Ost Forod Arena

FIGHTING CONTEST RULES ((OOC))

This is an rp fighting contest event.

With apologies and respects to all our elf  roleplayers, no elves  would be accepted to participate in the fights.

Participants will be devided into fighting pairs.

The winner of each fight proceeds to the next round.

Each fight can conclude up to 8 emotes for each participant (to a total of 16 for both) so the fights will have a reasonable length and not last for ever.

Participants are expected to be in a fellowship together along  with a referee. The fight's result will be decided upon a single /roll at the beggining of the fight.

All participants are considered equal in strength, there will be no modifications for the /roll result, unless BOTH  contesting players agree on using such a modification.

All melee weapons and armour are allowed. If both players wish for a brawl then they can fight without weapons.

You are kindly requested to consider well your character's abilities and equipment before joining the contest.  This is majorly a male rp-character contest. Participation of female characters will only be considered if they actually roleplay a warrior character. Ladies please don't come to fight in a dress.

For the duration of the event the area of the Arena and the settlement of Ost Forod are considered guarded. Please do not disturb the fights during the contest.

Visitors are expected to enter the Arena from the south gate. Contestants and the referee will enter from the east gate.

The winning prizes will be in-game gold

Bets won't be in in-game gold. You can bet on the fighter you wish at the referee before the fight begins and after the names of the contesting pair are announced.

The people who plan to take part as referees or contestants, healers are requested to contact Rinni oocly,  through in-game or LA mail or /tell  before the beginning of the event (Oct 15th, 8 uk time) so the pairs of contestants will be arranged.
