Star Wars Ultimate Minifig Fighting Championship

[captaintau]

OK, I've chosen seven contestants (a bye for Boba making the 8th place) and randomised to give us a fighting order. The fighters are currently:

• Lando (Cloud City)
  
• IG-88
  
• Dengar
  
• Han (Mos Eisley)
  
• Boba (Cloud City)
  
• BYE
  
• Jango
  8. Greedo
  If anyone has any objections to these choices or think someone else should be included then please say so here.
  My grand plan is that tomorrow night I'll conclude the main championship and also start this one up.

why not jabba and a gamorean, as they kind of are smugglers, and zam wessel and chewie(still an even number)

Ah! I hadn't thought of Zam. We're short of PT characters so she should be included. I thought of Chewie but left him out to keep the numbers sensible. I don't just want an even number, I want a power of 2 (4,8,16 etc) so as elimination down to one winner is easy.

I am determined that Boba gets a free pass through at least one round, so I suppose we could work the numbers to account for this. I'll have a play and re-post. In the meantime, please do post any other suggestions.

Han - maybe another version?

Jabba - no, he's a crime lord, not a BH

Gammorean - no, he's a guard and nothing more (unless you count air-guitar player)

[jifel]

hmm, perhaps 1 version of boba and zam

Problem is, he doesn't exist as a minifig. If this were extended to the video games, we could add Boushh, and I know I've always wanted to see Leia's Boushh somewhere ... (what? WHAT? don't look at me like that, you're the ones with the dirty minds) ;-)

hahaha

So, what do we want to do about this?

My personal view at this point is to leave it for a bit. We may need to (somehow) increase the contestants to 16. Maybe include minifigs in the games. I'm off on holiday in the near future, so don't want to put this on hold halfway through.

Would anyone else like to run it?

i might be able to cover it for a bit

I meant would anyone like to do the whole thing?

[trooperdavinfelth]

Yeah, I vote for the video game figs to be included. Here's a quick list:

Boba Fett

Bossk

4-LOM

IG-88

Jango Fett

Dengar

Zam Wesall

Greedo

Han

Lando(should be from the Sail Barge!)

But that makes it ten figs. Maybe we need some mock-up figs, like Bounty Hunter Bob! (referring to Jedi Jimmy)

I will. LMK what needs doing, how to do it, etc.

I'll get right on it, Bub, Buck, skimpy-di-doodaa-wotsits.

You could just follow what I did in the original tournament. OR you think of a way to do it better.

Personally I would add Chewbacca to trooper's list. If you do simple elimination method (as I did) then you need to take it to sixteen fighters and add in some BYEs. I would ask that Boba get two BYEs due to his success in the original tournament.

[The Kid]

What's a BYE?

TK

[captaintau]

What's a BYE?

Never mind. I'll do it all.

[The Kid]

Never mind. I'll do it all.

Hehe. Well, if that's what ya want, but I can do it.

S'up to you.
