This will be a fairly simple tournament consisting of Jedi Knights, Sith Lords, and what have you. There will be twelve participants in the round robin, which will determine the seeding for the tournament. Once the real tournament rolls around, the top four seeds each earn a first-round bye. Matchups will be adjusted according to seed after each round (i.e. #1 will always play the lowest seeded player remaining, and #12 will always play the highest seeded player remaining).

Each player has four stats which are pertinent to their success (or lack thereof) in the game.

Lightsaber Attack: Your ability to attack an opponent using a lightsaber.
Lightsaber Defense: Your ability to defend yourself from lightsaber attacks.
Force Attack: Your ability to attack an opponent using the Force.
Force Defense: Your ability to defend yourself from Force attacks.
At the beginning of the game, each player has forty points to allocate to each stat (there is no upper limit) in whichever way they see fit. Please PM these to me when you sign up. After each round robin match, each player gains an additional two points to allocate. These points may be spent at any time by sending me a PM - if you so choose, you could theoretically not spent a single additional point until after the round robin ends, or you can spend the points after each round. You are responsible for keeping track of your stats.
Battles are calculated in the following manner:

There is also a betting system. Rather than having each player possess a finite amount of credits, players may bet as much money as they so desire (according to limits described later). The player at the end of the game with the highest net earnings will win the betting game (which is entirely separate from and secondary to the outcome of the tournament).
During the round robin, players may bet up to a maximum of 20 credits on ONE matchup of their choosing (may not bet on themselves). During the tournament, players may bet on as many matchups as they want, and the limit will increase each round.

To make it easier on myself, betting will not necessarily work as it actually would in real life. Thus, players will bet on simple point spreads.
A more in-depth explanation of point spreads is located here.
For our purposes...
Code:
Outcome: earnings
Win bet: amount bet + (amount bet * 1.5)
Push: amount bet
Lose bet: - (amount bet)
* Please note that the point spreads are determined entirely by factors such as win-loss percentage and winning/losing streaks. Don't try to read into them, as they do not betray any information that is privy only to the GM.
As I said earlier, I'm looking for twelve players. When you sign up, please PM me your stat allocation (remember you have forty points available to spend as you please). You MUST spend ALL of these points before the game begins.
