Huttball Season 3 Sign-Ups

Huttball is a dangerous sport that is popular in Hutt Space. The game pitted two randomly selected teams against one another in a no-holds-barred attempt to gain possession of the ball and bring it into the opposing team's camp. Violence and underhanded tactics are very much encouraged in Huttball.
Hello everyone, is a new year! This is the sign-ups for a Huttball Season 3 Game. Here and here are the previous seasons for reference, for those that want to take a read and get a feel for how the last threads were done.

The basics are: This game will be pitting 2 teams against each other, 3 players each. The objective of this game is to grab the ball that spawns in the center of the playing field and then take it to the opposing team's goal, doing so earns a point and concludes the round. A new round will start again with participants starting at their goal lines again healed. This game runs on a time limit of 30 days when the announcer IC starts the game after characters make their introduction posts. So the team with the highest score in 30 days will be the winner.

What's in it for you? Why, lots and lots of credits of course! And fame! And fun! Maybe something more... Any characters are welcome to sign-up for this event!

Notes

  • This event will be Dice and DM driven.
  • This event is 3 vs 3. 48 hours are allotted for sign-ups and OPEN to characters of all factions to sign-up. If there are more than 6 sign-ups, participants will be randomly selected. Teams will have randomly selected members. So if a Jedi and Sith join, it's possible they will be on the same team.
  • Everyone will have 48 hour post window after the DM posts. This event will work similarly to the Escape from Mataou events. Participants will roll dice (d20) for effectiveness of 1 major action, they will will write in their posts their actions are attempts. The DM will post once 48 hours (plus the usual weekend extension) have passed (or everyone has posted).
    • Some times there will be conflicting actions (two competing players rolling to get to the ball first. The highest dice roll may win out, but the DM will decide the effectiveness of both actions in the end based on how high the roll is).
      (For example. If you roll a 1 to get the ball, and your opponent rolls a 2, both players will most likely not be getting the ball.)
    • Other 'major actions' may include launching an attack on another character,, grabbing the ball, attempting to make progress making a run towards the goal while holding the ball .etc.
    • You may be asked to roll an additional time at the DM's request even after you have already posted.
    • If in a scenario for example one player is alone against multiple opponents attacking him, the single player may be asked to roll again by the DM for Disadvantage, where the lowest of their two rolls is the one that will be used to calculate their success.
    • If you have any questions during the event feel free to message me.
    • Please use the #dice-commands channel on discord for rolling dice. Rolls in the Difficulty Check section are fine, but regardless rolls will need to be linked in your post and you will have to state the action you are attempting before making your dice roll.
    • Please don't sign-up if you don't feel you can make the 48 hour post windows
  • The Hutt ball itself is heavy, and would required to be carried with all/both hands regardless of characters species/strength .etc. The player needs to physically have the ball in their possession at the goal to score.
  • Gear
    • Each player starts off with zero weapons and other gear. The DM will drop random weapons or other items in the arena for players to pick up
    • The players will wear a standard armor raiment, but can use up to 3 stock armor functions of their choice. Function rules for Force-sensitives still apply.
    • Force use is allowed.
  • This event is Death disabled and maim-disabled, although if players see fit they can have their characters be maimed or killed in the bout.
  • I will set up an OPEN observation thread that will run parallel to this thread, characters not participating are encouraged to join and make bets and socialize!
  • Have Fun!

Amazing participation! Love it :D

Sign ups will be open still until 6:11 tomorrow CST

Also an aside. As just an FYI, a characters higher level/skill with something will not confer any advantages here. Everything comes down to dice and not doing plus modifiers for rolls for levels or stated skills. Everyone is playing on equal playing field.
