Long time no see. Let's begin. lol @awkward mistakes in video
Premise// The Probending tournament was designed as a team challenge tournament. It fosters friendships and rivalries alike. Each editor focuses on one of the three elements allowed: Fire (effects), water (flow), or earth (emotion). The editor ONLY edits for their element; yet, often editors find all the elements tend to come together in editing. Rules// 1. Must enter in team of three. must only compete in your element. 2. All footage and programs are welcome 3. There will be no poor sportsman like conduct. 4. Deadlines are short; two weeks. There is no time requirement, however. Due to short deadlines, communication is key. this time there will be a skype group chat as well for competitors. this is NOT MANDATORY. I will use it to announce deadlines and such and reminders, but I will NOT condone drama. 5. Judges Needed. See Links below Sign-up// 1. Find a team of comrades and decide your element. 2. ONE of you comment with following: Presenting: [Enter Team Name] Fire: [username] Water: [username] Earth: [username] 3. I will reply. If you don't get a reply, your comment was lost 4. 16-32 teams will compete, bracket style.
Avatar// your avatar is not a team member. they do not need to sign up with you. You may use the avatar ONCE per game. Not per round. Per game. the avatar is another editor you get to submit a video for any of your teammates who will not be able to meet deadline. they must follow the challenge as if they were a part of your team.

OVERALL TOURNAMENT RULES; It's a four round tournament (each for each element). You can enter one round. you can enter two. you can enter 3. you can enter all 4! It doesn't matter. Each round/element will have a winner, declared the master of that element. The person with the highest score at the end of the four rounds will win Avatar. So. If you just wanna enter Fire, do so. But be aware you probably won't win Avatar by just entering one element XD There is also a matter of 'avatar state.' FOR ONE ROUND you are able to enter 'avatar state.' If you use it, you must declare so in your description. You will NOT be able to win the top editor of that element once you declare avatar state. Declaring avatar state allows you to be judged for another element as well as the element that round is based on for extra points. Example: If you aren't so hot at effects, you may choose to enter avatar state in the fire round, declaring water as your second element. We would judge you on fire, but also judge you as water. Your score (divided by four) in water would be ADDED to your fire score, increasing it. (which is why you would not be eligible for Fire Master) this can only be done for one round, so choose wisely. It also CANNOT BE DONE WITH THE AIR ROUND. trust me, you don't want it for that round
WHAT IS THIS TOURNAMENT? Easy. It's a four round tournament (each for each element). You don't need to audition. You can enter one round. you can enter two. you can enter 3. you can enter all 4! It doesn't matter. Each round/element will have a winner, declared the master of that element. The person with the highest score at the end of the four rounds will win Avatar. So. If you just wanna enter Earth, do so. But be aware you probably won't win Avatar by just entering one element XD There is also a matter of 'avatar state.' FOR ONE ROUND you are able to enter 'avatar state.' If you use it, you must declare so in your description. You will NOT be able to win the top editor of that element once you declare avatar state. Declaring avatar state allows you to be judged for another element as well as the element that round is based on for extra points. Example: If you aren't so hot at effects, you may choose to enter avatar state in the fire round, declaring water as your second element. We would judge you on fire, but also judge you as water. Your score (divided by four) in water would be ADDED to your fire score, increasing it. (which is why you would not be eligible for Fire Master) this can only be done for one round, so choose wisely. It also CANNOT BE DONE WITH THE AIR ROUND. trust me, you don't want it for that round
WHAT MEDIA IS ALLOWED? All of it. Seriously.
WHAT ARE THE THEMES/SONGS? I won't assign any. I will simply assign the element. In this order, actually: fire, water, earth, air.
WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS? Fire- effects water- flow earth- emotion air- c; a secret (for now)
Also quick announcement; I will NOT be running season 3 of PBT. though I'll still make the results vids, it will be run by xKitzCatx. Why? Easy. She HJ'd last time and did a stellar job, and I wanna compete XD so haGame II Results!ProBendingTournament2013-07-31 | Sorry that this is total crap XD after finally getting the tie broken tonight, I decided to just throw something together to get you guys the results. ^^ I wanted to let you know how very proud I am of this game. There wasn't a single round that was easy to judge, especially not this finale. EVERYONE who entered should be proud. Thank you guys
I hope to see you in the next tournament. That being said, WE HAVE UPDATES. Look a forum! http://probendertournament.freeforums.net It's currently still being worked on....cause. Well. I fail. If you wanna judge next season, you will need to apply on the site. Otherwise, you are NOT required to join to participate. is there if you want it, but not required. Also I could use help setting it up if anyone can code anything ;_; or do some better graphics
Next Tournament;; Season 3;; teams of 3 competing, as normal. Korra/TLA only. begins mid-August
Avatar Competition;; Begins before season 3 XD. this is a singles competition that challenges competitors to work with all 4 elements over 4 rounds to gain the title avatar. However, it also allows you to only enter rounds you feel like...there will be a top fire, water, earth, and air bender...and an avatar! :'D stay tuned!Semi-Final ResultsFinals! [CLOSED]ProBendingTournament2013-06-17 | DUE// July 16 hey guys! Wow. This was...a horrible decision. ;_; the judges really had issues this time around. Really, all four teams deserve a giant applause. I am honored to have you 12 participate and I hope you consider joining again. ♥
That being said, congrats to our finalists! For the final, you must work together to create a MEP. The challenge? To create a cohesive MEP, while still holding true to your element. The parts should flow together, creating a smooth MEP that just...looks together, you know? at the same time, you will be graded on your element as well. the marking scheme for this round judges the MEP as a whole for 40% of the score, then judges each member's part individually for the 20% each.
Best of luck
ALSO;; there are some big changes coming in the next few weeks. stay tuned for an announcement video regarding the next tournament, a new forum, fan-involvement, and a secondary tournament!R3 Results Round 4 [CLOSED]ProBendingTournament2013-05-19 | sorry this took so long.

[[PBT: Tournament II: Round 3]]R1Results Round 2 [Le Closed]ProBendingTournament2013-03-10 | Hello all and welcome to Round 2! \\Round 1 Results: thanks to all who entered! We had tons of fabulous entries! \\Round 2: Okey so this round is a tad complex, please pay attention. Each team should fill each of the following objectives [ONE editor per objective obviously. As in if Fire does option A, water can only do B or C, and earth can only do whichever they don't]. All videos can be any length, media, or song and you can interpret your color in ANY way! I'm giving an example for the color brown, since it wasn't assigned. Objectives: A) Thematic: Interpret the meaning of your color and use it as the theme of your video. EXAMPLE: I take brown to be like. the color of earth/nature/life. So I'd do a video about...spring! :'D B) Musical: Pick a Song/Artist with your color name in it! We understand this one can be hard, so please message us if you have issues Example: I'd use Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison cause that song is cute as hell. Except I prolly wouldn't cause Idk what to do with it. C) Visual: This one is straight forward. SHOW your color or HIDE your color. Build your video around the color visually. The video NEED NOT BE all one color! It can remain normal colored, as long as you can show you understand your color and can use it as a visual effect. Example: Idk, I'd prolly use sepia. brown was a poor example. :l
Anyway, I hope everything makes sense! If not, comments are open
\\Sorry about any delays prior to this. The results were supposed to be done last weekend so that they wouldn't interfere with midterms week but they weren't. My job is also kicking my butt, since my show opening is like in a month! Ah so much to do! I'm excited though ^^PBT II Round 1[CLOSED]ProBendingTournament2013-02-11 | EDIT// Thanks for all your entries! Judging will take around one week! Thanks for participating! I LOVE YOU GUYS ♥♥♥
REUPLOADED: because it was blocked in several countries and had some typos in the due date! the song was changed randomly so the timing is probably gross!
Hello and welcome to the Probending tournament! I would like to thank all the teams for auditioning and to apologize for a) the tardiness of this video and b) the lameness of this video XD I was going to make something epic, but life has not given me time or inspiration to edit, so. Yeah. OK BUSINESS TIME: Round One: As you can see, teams are put into teams to compete against one another. Each of these battles are assigned three songs. It does not matter which song your earth (emotion), water (flow), or fire (effects) members choose. HOWEVER each song must be used by one element, and each can only be used once. You may use a cover or remix of any of the three assigned to you. You may use any footage, and you may submit a video of ANY length. Please put your team/element name in the description or title for ease of judging. Also, to see the brackets and get an idea of who you'll be facing next round, please see end of description
ABOUT APPLYING TO JUDGE: you may not be competing if you are going to apply! I will be choosing judges based on your understanding of the rules, your personality and your availability. Don't be offended if you don't get to judge. It may just be that our schedules don't line up. Be aware you get ONE WEEK TO JUDGE. Even the first round, where there will hopefully be 96 entries. 96. be prepared Please PM form to this channel/ Name: that you wanna be called ^^ What do you want to judge: head judge (all entries; 96 max), fire/water/earth (will only judge your chosen element; 32 max) Why do you want to judge the one you chose? Please explain how you plan to judge? (examples: send me a scoring rubric or a description of what you'll be looking for) How can I contact you? (yt only, skype, email, etc)
EXTRA: I am need of someone clever with setting up forums/websites and making graphics. ^^ I would like a site, since we are growing :3Tournament 2 Signups! [CLOSED]ProBendingTournament2013-01-06 | FAQS AT THE BOTTOM~ Hey guys! Sorry for the long delay before tournament 2 began...I had a few things to work out. This tournament will be a tad different: * There will be 2-3 HJ who judge all elements. There will be 2-3 judges who only judge each element. Hopefully this will keep results fair and such. JUDGE AUDITIONS WILL BE SOON * ALL FOOTAGE, not just Korra and TLA, WILL BE ACCEPTED ;D Everything else is the same. Quick recap: * You will have 2 weeks per round * Fire edits effects (whether using tons or using which ones are appropriate), Earth edits emotion (any emotion), water edits flow. * Teams consist of a bender for each element
To Audition: * ONE member from your team submit an entry. Put in Desc: team name: Fire: Water: Earth:
I think that is everything. ^^ Questions? Do ask. This time I will not be making teams for you...:c if you don't have team, search the comments
FAQS: Does the entire team need to use one kinda of footage or does it not matter? It doesn't matter! I don't care if you edit GMVs, another edits AMVs, and the other edits live action. I do not care! MMVs are allowed as well! :'D
Do we each submit a video? NO. One per team! XD Otherwise, the judging process will be immense.
