    Rules:
    • MBR Season 1 Duration Date: 7.14.19 - 12.24.19
    • Minimum Duration for MBR: 3 Days (Animation), 1 Day (Everything Else)
    • Minimum Time for MBR: 20 seconds (For Animations)
    • 1v1 MBR’s only
    • Cheating and Forfeits will result in season ban from MBR’s and a temporary 2 week ban from MBR’s respectively.
    Blacklisted Themes (You can still do these, it will just net you less points per win):
    • Freestyle
    • 1v1 Fights (On its own, specific gimmicks like weapons only 1v1 is fine or other stipulations)
    I’ll explain how seasons are going. How many overall points you get per win are determined by the votes distribution.

    SEASONS:
    Seasons are periods where MBR’s will take place and you will make profiles for this season to get your rank and MBR. Seasons allow for core themes and sub themes to take place and be rotated for new and interesting ones. They also allow for resets should you improve during that time and get a new rank per season should you want to do so. Seasons will typically last for 3 months with 2 weeks off season to reflect on feedback and fix some things as well as plan out for the next season.

    CORE THEME AND SUB-THEMES:
    Themes are broken down into core themes and sub themes. Core themes are the motif of the season - this is a consistent thing across all mediums.

    Sub-themes now replace themes of the previous MBR, as this will be the scenario you will base your animations around and apply a story to these scenarios. Applying the core theme will net you the full amount of points you can obtain. Failure to do so will only net you less than the maximum, so about 12-15 being capped off. You may decide your own sub-themes so as long as it isn't blacklisted - otherwise that will cap off your points even further. Be a little creative with your scenarios. Remember these aren't just for fights: MMV's, story based animations, etc. are all still applicable to whatever you and your opponent see fit.

    Is this new? Then I’d better polish my animation skills since I have little time on my hands.
