There are two separate arena's set up within the tournament grounds. Large circular clearings surrounded by stands to hold the various people who will be observing the fights to come. The ground of the arena is dirt packed down hard and smooth and clear of any debris with a series of circles, with a diameter of twenty feet, marked off chalk lines indicating this is where participants are to fight. There are two black chalk lines surrounding center ring about five apart denoting where contests are to start.
This is the Sport Arena denoted by the blue banners flying around the perimeter. To one side is a viewing area where participants can view the prizes to remind themselves what they are fighting for besides glory. The viewing area is surrounded by wards and guards so it is unlikely, indeed nearly impossible to dream of stealing the prize before the competition.
Inside is, of course, three chests filled with large sums of gold. These take-up space around the true prizes.
The trophy that will be rewarded to the person with the most victories is a silver blade when the tournament is completed the blade will have their name emblazoned on it to commemorate their victory for all time. It sits in a prominent position in a display case.
The Cieltherium ring that will be awarded to the winner sits on a cushion on top of raised pedestal next to the silver blade. It pulses with a palpable magical power.

In Character Rules:
- Only swords are allowed in the sport bracket, the total length of the weapon cannot exceed one and a half meters or fall below forty centimeters. Your sword must be declared at registration where it will be temporarily warded to be nonlethal, while it can still draw blood it will stop short if it is about to inflict a mortal wound.
- Strikes can only be made against your opponent with your blade, this means no hitting with fists, legs, foreheads, etc.
- Do not step outside the boundaries of the ring, if a participant steps outside the boundary of the ring then both participants will reset to center.
- No magic permitted, be it enchantments or spells. All participants will be given a ring that prevents the wearer from casting any spells or accessing any magical abilities.
- Only humanoid contestants are permitted.
Breaking any of the first rules earn you a strike, your opponent successfully hitting you earns you a strike when you have accrued three strikes you lose the match.
If there are five or fewer participants the tournament will be done round robin style with everyone fighting against everyone else at least once.
If there are six or more participants the tournament will be done in a traditional bracket style with two losses resulting in disqualification. Out of Character Rules:
- In the sport tier combat is decided by dice roll, each participant rolls from a range of one to twenty, twice. The first roll is your attack roll the second your defense roll. If your attack roll is equal to or greater than your opponent's defense roll then you successfully scored a hit. If your defense roll is greater than your opponents attack roll then you successfully deflected the hit. This, of course, applies to your opponent as well and you should write your posts accordingly.
- Do not edit your posts to change you dice roll, or delete your post then repost for a better dice roll. If you are caught doing so then you will be disqualified.
- Remember to tag or quote your opponent in your post, failure to do so will earn you a strike.
Prizes:
The participant with the most wins will receive a trophy, a sum of 1,000 gold coins, and an enchanted Cieltherium ring that heals the bearers wounds.
The participant with the second most wins will receive 500 gold coins

Raoul Ferdinand
Dedicated
King of Prospernalia
Roleplay posts: 235 
Physical Description: Tall and lean, with his dark, unkempt hair and dark blue eyes, Raul cuts a striking figure. He has strong, broad shoulders and long limbs, obviously accustomed to hard work.
Clothes and Equipment: He typically wears rough, sturdy clothing, stained with dust from the road, and several days' worth of stubble. Despite this, his equipment is immaculately maintained, the mark of a man that lives and dies by his tools. His primary weapon seems to be a large recurved bow, a composite of horn and wood so powerful that it requires extraordinary strength to string, or even pull. He also carries several harpoons, perhaps for hunting large game. His heavy, scaled armor is woven with protective wards.

Raoul stepped into the ring, rolling his shoulders and bouncing lightly on the balls of his feet to loosen up. He looked across to @banditkelly and saluted her with his rapier. He took up a relaxed stance, turned in profile with his left hand on his hip. He held the sword low, with his right arm slightly bent so the point angled upward towards his opponent’s face and waited for the signal to begin.
Attack:
zJ14ry6s1-20
Defense:
1-20
1-20·1-20