When is the deadline? Its in the video... Feb 1st
NOTE: PLEASE post your team name and shiz IN YOUR SUBMISSIONS DESCRIPTION. I will not comb through all these comments to get them all :/Tournament One Final Results!ProBendingTournament2012-12-16 | Once again, thank you SO much for your lovely entries. n_n Everyone who has entered, from qualifiers til now. I really cannot thank you all enough. I'm very glad this went over well. I can't wait til Season 2! the signups for season 2 will be in a few days, after I'm sure people have seen this. If you have suggestions, PLEASE feel free to pm this channel or contact us on facebook! do not contact us if you want to judge. I will open up signups for judges within the next week.
Once again congrats to all our winners!! :'D Very nice things were said about both teams, so if you guys want like copies of what the judges said, let me know!
I'm really just. So grateful ♥
These people have judged at least once, even if only a tiebreaker for one round: Cstar7777 [Co-Headjudge AngelDemon101 [Co-Headjudge CapnRaye Tophergasm XxIneedaheroxX Tifa326x
FINAL RULES:// For this round you will be making a collab/MEP between the three of you. Each will still be responsible for following his/her stylistic guidelines WHILE blending together to make a coherent MEP. How is this possible? Well keep in mind, effects is not just USING effects; it's knowing when they aren't appropriate. Emotion isn't only sad and slow. And flow doesn't have to be a bunch of crossfades. This is by far the biggest challenge, but it is one I feel confident both teams can do. Rules/ All three editors must edit at least a portion of the MEP. they don't have to be even, but they must exist. Only one member need submit the MEP. This is due on December 1st. Best of luck. (also if you can enter before then, then go you! XD)Round 3 Results [Closed and Judging]ProBendingTournament2012-10-07 | I am so sorry this is rushed and late. Life has handed me lemons. And lemon cakes. And lemonade. And other lemony things. At least it smells good.
SO FOR ROUND 4: USE ANYTHING WITHOUT WORDS instrumental musics onleh. You can use voiceovers though.

MATCHUPS Foo Foo Cuddlypoofs vs Stay Away From the Summoner The Noodle Squad vs The KorrasexualsRound 3 [CLOSED]ProBendingTournament2012-09-03 | Example time, for those of you who may be confused. Let's say you're given the themes: Love and Hate So. Say, Water does a sappy romance vid. Then fire does a "fu I hate you" video. Then Earth would do a video about a love/hate relationship or something. This may not be a good example, so example TWO~: good vs evil team member A does good, B does evil and C contrasts the two.
merf? questions? Concerns? Bagels?Round 2 ResultsProBendingTournament2012-09-03 | Wut. Round 3 coming at you tomorrow cause I was too damn lazy to put them in this vid XD also I reused all the shiz from the last vid, just changed timing a bit XD Thanks to Raye babe for picking the song AGAIN. Thanks to Cstar7777 and AngelDemon101 for judging ;_; Iluguys. I'll talk to you on AMONDAY lolz I loved every entry ;_; please don't feel bad if you didn't pass....I was rather upset to see some of these teams go. Feel free to pm about results~
But I have decided. There will be a Season 2. So PREPARE YOUR BODIES -shot guysitislike1amandIthinkImaybefallingforsomeonehelpmeRound 2 [Results posted]ProBendingTournament2012-08-09 | Yo, we be judging! Colleen and Rai both start Uni on Monday SO. Judging will likely be around a week again! Also, AngelDemon101 will be joining our fabulous team!
