In a video game, if someone, somewhere, mentions a tournament or large-scale competition being held, you will almost always end up competing in it. Most of the time, you won't have a choice. This is especially likely in Eastern RPG games, which seem contractually obligated to feature one tournament per game. The reasons for your entrance vary: you may need to win to convince someone to give you key information; the villains may hold a party member hostage; the prize itself may be a Plot Coupon; or you may have to compete or die (a form of Forced Prize Fight). The actual mechanics of the tournament depend on the type of game. However, it's usually just a series of fights/duels/cooking challenges, whatever the game uses for conflict. Occasionally it'll be an Unexpected Gameplay Change and you'll have to start racing/playing soccer/bobbing for goldfish. This area is usually free from standard game rules in that losing does not end the game and winning does not give standard experience. This is a highly compressed version of the Tournament Arc, reduced to a subplot rather than a story in itself. The tournament will be single-elimination, so you cannot progress if you lose a match, and your opponents will always get harder as you advance, even if proper seeding is entirely ignored. Although the first forced entry to this event may not require you to actually win, jaunts back into this location later in the game can be a cheap Bonus Dungeon or Minigame Zone. When your Inevitable Tournament involves characters getting in fights, then this is a Gladiator Subquest. |

While fighting in Trotmobile tournaments is part of Steambot Chronicles' Wide-Open Sandbox nature, a scenario pops up at around the halfway point where you have to participate in a single-elimination tournament. The final opponent you face is the undefeated Elder in his "White Phantom" Trotmobile. | |

The .hack//G.U. Games has one of these in every game of the trilogy, as each game features a different level of the Arena's ranking structure for various level brackets. They are required for progress, and unless there's a pre-requisite to gaining a certain rank or fighting a number of battles first, all story fights are static. With enough Level Grinding, you can end up in story matches that you can win by offing all three opponents in a single attack. | |

Arena, the first game in the series, was originally conceived as a gladiatorial combat game. However, early in development, that idea was scratched in favor of adapting the developers' home-brew D&D setting, Tamriel, into a computer game. The fast-paced gladiatorial combat style remained, though, and Arena was much more action-oriented than other RPGs of the time. | |

Star Ocean games as well. Considering the first Tales game essentially split off into the Tales and Star Ocean series, they share quite a few common elements despite now being made by entirely different companies.

In Suikoden V, the main character does not compete in the Sacred Games, a multi-layered fighting tournament meant to determine the future husband of the princess of Falena, despite its legendary status. Mainly this is because the main character is the prince of Falena and said princess is your little sister. You are required to participate in a ceremonial opening match, though, which leads to a rather hilarious cutscene if you win when it turns out nobody told your sister that it was only ceremonial. | |

Most fighting games based on pre-existing properties will tend to follow a storyline from the original source. Sometimes, a side-story is created for the game, but it's rarely a tournament. For example, in Bleach: Shattered Blade, the reason everyone is fighting each other is because the MacGuffin of this game causes competent fighters (and a few incompetent ones) to become violent and aggressive, and the Big Bad is playing them off each other as a distraction and to eliminate threats. | |

Averted in Solatorobo. Yes, there is a tournament in the form of the Duel Ship, but it's entirely optional. Only a few of the battles have skill points as a prize (which'll help inflate your rank as a Hunter), whereas most of the time you'll just recieve cash as a prize. It's still probably one of the fastest ways to grind money for the overpriced New Game Plus-exclusive Dahak frame upgrades outside of playing through the story again. | |

Mount & Blade features randomly occurring tournaments in each of the large cities.

The initial part of Dark Sun: Shattered Lands was spent in the gladiatorial pits, giving the player several chances to escape to freedom and the rest of the game. Of course, you could ignore these opportunities and continue fighting opponents in the arena, who continued to get stronger to match your current level. You can get absurdly powerful after a few hours of these matches and can then simply wade through the guards at the front gate. | |

Only the original Guilty Gear featured a tournament, and that was only in response to rumors of a plot to revive the Sealed Evil in a Can Commander Gear responsible for a recently-ended war that lasted over a century. The following games focus on the cast traveling around the world, dealing with situations like the daughter of the Command Gear, a government conspiracy, the man responsible for the creation of said Commander Gear, tenuous alliances, and loads of interpersonal conflict. | |

