Entropian Events present
Polish your gloves and call your trainer… it’s time for the Entropia Universe World Boxing Championships 2009!
This year’s competition is officially sponsored by First Planet Company, and thanks to them and our other sponsors we’re able to offer some fantastic prizes for the 2009 champs.
It’s free to enter, and with five different competitions for various skill levels, there’s something for everyone, so read on to find out more!
Prizes
Contestants will be divided into five Weight Classes, based on their current Health (see below). The five winners will be declared EU World Boxing Champion 2009 for their class, and will each receive the following prizes:
Unlimited Loughlin Smacker Two

Each of the winners will receive an unlimited Loughlin Smacker Two. This is a great eco weapon for powerfist skilling or for using as a finisher. The Smacker Two is worth 1864 PED in TT value alone, and has an estimated market price well over 2000 PED.
See Entropedia for all the stats on this item: http://www.entropiawiki.com/Info.aspx?chart=Weapon&name=Loughlin_Smacker_Two
To commemorate their victory, the champions will receive a personalised forum signature, specially created for them by Globex Designs.
Here’s an example of last year’s design:
Entropia Forum Premium Memberships
Sponsored by EntropiaForum.com
Each champion will receive one year’s Modified Membership (which usually costs $57) on Entropia Forum. Runners-up will receive one year’s Improved Membership (usual cost $38).

The Martinez brothers have generously donated a Loughlin Smacker One (L) and a Svempa S40 (L) as prizes to the runner-up in each weight class.
Weight Classes
Entrants will be split into weight classes depending on their Health:
- Flyweight: Up to 110 Health
- Lightweight: 111-130 Health
- Welterweight: 131-150 Health
- Middleweight: 151-180 Health
- Heavyweight: 181 Health or above
Players will be required to prove their current Health at a ‘weigh-in’ by taking a screenshot prior to each match, clearly showing their current Health. This screenshot must be posted here or sent to me privately following the match.
Heavyweight and Welterweight competitors are not required to provide a screenshot (except in the case of an ‘over-weight’ Welterweight player – see below). Welterweights will be scanned to determine their Health.
Players’ Health is likely to increase during the course of the tournament, so players will be allowed to play ‘over-weight’ by up to 3 Health points, as long as they start the tournament in the correct weight class. There is no penalty for being ‘under-weight’. If you think you are likely to go ‘over-weight’ by more than 3 points, you should enter the higher weight class.
Example: Cassius joins the Welterweight class and starts the tournament with 147 Health. By the semi-final he has reached 152 Health and is allowed to compete as an ‘over-weight’ player. But by the final he has 154 Health and is disqualified – he should have entered the Middleweight class!
Registration
Entry to this event is free! All you need to do is register here on the forum.
Just post here, giving your full avatar name and the weight class you want to enter.
If you have a friend who wants to enter but does not have an EF account, you can post on their behalf. As I will not be able to contact them via EF, I’ll need an e-mail address, which should be sent to me in a PM – please don’t post e-mail addresses in the thread!
Registration is open now and will remain open until 30 September. Entries posted after 30 September will not be accepted.
IMPORTANT!
On 29 September I will contact all registered entrants to ask them to confirm that they will be taking part in the event. If I do not receive a reply by 2 October you will not be allowed to take part. If you know that you will be unable to reply to me during this time (e.g. if you will be away with no forum/e-mail access) please let me know in advance and I will discuss this with you individually.
Tournament Schedule
On 3 October the event launch party will be held, during which the first round draw will be made. Contestants don’t have to attend but I hope you’ll all come along and find out who your first opponent will be. Those who are not taking part in the event are of course welcome to attend.
First round matches will be held on 10 & 11 October. We will aim to complete as many matches as possible over this weekend.
Each match will be arranged individually in order to set a time convenient for both fighters. Entrants are expected to show a reasonable amount of flexibility when arranging matches, and to maintain communication with me, responding to messages in a timely manner. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.
In short – I’ll try to be flexible and I expect you to do the same. If you take the piss, you’re out.
Because of the ad hoc nature of the match arrangements, it’s impossible for me to give a more detailed schedule at this point. I hope to be able to hold the final matches on 31 October or 1 November, but this is subject to change.
Match Rules
1. The tournament follows a knockout format, with ties decided by random draw.
2. Dates and venues for matches will be announced in this thread and communicated privately to contestants.
3. Depending on the number of entrants in each class, some fighters may have to play an extra preliminary round.
4. With the exception of the finals, matches consist of up to 5 rounds, each lasting 3 minutes.
5. If one player dies within 3 minutes, his opponent is awarded a win by knockout for the round. If both fighters are still alive at the end of the round, the player with the highest proportion of health remaining (as determined by the judge by looking at the player’s on-screen health bars) will be awarded a win on points.
6. Any player leaving the ring during a round will forfeit the round to their opponent.
7. The winner of the match is the first player to win 3 rounds.
8. The final matches in each class will consist of up to 15 rounds of 3 minutes, with the winner being the first fighter to win 8 rounds.
9. Armour or healing is not allowed during a round. Players may of course heal between rounds.
10. The only weapon allowed is the Castorian EnKnuckles-A (TT Powerfist), except in the Heavyweight class. Heavyweight contestants must use the Loughlin Smacker One (limited or unlimited).
11. Excessive jumping is not allowed. If the judge feels that a contestant is jumping excessively (as a guideline, if you are jumping more than punching, that’s excessive) they will receive a warning in local chat. If the player continues to jump excessively, they will forfeit the round to their opponent.
12. Competitors are expected to show respect to their opponent and the tournament by:
- turning up to matches as arranged, on time;
- maintaining a reasonable level of communication with the organiser so that matches can be arranged effectively;
- demonstrating a reasonable amount of flexibility in arranging matches.
13. In case of any dispute, the judge’s decision is final. We reserve the right to disqualify any entrant in the event of suspected or proven cheating or foul play.
Spectators & Media
Spectators are welcome and encouraged to come along, cheer on their friends, and enjoy the boxing. You can follow the match schedule here on this thread.
Jamhot TV will once again be providing video coverage of the event.
We also hope to be working with the EU radio stations to provide radio coverage of the tournament. More details on this will follow when we’ve got them worked out.
Thanks…
Many thanks to all of our sponsors and media partners for supporting this event. Additional thanks to Globex for the event banners and artwork. And very special thanks to those who took part in and supported last year’s event – it’s because of you that we’ve been able to move on to a bigger and better tournament this year!
And finally…
If you have any questions please post them here.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL FIGHTERS!
