OK, first off profuse apologies to Future since I'm so blantanly copying his game here, but I'm enjoying the Legion version hugely so it only seems fair that the Titans get their turn too.
So it's exactly the same principal as Future's Legion version. Male/female teams of Titans competeing in various tests minus their powers. Training and natural skills/abilities still count but nothing other than that. Points are awarded on a weighted basis, the lowest total score at the end of each round leaves the game. I'll probably do a new round every five days, but that might be give or take a day or so.
Now the only problem I had here was coming up with even teams of boys and girls. Loads of guys to include, harder to pick the girls. So I've gone for the more well known characters and left out lots. As such the starting ten of each are:
The Boys: Nightwing, Arsenal, Flash (Wally), Tempest, Robin (Tim), Kid Flash (Bart), Superboy (Kon), Changeling, Cyborg and Gren Lantern (Kyle).
The Girls: Troia, Jesse Quick, Wonder Girl (Cassie), Starfire, Raven, Bumblebee, Lilith/Omen, Rose Wilson, Supergirl (Mae) and Harlequin/Joker's Daughter.
All players are their current incarnation (given that Troia and Lilith are dead and Supergirl is MIA).
ROUND 1
Lets keep things simple to start with. Taking place in the Titans Tower gymnasium it's nothing more complicated than a game of Dodge Ball, boys against girls. The winner of each side is the boy/girl that stays in the game longest (you'll have to assume that the game ends with only one of each left). So who manages to stay standing the longest as well as knock out the opposing team? To add an extra insentive to it all at the very end of the game it's the last boy and last girl against each other. The one that wins over-all gets an extra five points added to their score, which may give tham an advantage later in the game.
Superman is acting as referee for this game, so there'll be no cheating. Let the games begin...

Bevis, have no worries about doing your own Battle of the Sexes spin-off! I love the idea of throwing in the Titans and am honored that you like the inital game so much. Now, on to dodgeball!

Thanks for letting me copy you Future. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say.
Bizarrely my own list is completely different from yours. See, my thinking was that without there powers the speedsters wouldn't automatically be any good at being quick at dodging or anything. So...
the boys:
1) Arsenal (he's got the speed and the training not only to avoid the balls but to hit everyone else too. Plus while not actually cheating he'd play dirty, which is why he just edges out the second place contender, which is...) 2) Nightwing (he has the agility and the training. Plus he's an acrobat and the whole batarang thing must take the kind of co-ordination that would make him a good shot) 3) Robin (for the same reason as Nightwing, just with less experience) 4) Cyborg 5) Tempest 6) Changeling 7) Flash (because he'd probably still be quite good without his speed) 8) Green Lantern 9) Superboy (aww, come on. He's been shown to be a bit of a klutz in the past) 10) Kid Flash (no super speed and he *still* doesn't have the concentration of co-ordination you need to win this game)
and the girls:
1) Troia (amazon training and all. Even without powers she's quick, nimble and has been trained in things like archery and javeline throwing which probably makes her at least nightwing's equal in this game if not Arsenal's) 2) Rose Wilson 3) Harlequin (both Rose and Harlequin are nippy and nimble and maybe not the most lethal at knocking the boys out of the game but probably darn good at avoiding the balls themselves) 4) Starfire 5) Supergirl 6) Wonder Girl 7) Bumble Bee 8) Jesse Quick (same as with Wally m'fraid) 9) Lilith 10) Raven

Oh, and the over-all winner for me would be.... erm... ooh... I think it's going to be a very tight run thing, but it'd be Arsenal. Troia has the stamina and the ability but without her powers she'd be at a slight disadvatage to Roy even with her Amazon training.

As much as I disliked her I think Starfire would win as she was shown to be a very competent athlete on Paradise Island and had training by the Okaarans.
If memory serves correctly didn't she win loads of competitions on Paradise Island?

Starfire certainly does have similar training to Donna, but I think Donna has the edge over her because she doesn't rely on her powers so much.
But if you want your points to count I need an order of the ten for both the boys and girls...

