The Kingdom Hearts Union Cup Tournament is a Kingdom Hearts tournament held in celebration of the series' 15th Anniversary. It launches October 9, 2017. The purpose is to determine the best of the best from the Kingdom Hearts series according to the voice of the fans. There are various categories that elements and characters can be voted for, including Best Protagonist, Favorite Disney Character, and Favorite Boss Battle. This tournament also serves to prepare the community for the upcoming year of Kingdom Hearts III.

The tournament is being held simultaneously on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki and The Keyhole. In addition to the main tournament, a fanon tournament for movies and worlds in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III is being held here at the Kingdom Hearts Fanon Wiki.

How to Participate
All are invited to participate and vote during the tournament. Additionally, each battle has a "Hub" for discussion; all are encouraged to (civilly) discuss the battles and try and convince others why one character or subject is better than the other(s). There are new battles every week, and at the end of the week, the votes will be tallied and the winner moves on to the next round. Battles go from Monday to Friday. As you vote, we invite you to improve corresponding articles on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki or The Keyhole. Questions about the tournament should be brought to KeybladeSpyMaster.
 * Those who vote must have a registered account on the Kingdom Hearts Fanon Wiki. This is to help us keep track of the votes.
 * Once the bracket begins, users may vote only once in each battle that is open. Multiple votes will be disqualified.
 * You may change your vote, but only before the battle ends. Once the battle ends, the final score will be calculated and the winning subject will advance to the next round.
 * Do not use multiple accounts to nominate or vote. Sockpuppetry is strictly prohibited on the wiki, and wiki administrators and staff have the ability to check that whether you are engaging in sockpuppetry. Any account found violating account policies will be banned, and their votes will be invalidated during the tournament.
 * Follow all rules on the wiki when engaging with other users and voters. As always, statements that constitute threats of violence, are pornographic in nature, are attacks against other users, or are otherwise disruptive or inappropriate will be removed and the users will be blocked.

Nominations
There will be a nomination period, which begins October 9 and go through October 20. During this period, you may nominate whomever fits in those categories for the actual tournament. Each bracket has a limit of how many total may be nominated. If more than that number is nominated, only the top-voted nominations will go on to the actual tournament bracket.
 * You have up to five votes in nomination categories.
 * You may either nominate or upvote up to five different subjects in each category that is open to nominations for the bracket. Votes in favor of subjects already nominated count towards your five vote limit.
 * You may nominate only in categories that are opened for nominations. Some categories have pre-determined brackets prepared by tournament organizers (because there are much fewer subjects).

Awards
Awards are currently under consideration, but will be given for Most Influential Voter, Most Valuable Editor, and more. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.
 * Results will be announced at the end of December, and will be posted in preparation for Kingdom Hearts III.
