If you have played Mario Strikers Charged, then you are aware of the Striker Cup format. Single round-robin, three points for a win, one for a sudden-death loss, and zero for a regulation loss. But have you ever wondered what goes on before and after those matches in the premiere Strikers tournament? Well I did too, and so came the birth of this RP. Here are some ground rules:

-Each RPer picks a captain from our selection (stats included).
-Each may choose their own combination of three sidekicks (each will have a breakdown of stats and skillshots)
-I will call for a match, and then the two teams will begin by starting the story in the locker rooms.
-I will decide when the stages of an episode begin and end (pre-match, match, and post-match).
-I will decide at the end of each match who wins and the score.
-Unless you have a logical explanation, no defending every shot.
-No scoring every shot.
-Megastrikes and skillshots will be allowed, but only under certain circumstances.
-God-modders will be disqualified from the tournament.
-Anyone who doesn't show up within two days to continue a match will forfeit by a score of 7-0 in favor of the non-offending side.
-Anyone who forfeits three straight matches will be disqualified.
-I'll decide how Megastrikes play out. Same with skillshots.