This video sucks because I'm tired and have deadlines to make ;3 so I recycled! Hello and welcome to round 2! Again you will be given two weeks to complete your entries. I again encourage you to follow the facebook, whether you're a competitor OR a fan. There will be mini contests and you can chitchat with others. Also, a forum will HOPEFULLY be opening up this game, once I get the magical ability to code :'D (fb- http://www.facebook.com/ProBendingTournament) Also, in a few days I will be posting mini-auditions for Judges. Many of you have expressed an interest in judging, and you will get a chance! :'D OK so clarification of this round: You're given 3 letters (PLEASE ASK IF THE FONT IS TOO HARD TO READ. Seriously, I don't want you to get the wrong letters). Your team must each use a song beginning with one of the letters. EX- Team Yoyobutt- A B C Water- All the Right MOves Fire- Bangarang Earth- Colorblind See? Each element used a DIFFERENT letter and chose a song beginning with it. Got it? Good. c; IMPORTANT;; THE / A / AN do NOT count as words. THE _____ doesn't count as a T song unless you realllly want it to XD but if, for example, you have G, you can use "The Great Escape"
btw- if you sent a pm asking about the results know that I AM REPLYING. but I got quite a few, so it may take a bit. ♥Round 1 Results [Tournament I]ProBendingTournament2012-08-08 | Hello all. Sorry for the immense delay, this was a lot more work for two people to do than I had realized! I hope you all enjoyed round 1. I must say I was hugely impressed with the number of entries and the quality of the videos! I was VERY sad to see some groups go and really hope you will all come back for the next tournament ♥Really, some teams were next to impossible to choose between. If you have any questions PLEASE message or comment. If you're going to complain or post rude comments about the results, have the decency to message. Any public drama will be deleted and you will NOT be allowed to rejoin this contest again. I must stress, this drama has to stop. Between judges and contestants, and between contestants. I never expected to have to send warnings to five people in the first round. It is NOT ok and you will be booted, and your team will have to deal with that.
My little rant is over now. Sorry this isn't on time, I made the video before picking a song. Thanks to Raye for the song! XD Also the vid looks kinda crappy, but I'm kinda lazy and who really cares? I think I could just put up a black bg with white text having the names of who passed with no music or anything and you would just be happy to finally have results XD
Round 2 will be posted tomorrowProBending Tournament I: Qualifier Round [DUE: July 10th at 7pm Central time]ProBendingTournament2012-07-03 | //This Round// This is a one time thing. In the future, instead of stopping the auditions at a certain time, I will stop at a certain number. However, for my idea to work, I need a more even number ♥ I had 34 teams enter, which I really appreciate. And I have two or three teams that still need to get their stuff together. So. This is a small cull. This kinda sucks, I know. :l you entered a vid when you auditioned, so why do it again, right? Well, here's the deal. I am accepting 32 teams. In order to be considered to be among those 32 you must enter a vid as a response to this video. ONLY ONE PER TEAM. It doesn't have to be new. It can be what you entered to the entry round. It really is not a big deal WHAT it is. However, this time: IT MUST BE AVATAR. There is no exception: if you want to progress into the main tournament, you must use The Last Airbender OR Korra. Please, for my sanity, put in the description OR the title what team. That is all. EX: Titleofmyvid [Teh Aweshome Teamz Fer Realz] :3 There will be a HEFTY advantage to the teams with the top scoring entries in this round. I will choose a winner from each element and then rank them in order. They will get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice of options for the next round. :3 They'll even get to pick their placement. [see procedure] //NOTICE// http://www.sendspace.com/file/2lew1z ^ This file has every team name and member with elements AS they were given to me. Please check to make sure all are spelled and matched correctly. Thanks loves.
//Procedure// So there have been tons of questions about how this tournament is going to work. After this round, I will make up a simple tournament style bracket. Each team will be randomly assigned a bracket. You will progress through each round, or lose (ex: http://biggerthomas.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/home-tournament-32-thumb.jpg)
Each round will be a bit different, but most will run like this. You will be given 3 songs OR themes. Your opponent team will have the same 3. It is up to your team to decide which element uses what song or theme. As a result, your opponent may be the same element as you, but using a different song. You will be paired with your own element. The winning beta will receive a point. The team with the most points progresses. There is no minimum time limit, and challenges go roughly one week.ProBending Editing Tournament I [Closed, read desc. for more]ProBendingTournament2012-06-10 | CLOSED
