[INTREST CHECK] 5E PvP Arena

So, I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, and figured that I should at least gauge interest before committing more resources into it. The Overview I'm looking to DM a one-shot esque PvP arena style game. I say one shot esque as there will not be any real overarching story and players will not be leveling up. Additionally, players will be rotating in and out of games. However, I think it would be cool to have some sort of king of the hill or W/L score for people to keep track of. This game is pretty much a time for the min-maxer or theory crafter to shine. So if you think you've got the best build out there please apply. Specific rules will appear on the actual game page. The simplified setup Teams of 4 players will team up and craft their characters following some guidelines and submit them to me to look over to ensure no cheating. (Although I really hope no one would try to) Both teams would then run through 2 small encounters before arriving at an arena with "randomized" terrain where they will fight for victory. The Logistics Games will be hosted probably around 6 or 7 pm PST on Wednesdays, Tuesdays, or Fridays. Although leaning more toward Wed or Tues. I'm thinking the game/s will last around 3 hrs long. Important! While I typically enjoy new players, this probably isn't the game for you. While I can't say I know all the rules of combat, players will be expected to know most of the rules of combat. Additionally, so combat doesn’t become bogged down due to the amount of players, decision making is expected in a timely manner. As of current I'm thinking around 15 seconds of "thinking time" before actions need to be declared. This will keep the flow going and also maintain the atmosphere of a fast paced combat. That said, if you are new and honestly think you can do it, by all means sign up. So post if you are interested!
When do you imagine this would begin? I finish this quarter on June 3rd but need to study so would depend for me when you plan the first day.
Well, it probably wouldn't start for another 2 weeks or so, and that's given we get the necessary 8 players. But as long as you're interested, if this game ever starts up I'll send you a PM. The nice part is that you wouldn't need to start on the first day, as this is essentially a series of one shots with a common theme.

Seems interesting. Can do Wednesdays around that time, if that works. I'd like to ask a bunch more questions to clarify things, but don't really want to clog up the post to do so, so I'll just PM you, or wait for the game page, which you said will have more info assuming this actually takes off. Hopefully it does. Could be fun.
So I just went ahead and created the game page. I have the game starting on June 3, but that's more a placeholder as of current, although if people joined, we could have a game. I went and explained a bit more without going into all the nitty gritty details, but I did write a lot so sorry in advance.
