Titans of Winter Tournament 2016

From HollowWiki

Titans of Winter

Frostmaw's fifth annual tournament is set to begin! Given that this tournament is part of the Thy Kingdom Come arc, it is being hosted by Balgruuf and not Hildegarde. As is traditional, duel locations will not be revealed until an hour prior to the duel, so no duelist has an unfair advantage over the other and to maintain an element of surprise. It is possible that, like in previous tournaments, there will be enhanced environmental effects.


Rules and Details

  • Tournament will be single elimination rounds.
  • No entry fee required.
  • The duel dates and times will be announced days prior to allow duelists and watchers to prepare. Any scheduling issues need to be sorted before the day of the duel, and no-shows will be DQ'd while a possible Back-up Entrant takes their place.
  • The location for each duel will be announced at least one hour prior to the duel beginning, but any environmental effects will only be announced just before the duel is set to begin. This is not intended to give one side or the other advantages, but provide an additional challenge in the spirit of dueling.
  • Duels will be the traditional 3 rounds and final defense, with either 10 or 15 minute rounds as agreed by duelists.
  • All duels will be posted on the Wiki, please record and send your duels to Hildegarde if she is not present for it.
  • Duelists will be required to find their judges on time for the duel, so once you have agreed a date with your partner, it is advised that you begin to search for judges. NB, it is important that you and your opponent agree on judges. If you cannot agree on your judges, please inform Hildegarde ASAP. If none are available that you can agree on, it is suggested to begin the duel, record all posting times, and send it to judges afterward. Hildegarde intends to be available during each duel and is willing to judge.
  • Duelists are allowed to add further stakes to their duels if they so desire. If no additional stakes are agreed upon, 'auto-hit round to the winner is the default stakes.
  • Guests may organize betting pools if they so desire.
  • RP from and within the audience is permitted and encouraged! It goes without saying, of course, that the audience should not interact with the duelists for the sake of fairness.