In RWBY, there is the Vytal Festival tournament, which was mentioned in the very first episode. It serves as a symbol of unity for the various nations of Remnant and a way for Hunters and Huntresses to prove their skills in a safe environment. The show finally gets around to it in Volume 3 (About three years later in real time, 6 months in-universe). However, it is brought to an abrupt stop when, due to the manipulations of undercover villains, one of the heroes accidentally kills another in a fight that is broadcasted to the entire world. Things go downhill from there. | |

Subverted in Baldur's Gate II when the Illithids capture your entire party, you are set up to fight in a tournament for your new mind-controlling masters' amusement, however, you can break out and organize a gladiator uprising before the tournament even begins. The Enhanced Editions adds the Black Pit set of adventurers (they're separate from the main adventure, and canonically are not done by the same characters), which consists entirely of tournaments done for your masters' amusement until the equally inevitable gladiator uprising (Black Pits starts with you getting kidnapped for Baeloth's Pits, and ends when, after grinding your way up the ranks of the gladiators, you manage to overthrow Baeloth and escape to freedom. Black Pits 2 starts with you getting kidnapped for a Thayvan arena, and ends when, after grinding your way up the ranks of the gladiators, you overthrow the master of the arena and is diverted somewhere else by an angry and crazy resurrected Baeloth. |

Final Fantasy VII requires Cloud to engage in a round at the Battle Arena for the enjoyment of the proprietor. Afterwards, even if you lose round one to Mooks, you receive the Plot-Necessary Item.

World of Warcraft in patch 3.2 added the Argent Tournament in Northrend where players fight in a coliseum type format in various challenges. It's not, strictly speaking, inevitable — like every other quest and instance in the game, it can be skipped. Although at the moment of release, Trial of the Champion was intended as a graduation instance for new level 80 players to get their first epics, and Trial of the Crusader was the highest-tier endgame raid, with the release of patch 3.3 they have lessened in importance. Arena or the entire concept of PVP really but especially Arena. This makes "tournaments" really important in WoW since PvP is invaluable to the success of WoW. |

In the Apprentice Adept series, Stile's entry into the Tourney of Proton was quite inevitable and forced by circumstances. He had been training to enter the Tourney in three years, but he got on the bad side of the capricious ruling class of Citizens (being fired for an incident that wasn't his fault), and most of the time when that happens to someone, they have to leave their home planet of Proton forever. He was able to find an employer willing to let him stay, but he had to play the Tourney of Proton immediately, before he was truly ready for the task. And the penalty for losing the Tourney would have been—once again—having to leave Proton forever. | |

Subverted in Beyond Good & Evil. There are hovercraft races that the player can voluntarily take part in. At one part in the game, the player is required to enter such a race, because the track has a backdoor entrance to a heavily guarded and otherwise unreachable place. The player doesn't have to win or finish the race, just get off the track at the right point. (In fact, if you do finish the race, you've just got to start another one so you can properly wander off!) | |

Quest for Glory V being a lot more fight heavy than the previous instalments, which are more Action-Adventure, you'd think the giant Colosseum in town leads to this. It's not, the fights in there are a Side Quest that runs optionally in the beginning of the game. | |

This trope is subverted in Mega Man Star Force 3; around the beginning of the game, everybody is talking about a Wizard tournament at the mall. When you go there, however, you see that Ace has already finished it, after which the Noise Wizards attack. Considering how similar the plot of the third game was to that of Battle Network's fourth, this could arguably be construed as a Take That! to its hated predecessor. | |

There are a lot of these in Pokémon Colosseum, as the name implies. There are several arenas around Orre and you can enter into short tournaments at each one. There's also Mt. Battle, which you have to enter as part of the plot but later opens up to free challenges- it's a 100-battle gauntlet! | |

Final Fantasy IX holds not one, but two Inevitable Tournaments. The first being a hunting tournament that you compete in against two other party members. The second is a card tournament. Both you must participate in, but you don't need to win either, although you still need to beat the first two opponents in the card tournament. In fact, the prize you get from the hunting tournament is better if you finish second instead of first. To clarify, if Zidane (who the player controls in the tournament) wins, you get a cash prize (worthless, as you can grind for gil), If Vivi wins, you get a card (absolutely worthless, as it offers you nothing gameplay wise, just like every other card with the possible exception of one specific card that you can get without even touching the card game if you count being able to rename characters a gameplay feature). If Freya wins, you net yourself the Coral Ring, an accessory that you can't get anywhere else on Disk 1 and whose Thunder absorbing qualities just so happen to completely nullify the end-of-disk boss's most powerful single-target attack. You can also get a decent accessory for winning the final match of the card tournament, but there's plenty of other ways to get it by that point in the game. |

