Could you perhaps address a quick question?
Given that your simulator seems to provide considerable detail on how fights unfold, how do you foresee roleplay unfolding in your event? Will participants gain any form of bonus or advantage for roleplaying?
I stress that I'm not asking this question in an attempt to discourage you, nor is it some form of moderator ruling; I'm just raising an issue that may prove of interest to potential participants.

Short Bio: Hugo Madera was born in Carbonia, northern Fourge, in 2170. The 22-year old had designs on becoming an Osarian Combat Federation (OCF) fighter from his early teens, having grown up watching the likes of legendary "omnifighter", Maximillian "The Millionaire" Killick. At 13, he won the Junior Ace Fourgian Championship (a stand-up martial arts competition for under 16s, similar to K-1, known to be a feeder organisation of sorts for the OCF) and shortly after, began training with an OCF affiliate gym in Carbonia. At age 18, having moved to Firewood for university, he joined Henchman Factory, one of the most well-known gyms in Osarius, and earned an OCF contract within a year, dropping out of university to fight professionally. He has amassed a record of 6 wins and 1 defeat since making his debut a little under three years ago. Madera's nickname comes from his tendency to withdraw in fights, and suddenly explode forth with a powerful counterpunch, or as Olufemi Kone puts it, his tendency to "only sting when cornered".

Bio:
Kliment Innokenti is a 29 year old lobo from Vulshain. He is skilled in both Katagatz, a Vulshainian form of kickboxing very similar to Muay Thai kickboxing, and Wenggi, a style of martial arts that combines elements from Taekwondo, judo, boxing, Fu Jow Pai, and kung fu. He also knows some moves from savate, or French kickboxing. Kliment Innokenti used to be quite weak and sickly at a young age. That all changed when he saw his father participate in a fighting tournament. This event inspired Kliment to be like his father. Kliment soon began to master both Katagatz and Wenggi. He became interested in other fighting styles after watching a foreign film featuring martial arts while out with some friends, one of whom was Taisyia Rainard, one of the older sisters of current King Samuil Rainard of Vulshain. He had a crush on her, but was afraid that she wouldn't like him. He has yet to tell her of his feelings for her. Kliment left home after high school and travelled around, training as he went. He eventually trained under a scarred, eyepatch-wearing Muay Thai champion. Kliment endured his mentor's harsh and very demanding training regiment. Kliment hopes to enter the Mixed Martial Arts World Championships in the hopes that winning will help boost his confidence in telling Taisyia how he feels about her.
Fighting Style: Kliment mainly uses Katagatz, which uses many Muay Thai moves and attacks. He also knows many moves belonging to Wenggi, which are very useful in takedowns and grappling. He throws in some savate moves to spice things up. He does use uppercuts at times as well.
Appearance: He wears traditional short Muay Thai kickboxing shorts, which are blue with red trim. Kliment wears tape around his fists and feet to protect his hands and ankles. His fur is ochre-colored, although he does have some brown fur around the lower arms and lower legs. His hands, except for the backs, are blond. He has reddish-brown hair that he keeps in a short ponytail. He has a tail, just like other lobos. While mainly frail at an early age, Kliment has changed physically since then. While now possessing a muscular body, he is also quite agile, and uses his agility to his advantage in his fights.

Osarius wrote:"Well, that was quick!" It was Raul Bermudez, Hugo's sparring partner at Henchman Factory, congratulating the new ANSF Champion upon his triumphant return to Firewood. "First fight in the organisation and you take the title, haha!"
Bermudez wasn't the only one greeting Madera, a group of fighters had surrounded the Fourgian.
"Lucky break, Raul. I just got a title shot straight off. Dunno if its because of the rep I built up in OCF or whatever, but I'm not arguing." Hugo tried to downplay it a little. He was always wary of overconfidence, something the gym boss Olufemi Kone had drilled into his fighters from day one.
"Does it matter how and why? You're the champ!" Raul's enthusiasm was clearly greater, but it was to be expected. While Raul was a decent fighter in his own right, he was never going to make it as a serious title contender in any organisation. His only glories in combat came reflected from his stablemates, really.
"I guess... b-" Hugo began, but was cut off shortly.
"Madera! My office." It was the boss. Even though the boss was pretty old now, he was still intimidating. A former Osarian heavyweight boxing champion, and still in great shape... he just wasn't someone you wanted to mess with.
In Kone's office, Madera glanced around. He'd never actually been in there, but he saw photos on the walls of the gym's best fighters over the years -- Andre MacLean and Benni Watson with the latter's GAAF Lightweight title and OCF kickboxing title; the boss' grandson Akachi at the 3rd Al-Mumtaz Boxing Championship, and others -- and trophies, presumably won by the man himself and members of the gym. There were pictures of Olufemi Kone with famous movie stars, musicians, sports stars... they covered almost all of the office walls. Hugo paused for a moment and stared, the boss was even more of a big deal than he'd thought.
"First, I want to congratulate you." The boss spoke slowly, and deliberately. "I see your boxing work with Bermudez has paid off." Hugo merely nodded, still a little uneasy. "However, you understand that you are now representing Henchman Factory, my gym, my stable... my family," the emphasis was clear "in another country."
"Of course, boss." Hugo was careful in choosing his words.
"Then you understand the importance of always carrying yourself with pride. My gym does not train thugs, or hoodlums, or 'party boys'," again with the clear emphasis "you understand me?"
"Loud and clear, boss." Hugo decided to continue, though. "I owe you so much, I'm living my dream thanks to you."
It was true, Hugo had dreamt of fighting in the OCF since his teens.
"Hugo, listen to me." The boss' voice softened, and he stood up to walk over to Hugo. "I am a facilitator. I don't create fighters, I merely make things possible for them. If you're a diamond, I just cleaned you up." A dinner plate sized palm crashed down onto Hugo's shoulder, and he couldn't help but imagine how much more it would have hurt if it had been a punch. "I thank you, for helping to enhance my gym's reputation."
"Y-Yeah... thanks, boss." Hugo stammered, confused.
"But that doesn't mean I won't rain down on you like bricks from an aeroplane if you fuck up." He paused for effect. "Got it?"* * * * *
Back in the gym, Hugo was assisting Benni Watson with one of the classes. Watson was a former Global All-Arts Fighting (GAAF) and OCF champion, who was in semi-retirement, and often gave Hugo advice on fighting at lightweight -- as it was his weight class, too -- which the younger man cherished.
"...so when he tries to come around the side here," Watson gestured for Hugo to demonstrate, "you can counter... like this..." Watson reversed Hugo's manoeuvre easily and sent him crashing to the mat.
"Ooof!" He had done it slowly, yet the force had still knocked the wind out of the younger man. 'How does he generate so much strength at that speed?!' Hugo thought to himself.
He made a mental note to ask after the class was done. He'd practice with one of the other guys tomorrow. Probably Alessandro. He was a Corradini, so athletics ran in his blood. His father and grandfather were boxers, after all. Yeah, that's who he'd ask, he'd be less likely to get injured... probably.
