Prize: 4,117 dollars
Introduction
Are you sick and tired of tournaments being "fair"? Personally, I'm sick of that shit. This fucking tournament is going to be lit af, and it's not even going to be fair at all. As the sole admin, I can DQ you at any moment in time for virtually any reason, or give you a walk-over win. Do you think you can outsmart me in a battle of wits and become the sole survivor of the Rigged StarLeague? I'll give you a hint: this league is actually winnable, but it's a meta-meta-game that will require you to use all of your life skills and forum-posting clout, as well as lawyer-like reading skills to find loopholes in the rules. Or am I just pretending like this is winnable? The game has already begun, and I'm already starting the mind-games.
Prize
If you win the tournament, you will get a huge grand prize of four thousand, one hundred and seventeen dollars, which you will collect as the crypto-currency known as "dogecoin".

The Holy Wheelbarrow is the ultimate god of a religion that I'm planning to start, which is partially why I need these poems. They'll go into the "Holy PDF" (because holy books are sooo last millennium) and will part of the divine scripture of this

Acknowledgements
Special thanks to: I'd like to thank myself for creating such a wonderful tournament for you peasants I mean awesome people. I hope you have fun in spite of the inevitable clusterfuck of nonsensical and confusing decisions that I will make that will either DQ you from the tournament, or unexpectedly cause you to beat someone that you should not ever normally beat.