In Shuyan Saga, there's a martial arts tournament on in Nan Feng at the start of the game, and Shuyan participates against the wishes of her mother the queen. Shuyan's friends are of differing opinions about the whole thing — Wuyang thinks the fighters battle for glory and honour, but his sister Lily thinks they're just beating people up for money. The tournament leader, Jian, initially refuses to fight Shuyan, claiming that she'll pay her way to victory, and when he finally does fight her, he's done a deal to help someone kidnap her. | |

Xenogears: The tournament and events surrounding it makes up an important chunk of the early game. There are actually two tournaments, one with humans and one as an actual "fighting game" minigame with Gears. Both are required, but you can go back to the second one later and get prizes. The human tournament is also played with- the purpose of fighting in it is to buy some time for another person. You don't have to win, but winning gives you more opportunities to stall. You can even get a unique item from one of the bosses by constantly defending and healing instead of attacking him. | |

Paper Mario: The entire third chapter of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is devoted to making one's way up the ranks in the Glitz Pit, a gladiatorial fighting arena. At least, it begins this way: the chapter takes a darker turn when you have to solve the mystery of the disappearing fighters, and by the end you've thwarted a conspiracy to steal souls. It's considered by fans to be the darkest chapter in the game. Once you've gotten to the top and beaten the chapter boss, Mario retires and his information is erased, letting you fight your way back to the top as a SideQuest- and this time, without Grubba getting in your way. Similarly, in Chapter 6 of Super Paper Mario, King Sammer insists that you win the Duel of 100, defeating 100 Sammer Guys, before he gives you the Pure Heart. Interestingly, this is widely considered the darkest chapter of this game: the Duel is interrupted by the Void devouring the Sammer Guy world before you can finish, though you can play through its entirety as an optional Side Quest after you beat the game. |

In Dragon Quest VI is a non-battle version. You have to take part in a fashion/style contest. You are required to win the first three rounds because the prize for the third round is...a carpet. It might look ordinary, but it is a de-powered Magic Carpet that needs to be "refueled". There are further rounds, which are optional but give nice prizes, including at least one of the Infinity -1 Sword variety. | |

Dragon Quest XI contains multiple examples. Your main character must act as a jockey in a horserace in Gallopolis, to help the cowardly local prince save face and advance the plot. The game features a tournament, including some of the same battles from IV, and naturally you have to enter and win, because the prize is something you need. The second-place winners also prove essential. Subverted in Gondolia, when you arrive on the eve of their spectacular "Signor Universo" competition, which seems perfectly suited for your newest party member Sylvando. But the actual event only comes up as a device to affect where the characters are and what parts of the map are accessible. |

The Elder Scrolls: Arena, the first game in the series, was originally conceived as a gladiatorial combat game. However, early in development, that idea was scratched in favor of adapting the developers' home-brew D&D setting, Tamriel, into a computer game. The fast-paced gladiatorial combat style remained, though, and Arena was much more action-oriented than other RPGs of the time. While it stops short of having an official tournament, Morrowind includes Duels To The Death in Vivec's arena in order to advance through several faction questlines, as well as one for the main quest. Great House Redoran Archmaster Bolvyn Venim must be fought either through the House Redoran questline or during the main quest, as he'll refuse to name an outlander as Hortator. Other factions with at least one arena battle include the Mages Guild (though there is a peaceful way around it), the Imperial Legion, and Great House Hlaalu (though this one doesn't have to be to the death). Oblivion has the Imperial City Arena, which is a faction questline in its own right. You can fight in battles of increasing difficulty for gold and experience, eventually being named the Grand Champion. In a Continuity Nod to Arena, in-game posters for the Arena are redrawn from Arena's box art. |

Ratchet & Clank: The Blackwater City hoverboard race tournament is briefly referred to toward the beginning of the original Ratchet and Clank. The player, sure enough, is later forced to enter and win in order to acquire an item. Every game since the first has an arena level, with at least one tournament being required to continue the game. Ratchet: Deadlocked, the fourth game in the series, is nothing but one huge tournament. |

