Papal Tournament

The Papal Tournaments were a series of trials by combat, used to determine the next Pope after the assassination of Pope Francis.

History
After Pope 'The No-Scope" Francis' death, a new pope of Krazketalia was to be chosen. The Krazketalian government decided that the best way to select a new Pope was via trial by combat, leading to the First, Second, and Third Papal Tournaments.

First and Second Papal Tournaments
The First Tournament was held in late 2018. Snidbert was victorious in this tournament. However, Benjamin forgot (?) to turn off items in the ruleset, rendering the Tournament invalid. During the Tournament, private investigation by Jam and Kel revealed that Slaven was secretly working for Waluigi. Due to his victory, Snidbert was unofficially declared Evil Pope

The Second tournament took place mere minutes after the First. The ruleset was corrected, and the contestants of the Second Tournament were outmatched by Benjamin. Before Krazketalian Authorities could arrest him for treason, he had already won the tournament and given control of the Papacy to Waluigi.

Third and Fourth Papal Tournaments
After the Pope's death and Waluigi's rise to power, political and civil unrest swept the world. The recently founded 🅱 Team contracted several mercenaries from a third party group called "The Mondays". In addition, Agent Colton Slaw returned from Germany for a few days to assist the Team. The Third Papal Tournament was held, resulting in the Papacy being claimed by Kevin, one of the leadership members of The Mondays. Once official control of the Papacy was out of the hands of Waluigi and his associates, The 🅱 Team led a military coup to overthrow Waluigi's power over Krazketalia. Although successful, Waluigi managed to evade capture.

A Fourth Tournament was later held, with another Monday know as Sir Gay or something like that winning.

Fifth and Sixth Papal Tournaments
After Pope Sir Gay mysteriously disappeared, a fifth tournament was held. A robotic dog entered the tournament but failed in semifinals. Snidbert won this tournament, using his patented Chungus Technique™. Afterward, the dog challenged him for the Evil Papacy, but Snidbert prevailed again. With one man holding both Pope titles, the Good vs. Evil schism ended.

Snidbert also won the Sixth Papal Tournament, making him the first Pope to win two Tournaments consecutively.

Seventh Papal Tournament
Public opinion turned against Snidbert when his involvement in the Mega Man scandal was revealed. Demoralized by the lack of support, he lost to Cool Jake in the Seventh Papal Tournament.
