 380, so R/2 is 190 x - 190 = 20 so x = 210. 210 + 1*σ = 210 + 63 = 273. 210 - 63 = 147)
Υοu also have a total of 95,4% chance to roll anything in (210 - 2*σ, 210 + 2*σ). Which is (210 - 126, 210 + 126), which in turn is (84,336). But 84 and 336 are on the verge, along with some other close numbers so that's why we've yet to see any such result
Further analyzing the result leads to some more interesting discoveries like:
chance to roll anything in (84,126) = 13.6%
chance to roll anything in (126,210) = 34.1%
chance to roll 20 or 400 = 2* 0.1 = 0.2% (combined. Each has 0.1%)
chance to roll anything in (210,336) = 47.7%
But as the diagram suggests, there is a dramatically greater chance to roll something close to 210 than for example close to 126. though the total chance for rolling anything in (126,210) is 34.1% as shown above.