Battle, which you have to enter as part of the plot but later opens up to free challenges- it's a 100-battle gauntlet! There's also the Pokémon Contest / Super Contest in which Pokémon are judged for their looks rather than their battling ability. You don't have to enter these to advance the plot, however they do unlock bonus items. (Replaced by Pokémon Musical, a talent contest of sorts, and Pokéstar (a Hollywood expy) in Gen V, still optional and still rewarding you with bonus stuff.) Played straight with the Pokémon World Tournament in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, where you must enter one Driftveil Tournament. Further tournaments are optional. |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VII requires Cloud to engage in a round at the Battle Arena for the enjoyment of the proprietor. Afterwards, even if you lose round one to Mooks, you receive the Plot-Necessary Item. It also has a second forced race to escape the Gold Saucer dumping grounds. You can of course return and use it to help obtain one of the Infinity +1 Sword -type spells. Final Fantasy IX holds not one, but two Inevitable Tournaments. The first being a hunting tournament that you compete in against two other party members. The second is a card tournament. Both you must participate in, but you don't need to win either, although you still need to beat the first two opponents in the card tournament. In fact, the prize you get from the hunting tournament is better if you finish second instead of first. To clarify, if Zidane (who the player controls in the tournament) wins, you get a cash prize (worthless, as you can grind for gil), If Vivi wins, you get a card (absolutely worthless, as it offers you nothing gameplay wise, just like every other card with the possible exception of one specific card that you can get without even touching the card game if you count being able to rename characters a gameplay feature). If Freya wins, you net yourself the Coral Ring, an accessory that you can't get anywhere else on Disk 1 and whose Thunder absorbing qualities just so happen to completely nullify the end-of-disk boss's most powerful single-target attack. You can also get a decent accessory for winning the final match of the card tournament, but there's plenty of other ways to get it by that point in the game. The storyline-required blitzball tournament in Final Fantasy X (seeing as the main character is a star player). Winning the tournament, however, is not. Parodied in 8-Bit Theater with Drownball, which Fighter enters while his friends are slaughtering/taking a city. Throughout the game, you can whisk yourself away at any time to play Blitzball, which has its own tournaments in the game clock. The only time you can't is when you're fugitives. Take Your Time, indeed. |

While it stops short of having an official tournament, Morrowind includes Duels To The Death in Vivec's arena in order to advance through several faction questlines, as well as one for the main quest. Great House Redoran Archmaster Bolvyn Venim must be fought either through the House Redoran questline or during the main quest, as he'll refuse to name an outlander as Hortator. Other factions with at least one arena battle include the Mages Guild (though there is a peaceful way around it), the Imperial Legion, and Great House Hlaalu (though this one doesn't have to be to the death). | |

The storyline-required blitzball tournament in Final Fantasy X (seeing as the main character is a star player). Winning the tournament, however, is not. Parodied in 8-Bit Theater with Drownball, which Fighter enters while his friends are slaughtering/taking a city. Throughout the game, you can whisk yourself away at any time to play Blitzball, which has its own tournaments in the game clock. The only time you can't is when you're fugitives. Take Your Time, indeed. |

The Legend of Dragoon contains a mandatory weapons tournament you have to enter, but can't actually win. No matter what you do in the opening rounds, you will advance (in fact, it's more fun to lose to see the ridiculous excuses they come up with to have you keep winning by default) and in the finals, you can't so much as scratch Lloyd. | |

EVE Online: Twice a year CCP, the developers, hold the Alliance Tournament. A series of matches pitting small teams from various player Alliances against each other for cash prizes and unique ships. True to the spirit of EVE, it is plagued with player corruption. There are recorded incidents of ransoms being offered. A number of fights blatantly thrown, with one side activating their ship's self-destruct mechanisms or violating the rules. In the 8th Alliance Tournament, Hydra Reloaded negotiated said match throw while the match was still being fought(albeit victory for Hydra would have been all but academic at that point). After payment Hydra activated their self destructs and "lost". | |

In Gothic, one of the reputation tasks involved in joining the Old Camp was challenging a New Camp fighter in the camp's arena; you could win or lose and still earn the arena master's respect. Otherwise averted, despite the claim the next fight isn't for a couple of days, the area is never open proper (interviews have confirmed it was purposeful, rather than cut-content). | |

Surprisingly averted in Resonance of Fate. There is an arena right next to the starting zone, but you are never required by the plot to go there. Still, completing the fights gets you oodles of scrap parts and Battle Coins that can be spent on very valuable accessories. | |

