The rules of the tournament were pretty straight forward: Each team having a total of four players, belonging to different awakened classes and ranks. The match takes place on an elevated platform above the huge pit of sand in the arena.
Players use controlled, non-lethal abilities to hit opponents with projectiles aiming to knock them off the platform or even engage in one on one malee combat in aim to knock the opposition's player off the platform to the sand below.
Players are eliminated if they fall off the the platform and into the sand. A team wins a round by knocking all opponents out or by holding the advantage when time runs out.
If the score is tied after regulation, a one on one sudden death duel decides the winner. Lethal attacks are strictly forbidden and foul play such as outside interference are being penalized.
"Please tell me that is not a real sword you have on you there… Zed." I said to the new arrival as the platform we stood on started to rise slowly.
