The premier tournament of the A·T world, the Gram Scale Tournament not only determines the best riders of the Parts War, but is also the only route to obtaining the Sky Regalia.
About[]
The Gram Scale Tournament is open to any A·T team of B-Class or higher; however, the necessary registration documents must be completed and submitted along with the team leader's R.E.A.D. data before the clock tower at Tropaion Tower tolls nine times.
Once applied, matches are randomly determined by the central database in the Tropaion Tower. Any class of battle is possible; usually, the higher-ranked team decides the type of battle and location. The tournament progresses using a knockout style of elimination, and the finals are a zero-gravity D-Class battle in the main elevator of the Tropaion Tower itself.
Sleeping Forest serves as an officiator to the tournament, as Tropaion Tower is their territory. However, should a particular team enter to win the Sky Regalia and possesses the strength to do so, they will enter the tournament personally to deal with the threat.
History[]
The last tournament was won by Sleipnire, with the Runner-up being Lion Heart.