The Inevitable Tournament is one of the most important plot points in Fable. It introduces the Big Bad, reveals important backstory and gives you the opportunity to kill a friend for money! Fable also includes an optional fight club, with the catch being no armor, fists only, Final Destination! Fable II features the Crucible, though it's less of a tournament and more of a death course. However, everyone in-game refers to it as a tournament and you can be crowned Crucible Champion, so... and it's not optional, of course. |

Assassin's Creed II has one during Venice's Carnivale. It features a boxing tournament, stealing ribbons from pretty ladies, and... um... Capture the Flag. Played with in two ways: First, Ezio willingly enters the tournament as part of a Batman Gambit arranged by the local Hooker with a Heart of Gold (who's also a nun) to get a pass to a party arranged by his target; and secondly, although Ezio wins, the Carnivale organizers are bribed by the target's associates and rigs the final results. So after that, you just steal the golden mask from the guy. | |

The entire third chapter of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is devoted to making one's way up the ranks in the Glitz Pit, a gladiatorial fighting arena. At least, it begins this way: the chapter takes a darker turn when you have to solve the mystery of the disappearing fighters, and by the end you've thwarted a conspiracy to steal souls. It's considered by fans to be the darkest chapter in the game. Once you've gotten to the top and beaten the chapter boss, Mario retires and his information is erased, letting you fight your way back to the top as a SideQuest- and this time, without Grubba getting in your way. | |

Dragon Quest: The coliseum is in nearly every game and usually at least one match in it is required to progress. The Starry Nights tournament in Dragon Quest Monsters is a rather large focal point of the game, as Terry has to rise through the ranks by winning multiple 3-round tourneys to represent the GreatTree Kingdom in said competition. Notably in Dragon Quest IV, Alena has to do a solo fighting through a series of battle tournament fights in order to prevent a princess from marrying a male winner. You have to win the tournament to end her chapter. In Dragon Quest VI is a non-battle version. You have to take part in a fashion/style contest. You are required to win the first three rounds because the prize for the third round is...a carpet. It might look ordinary, but it is a de-powered Magic Carpet that needs to be "refueled". There are further rounds, which are optional but give nice prizes, including at least one of the Infinity -1 Sword variety. Dragon Quest XI contains multiple examples. Your main character must act as a jockey in a horserace in Gallopolis, to help the cowardly local prince save face and advance the plot. The game features a tournament, including some of the same battles from IV, and naturally you have to enter and win, because the prize is something you need. The second-place winners also prove essential. Subverted in Gondolia, when you arrive on the eve of their spectacular "Signor Universo" competition, which seems perfectly suited for your newest party member Sylvando. But the actual event only comes up as a device to affect where the characters are and what parts of the map are accessible. |

In Red Dead Revolver, the local "battle royale" tournament at Brimstone is foreshadowed as early as first entering the town. Some of the bar patrons even talk about it. By the time you enter town for the fifth time, the entire town is talking about the tournament and basically implying not-too-subtly that the player ought to enter. | |

Mega Man Battle Network: The elaborately titled N1 Grand Prix in Mega Man Battle Network 3. One of the main complaints against Mega Man Battle Network 4 is the fact that most of the game involves you participating in three of these... while the approaching of a potentially world ending asteroid is treated as a B plot until you become involved in it at the very end of the game. It should be noted, however, that when you do get involved at the end, it turns out that the two plots were connected all along—the asteroid is artificial and has an onboard computer, and they needed to find the best NetBattler to connect to it via a giant laser and stop it from hitting Earth, hence the tournament. However, it's not clear how far back this goes; it almost certainly doesn't apply to the first tournament (which was held before the scientists discovered this), and very likely only applies to the last one. |

This trope is subverted in Mega Man Star Force 3; around the beginning of the game, everybody is talking about a Wizard tournament at the mall. When you go there, however, you see that Ace has already finished it, after which the Noise Wizards attack. Considering how similar the plot of the third game was to that of Battle Network's fourth, this could arguably be construed as a Take That! to its hated predecessor. |

There is a tournament in which the player can participate, but not only is it fully optional, you can easily miss it altogether if you accidentally Follow the Plotted Line away from the place it’s being held.

BlazBlue actually has an instance where a tournament is held during Chronophantasma, with the bounty for Ragna the Bloodedge as the prize. The entire tournament was a trap to lure out Azrael, who would obviously want to fight Ragna, and he fell for it hook, line and sinker. Tsubaki went to preside over the affairs, not knowing the tournament was meant to be a trap for her, too. | |
