No scores.
No time limits.
No holds barred.

Dirty fighting, dismemberment, torturing and eviscerating an opponent is a most welcome sight, so the tournament is pretty much anything goes.

Fights will occur one at a time and registered participants as well as non-combatants in the crowd are encouraged to actively spectate.

Interrupting an ongoing sanctioned tournament fight is strictly forbidden and is grounds for disqualification or removal from the tournament grounds.

Don’t be rude or troll.

No quote towers. Snip quotes, keeping them to one quote per post if necessary. It should be obvious to the reader who is roleplaying with who based on your post content and who's going back and forth with who.

Combat etiquette—introducing the prep system:

Planning ahead or dedicating a full turn to concentrating on an attack may make that attack more effective.

-one-prep attack: mild damage - minor cuts, sprains

-two preps: moderate damage - lacerations that would require stitches; broken bones; significant damage to connective tissue; blindness

-three preps: significant damage - severe lacerations, partially severed limbs, badly broken bones, third degree burns over 35% of the body

-four preps: catastrophic damage - severed limbs, lacerations that would require dozens or even hundreds of staples or stitches, fourth degree burns

-five preps: possibly fatal

If I can think of any more rules, they will be posted here.