My logic was that some of the skilled warriors, like Starfire, would be great in avoiding balls and tagging people out...but since it's a team effort they usually lead themselves wide open at some point to be pegged by the other team when they go to throw. Generally the really strong, offensive players get tagged out faster and more often than the wallflowers who just dodge the ball when I've played.
As for Flash, he's lost his speed-powers so much he has to be naturally swift SOMEHOW now to fight.

Round 1 is over, and we have the winners. Clearly not having powers to start with was an advantage in this game, especially for the boys. Amongst the girls surprisingly some of the big hitters didn't do as well as expected and the less fancied players took a surprise lead. As for the results they are:
So after a close fight we wave goodbye to Kid Flash and Raven, two of the big name Titans out at the earliest possible stage.
As for the over-all winner it came down to Arsenal, Robin and Troia, with Robin just going out before the other two. However with Troia and Arsenal drawing on points total it comes down to the highest number of 10 points, which leaves Troia (with two 10s against Arsenal's one) as the over-all winner and the taker of the extra 5 points, pushing her total this round up to 32.
The next round wil follow shortly after the players have a quick break

After the physical test of the first round it's time to test the Titan's artistic abilities. The girls are probably going to be more pleased by this round than the boys, but that doesn't mean they've automatically got the upper hand.
Everyone knows that for a hero image is hugely important. And a large part of that image is how you dress. Almost all of the contestants at one time or another have designed their own outfits, but now it's time to see how good they are at designing for others.
This round takes place in the very centre of Harvey Nichols in London. The task is for each Titan to design an outfit for one of the two judges, who will then award points to those that they think are the best and the most flattering. As in the first round an extra five points is available to the over-all winner, whose outfit will also then be made up for the judge chosen to wear.
Obviously the judges need to be familiar to the fashion world so please welcome Fire and Vixen.
The contestants are:
Arsenal Changeling Cyborg Flash Green Lantern Nightwing Robin Superboy Tempest
Bumblebee Harlequin Jesse Quick Lilith Rose Wilson Strafire Supergirl Troia Wonder Girl
So ladies and gentlemen, pick up your pencils and start designing...

You know, from the first two rounds so far I could see Harlequin actually making it to the final. Who'da thunk it? Anyway, as for my own votes:
the boys:
1) Green Lantern (as IB says, he's an artist and a comic book artist at that so he knows what he's doing when it comes to designing costumes) 2) Changeling (he strikes me as being arty, and also his background in film might give him an advantage) 3) Tempest (didn't he design his black and red outfit? I think he's probably got a good eye for aesthetics too) 4) Superboy 5) Robin 6) Arsenal (he's had some *bad* outfits, but he's designing for the ladies here so he'd probably come up with something interesting at least) 7) Flash 8) Cyborg 9) Nightwing (Ok, so his current outfit is quite nice but some of the others he's had, both as Robin and Nightwing, have been truly awful.)
and the girls:
1) Supergirl (like Kyle, she's an artist) 2) Harlequin (I agree with IB's logic on this one) 3) Lilith (she was a go-go dancer wasn't she? OK so her own big cloak thing wasn't exactly cutting edge but I think she'd dress others well) 4) Troia (had enough costumes of her own to know what does and doesn't work) 5) Wonder Girl 6) Rose Wilson 7) Jesse Quick (the whole Q boob thing. Not good.) 8) Starfire (again, hardly the best dresser out there unless you have a thing for metal bikinis) 9) Bumblebee (well, if her own outfit is anything to go by she's likely to design something pretty ugly)

Damn, forgot the over-all winner again. I go for Supergirl this round since Kyle is possibly a better designer but is also likely to design something less practicle whereas Linda has the advantage of knowing what works for the female figure.

Gents: 01. Green Lantern (Artist) 02. Changeling (Slightly artistic from all the animal forms he perfectly mimics) 03. Arsenal 04. Nightwing 05. Tempest 06. Robin (Not his area of expertise) 07.

Ladies: 01. Lilith (Hey, she might surprise us all since she wore her own duds until the 90s) 02. Supergirl (Artist) 03. Harlequin (Crazy costumes and would likely come up with insane, yet pleasing retro designs) 04. Troia 05. Jesse Quick (I can see her on the Apprentice, heading a design team for this) 06. Bumblebee 07. Wonder Girl (Cassie) 08. Starfire (Never had time for such things) 09. Rose Wilson
