Pathfinder PvP Gladiator Arena

I am looking for 7 additional DMs and 4 players per DM to participate in a gladiator style combat arena with pathfinder rules. DMs will act as the coaches, gladiator school, and judges. Each DM will have a team of four players. These four players will be pitted in a deadly 4v4 arena combat against a group of their peers. The DMs will get a set amount of gold to spend on their school. The players and DM will then work out who gets what, and who will play which role. All core races, classes, and items are allowed. No magic items. No masterwork items. Before each battle each DM will submit his team roster/item list the the opposing DM to check for inaccuracies. Once both DMs agree, let the battle commence! If a gladiator should fall in combat, the player may roll a second character for use in the next battle. Any damage that brings the character to -15 hitpoints or less will result in a kill, without the option of reviving. No exceptions. A team wins when all of their opponents are incapacitated, or dead. incapacitated characters may be played again. This will be a standard eight team tournament, matches will be best two out of three. Winners moving on to the next round.
I've never played Pathfinder before but I would be up for this. When will this be held? Any story fluff to go with this?
<a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/39063/JT-Gaw" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/39063/JT-Gaw</a> As of now there will not be story or fluff. If this goes well, I will add more features to the game. Such as levels for the gladiator school, extra gold per win, the ability for a school to travel around from town to town competing. That type of thing. Baby steps though, I want to get enough people interested to hold an 8 team tourney first. I am assuming you'd play as a player? Up to you, however I'd like the DMs to be people that can double check the rules. It will be held as soon as I can get enough players. I am hoping that each DM will bring a few players to play for his team, as well as pick people from here.
This sounds amazing, I'd love to join
What Trevor said, but slightly less enthusiastically (slightly).
I think you might want to do a 4 team instead of 8 team tourney though, I severely doubt we will get 32 people
I was thinking about letting the DMs also control a character. Since there will be plenty of people able to cross check rules. Really I just want enough experienced players, to be able to even it out. The DMs will really only need to be "team captains"
I'd be interested to join as a dm or a player its just that i have two questions what time would it be on and (most importantly) what level will each player be if the level is to low none of the mages would be of much use and if its to high the vis versa for the fighters
@ Tate Frederick I was thinking level 6, but this would be up for discussion if anybody had any objections to that. It does not have a time, because due to the nature of this type of game it doesn't need one. Once the teams are established the team captain/DM will talk to his players, and then to the other DM and set a time. The winner reports the win, any lost gladiators, and any broken items, and waits for the next round. Each round should take no longer than a week however.
Ok cool. In that case, Any Australian's looking for a team come talk to me and ill be your dm/one of your players
bump
how much of the rules do i have to know to play? and can i join even if i am a complete noob to pathfinder?
i think most teams would be happy to have you

I would like to join as a player. I'd be a GM, but I don't know Pathfinder well at all. /=

we still need 4 more people to join this awesomeness.
We have several people, and had a fun little scrimmage on Wednesday. I'll be running another scrimmage on Sunday at 1PM EST. If you want to show up, come with a level 6 character, 15 point buy, 150 gold worth of items, and a thirst for blood. Player's and Advanced Player's guides only please. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/39063/JT-Gaw" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/39063/JT-Gaw</a>
I would totally join if people are still doing this.
Id be willing to run as well.
