Drow Rugby - March Madness

From HollowWiki
This is not another writing competition.

The Basics

The in-character story and the out-of-character mechanics are separate.

In Character Out of Character
Drow Rugby: Every March, slaves representing the various drow houses compete in an annual drow Rugby Tournament in the Trist’oth Arena for the glory and entertainment of their masters. It's a classic knock-out style tournament, which in drow rugby is quite literal, awarding points to the team which manages to knock out an opponent on the other team. The tournament's LVP (least valuable player) is drawn and quartered during the closing ceremony.
  • Four conferences:
    • Kelay
    • Frostmaw
    • Gualon
    • Trist'oth.
  • Eight teams per conference. Each team is a Hollow truism or common experience or struggle. Mostly, they're Hollow jokes.
  • Each week, you vote on the winner. It's a sort of Hollow-themed 'which would you rather'. The way you justify your vote is completely up to you.


The Bracket

The bracket will be updated each week after tallying votes.
