All Information
General SummaryBattle Arena is a competition where participants form teams of two to create an AMV while following specific rules. The contest starts on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 8:00 PM GMT+1 (Paris) and ends on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at 11:59 PM GMT+1 (Paris). The required songs are revealed at the start, and each team must produce a video of at least 2 minutes. Once completed, the video must be submitted to the designated platform, with no exclusivity requirement.
Registration and ParticipationAnyone can participate as long as they form a team of two. Videos must comply with technical guidelines to be accepted. Once submitted, a video can be freely shared.
Technical Rules and RestrictionsParticipants must use one of the mandatory songs for their AMV. Only animated scenes are allowed: full 3D videos or original animations are not accepted. Any content inappropriate for YouTube, such as hentai, sexual assault scenes, or shocking images, is strictly prohibited and will result in severe penalties. Pre-editing the AMV or using pre-made graphic elements is forbidden. Additionally, using stolen scenes from other AMVs is prohibited. However, animated cinematics, such as those from Arcane, are allowed. To comply with technical specifications, your AMV must use H264 or H265 video codecs and MP3, AAC, FLAC, or WAV audio codecs. Accepted container formats are MP4, MKV, AVI, or MOV. The file size must not exceed 500MB, and the minimum video duration is 2 minutes. Finally, avoid TV logos, aliasing, subtitles, or any other elements that could harm the quality and ranking of your AMV.
Tournament ProgressionOnce all videos are validated, a random draw determines the first round, and the tournament structure is revealed. Each confrontation is a duel between two teams of two participants, following a single-elimination system. The tournament is organized in multiple rounds, each containing several brackets, ensuring fair and structured competition. After the initial bracket is set, the tournament progresses systematically. For example, with 64 teams, the first round consists of 32 matches, reducing the number to 32 teams. The second round features 16 matches, leaving 16 teams. The third round organizes 8 matches, bringing the number down to 8 teams. The quarter-finals pit these 8 teams against each other in 4 matches, leaving 4 teams. The semi-finals have 2 matches, leaving only 2 teams for the final, where a single duel determines the champion. The first round is randomized to ensure fairness, while subsequent rounds follow a structured tournament format, ensuring competitive balance and clear progression.
The Last ChanceEliminated Teams have two options to re-enter the competition. The first is based on a public vote: during the first two rounds of the tournament, the community can bring back an eliminated team from all available brackets. This vote is open for 24 hours after the end of the relevant matches. The second option allows the purchase of a Resurrection Card with ST Dollars in the shop section (when available). However, this card is limited in quantity, and its purchase results in the loss of all ST Dollars for both team members (the buyer and their teammate).
How to Earn ST Dollars?We've mentioned ST Dollars in the previous rules, but what exactly are they? ST Dollars are the tournament's virtual currency, used for betting on matches and purchasing items in the shop section (when available). Upon registering for the competition (not the site), each participant receives a starting amount of ST Dollars. The main way to earn more is by betting on matches. Before each Bracket begins, participants can use their ST Dollars to bet on the AMVs they believe will win. It's possible to bet on multiple AMVs in the same Bracket, but be careful with your budget! The odds for each AMV are determined by an independent jury (which does not participate in the tournament judging) based on statistics, content quality, and the past performance of team members. The formula for calculating winnings is simple: ST Dollars bet x AMV odds = ST Dollars won. For example, if you bet 10 ST Dollars on an AMV with odds of 1.5 and it wins, you receive 15 ST Dollars. However, if the AMV you bet on loses, you lose the ST Dollars you wagered. Once earned, ST Dollars can be spent in the shop section to purchase items such as the Resurrection Card or other rewards. Use them strategically to maximize your chances of success in the tournament!
The JudgesThe tournament judges will be revealed soon. They will evaluate the AMVs using a precise and detailed scoring system, ensuring a fair and transparent assessment for all participants. Stay tuned to find out who they are and how they will judge your creations.
