Have you ever wondered what it'd be like to design a not ranked field? To see your favorite fighters in? To see a match you've always wondered about? Now is your chance to do just that! Not Ranked is opening it's doors to the general public, giving them a chance to become a staff member and help design a field! With Not Ranked taking a six week break as soon as this season ends, it's the perfect chance to give the average voter a chance for just that. And thus.. the Not Ranked contest was born.

Contest rules:

1. The characters you select must not be ranked in the actual RPG Duelling League, and must be from an RPG with an actual battle form. Sorry, no Solid Snake or Braska.

2. Each winner gets a quarter of one division to pick what they want in. Example of a quarter (Example below.) Please keep selections reasonable. (No Emerald WEAPON in light.) Along the same line, superbosses are banned in godlike.

Week 1, Season 1 Not Ranked

Aya Brea (PE) vs Dragon (FE7)
Patriach (XS2) vs Adramelk (FFT)

3. Any character selected must have useable art for the arena page, either in the form of a screenshot or actual character art.

4. Although it's not required, any assistance you can give in doing the arena page writeup for your selected quarter will be of great help to the staff.

5. The contest is open for one full month. It opens on Feburary 3rd, 2006, and closes March 3rd 2006.

6. Winners will be contacted by AOL Instant Messager if they have a listed one. If not that, email. Winners will be selected one week after the contest closes.

7. Depending on response and demand, there will be anywhere from 4 to 8 open quarters up for grabs.

8. Please try and make the matches competitive. Everyone loves a good fight, and there's no better way to show off the talents of your favorite fighter.

And now, the question:

Who would you pick for Not Ranked, if you had full control and just one person to nominate? Why did you pick this person? (Interesting duels, funny personality). What division do they belong in, and why would they be a good fit?
