CHAOTIC MAKES IT SOUND LIKE I'M NOT MAKING SOME THINGS CLEAR SO I WILL TRY TO CLEAR SOME THINGS UPTHE ONLY THINGS ALLOWED IN ARE /an/ THINGS. /an/ THINGS ARE THINGS THAT ARE ANIMAL AND NATURE! NO CARTOONS OR CONCEPTS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT EXISTS OUTSIDE OF REALITY. CONSTESTANTS MUST BE REAL. I WILL NOT GIVE EXAMPLES OF ELIGIBLE CONTESTANTS BECAUSE THAT MIGHT INFLUENCE THE NAMED EXAMPLES PERFORMACE IN THE TOURNAMENT, SHOULD THEY BE NOMINATED, BUT I WILL GIVE EXAMPLES OF CONTESTANTS THAT ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONTEST, OR NONCONSTESTANTS. YOU CAN CALL THE NONCON FOR SHORT. FICTIONAL CHARACTERS LIKE DOCTOR EGGMAN, FICTIONAL ANIMALS LIKE DRAGONS, FICTIONAL EFFECTS LIKE CHI BLASTS, ARBITRARY THINGS LIKE SPECIES CONCEPTS OR UNITS OF MEASUREMENT.
