RULES

Administrative
​

winning prize

tba​

Wagering
- Done through hosted stand

The spectators as well as the participants are free to place bets on the outcome of a battle.
Participants, currently jousting are only allowed to place bets on themselves for the match.

Contracts or agreements that one party should fail between on purpose will cause the disqualification of both participants. Entrance fees will not be returned.

Reason: Its an event for valor, so fight honorably

The Jousting​

Points
To win a match you need to gain 3 points from your opponent
The following is mainly for RP and will be dropped if the amount of participants is too high in order to assure that the event 'won't take forever'
Hint: Get a lot of either Axe, or Swords skill

Feather's fly​

​

Instant win, explanation for this and the others will follow​

Head (foul)​

​

- 1 Point​

Chest​

​

2 points​

Arms and legs​

​

1 point

I originally wanted to try out the rules above (which are basically from an anime) as they sounded fun( and they probably are), though I think they are a bit anticlimactic; Plus there'd be instances where someone successfully dismounts someone and would get a foul just because of bad luck with the roll. Another problem is that they will take - a lot of time and the joust is scheduled before the summoning - Rules will thus be the following:
Dismounting an opponent
1 Point
Dismounting through hitting the horse
- 1 (foul)

First to reach 3 points wins, however a two point difference is needed.

Weapons

Lances only, the use of swords or axes or even bows is forbidden and will lead to disqualification for honorless acts.
The entrance fee will not be returned should you be disqualified due to the use of lethal weaponry.​

Horses
Participation is only allowed from the back of a horse. You are free to bring your own horse.
Should you not be in possession of a horse, there will be a possibility to buy a horse in advance.
Sharing a horse is, due to the nature of this event, not possible.​

Clarification since I got asked:

The only thing known to public is that there is a tournament; nothing regarding Valor is known

 

[BarbarianGaming]

So is there going to be an application format any time soon?

 

[DraconDarknight]

The arena is almost done btw and has been tested yesterday - screen will come in later.

[Michcat]

Nice! Might there be a date for this?

 

[DraconDarknight]

Well I got an exam next week so I will be a bit exhausted in the week following it;
So I'd say with preparations and doing advertisements I'd like to do it on Friday 25th if you can make it
Still need to calculate the exact time though since its scheduled to take a few hours (With the tournament and the following RP stuff)
