I'll have to agree with BRTE here. If we give time to prepare the OCs, everybody will just modify their characters to be the best. Also, not everything is about fighting in the RWBYverse, however awesome it may be.

Pardon me if I'm not getting your meaning on this, but I don't think people would modify their characters to the point where they'd become seriously OP, so that's not necessarily the issue. Making their character the "best" as in a sense of 100% guaranteed victory would probably automatically disqualify them from a tournament like contest; it would be more along the lines of perfecting their abilities, so it's understandable and clear for everyone.

I mean if you started off with an OC that's perfect enough for you, stick with them and don't change them drastically just to win. If they have one good weapon, stick with it and don't give them a whole arsenal at their disposal that they can carry all at once or something. I feel that as long as you don't add, "My OC doesn't take damage," "My OC can wield 5 weapons at a time," "My OC mastered every weapon," "My OC's looks can kill, literally," or anything along the lines of, "My OC is a GOD!" then it would be perfectly fine.

Think about it: if everyone's characters for a tourney contest were OP, there would be no contest. Nobody wants to see a guy who can perform Spirit Bomb at full power like it was nothing over and over. The characters we all made are pretty much tied down to be your normal average gang of teenagers to young adults (possibly older/younger) that can be seen in the RWBY-verse. The key word there is "normal" and all normal people have their limits.

With that said (yes long reply haha), I think a tournament contest wouldn't be so bad.
