Return to St. Andrew visits Bavaria

TOURNAMENT RULES

  • One hour maze battle (using roped trees).
  • 10 minute break in the middle, so it will be 25 min fighting, 10 min break, 25 min fighting, added to that, time for Semi’s and Finals.
  • All fighters fighting simultaneously.
  • Single fights only…no melee, no 2 on 1, etc
  • You find an unengaged fighter and fight.  You can also try to avoid engagement, but you cant refuse an advance.  Your strategy is your own.
  • Intent to engage must be communicated prior to fight (shield tap, verbal cue, etc)
  • When fighting, if damage occurs, loss of leg or arm, the fight must be concluded.  Otherwise, disengage at will.
  • No aggressive shoving, shield pressing, yeeting peeps into the rope, etc. Think Birka.
  • Defeated fighter reports scores to MOL (2 points for win, 1 point for loss) then returns to maze…Winner stays in maze and finds someone to fight, or lays low, or socializes in the Tavern…yup we got a Tavern! (more trees and rope so don’t get too excited lol)
  • Double kills: both report, both get 1 point.
  • Wounds are NOT retained.  If you win a fight, but in the process you lost a limb or more, you regain use of limbs once fight is over.
  • When reporting to MOL, declare name/number of winner first, then your name and number second.  Wait to be dismissed to ensure your score is registered. Again, think Birka.
  • Weapons: Bring your best.  Extra weapons would be helpful for the finals.
  • No fighting over or under ropes.  If a rope breaks, and I endevor to see that not happen, call a hold and it will be fixed.
  • All holds will be general
  • There will be an Award for Best Death decided on by Their Excellencies.  Only deaths occurring in the “Arena” portion of the maze will be judged.
  • Tavern: There will be a “Tavern” accessible only from inside the maze.  There will be gatorade, water, pickles, pickle juice, cups, and straws.  Enter at any time before, during, or after the tourney and avail yourself.  There is no fighting inside the Tavern.
  • Fighters from outside our borders can participate, but not earn Champions title.  Title goes to the Baronial citizen that advances the farthest in the tourney.
  • Semi finals will consist of 3 fighters with the top 3 scores.  The fourth slot will be a Wildcard.  Wildcard will be a Ragnarok format fight (all fighters in the ‘arena’, bring your best, last fighter standing).  Once the 4 have been established, they will pair off and fight Best of 3, bring your best.  Final 2 will fight best of five…Wheel of Doom!  Baroness spins, matched weapons.
