A young man ran with a purpose through the bamboo forest. His lungs
pressed hard against his rib cage and beads of sweat formed on his
shaved head. Finally, he arrived at the base of the staircase that led
upwards to the great temple. The building was perched high above on a
hill like a massive owl. The young man caught his breath and ascended
the 114 steps, two at a time.

Coming to an abrupt stop just inside the archway at the entrance of a
small courtyard, the young man paused and heaved slowly with one hand
bracing him on the arch column. In the center of the courtyard, an old
man sat cross-legged with his head bowed in meditation. He spoke
slowly without opening his eyes, "You may come closer and ask your
question, Zheng mei." The man's face looked all of his sixty years,
but his powerful arms looked as though carved from soapstone. His face
was serene and a light smile played across it as the young man
half-collapsed at his feet.
"Master Liu, what is the greatest of all games for the woefully
unathletic?" The old man's brow furrowed and his eyes opened to
knife-edge narrow slits. He fixed the young man in his gaze and his
smile disappeared. "There is only...one...way." With this, Master Liu
floated twenty feet into the air and his arms spread out beside him
like an Eagle's wings. Electricity flickered between his splayed
fingers and his eyes blazed as suns. He let out a tremendous roar that
shook the buildings in town, several miles away, "TOURNAMENT OF
AWESOME!"

Consider it brung. In the past, Tournaments of Awesome would be held
on unmapped private islands owned by one-handed madmen, but we don't
have time for that. And so, this sucker is in our own back yards. It
is highly likely that brave warriors will fall, but in the end, one
side will be victorious. The other? Their heads will hang low as they
lick their wounds in the corner...losers...at least until the next
Tournament of Awesome!
