Rules for the WinterFest Sparring Contest
1. Each spar will be four posts each . . . alternating posts . . . first post of spar to be done by reverse alphabetical order, i.e. the warrior who's name is closest to the letter Z will have the first post.
2. Each warrior will start with 10 points....points to be taken away based on the quality of the posts and the warrior with the most points left will be the winner of the spar and move on to the next round.
3. Each warrior may use up to three weapons including quivas, plus a shield or helm if desired. No other weapons will be permitted and of course no armor.
4. This contest will be judged on the basis of realism, i.e. the skill of the warriors and only that. There are to be no killing nor permanently disabling blows and all blows and wounds Must be accepted, evaded or blocked. The choice is yours, but what ever you choose, it must flow correctly, be reasonable, connect to the prior post and work with the rest of your moves. Obviously, the number of wounds will have nothing to do with the judge's decision.
4a. a Post will consist of NO MORE than 5 actions.... this includes any combinations of Movement, Attacks, and Defence....
Movements include but are not limited to
-closing to melee range and looking for an opening.....
-moving back out of Combat and reading Yourself the next attack.....
-changing weapons.....
-changing Your Postion after attacking to attack again....
-getting out of the way of an attack
Attacks include but are Not limited to...
-Hitting or attempting to hit with a weapon
-hitting or attempting to hit with a shield
-kicks, punches, leg sweeps, head butts, etc
-using blood, sand, or another foreign substance to blind
Defence includes but is not limited to....
-parries with a weapon
-blocks with a shield
-ducking or getting out of the way of an attack
...accepting a wound is NOT an action...
5. A word of caution here: Blocking and evading takes more skill that just typing in "Ouch, that hurt" and then engaging to continue with your attack. Accepting all blows is an easy way to go, but in this contest it will show the least skill, so be careful what you do. Conversely, blocking and or evading all blows in an equally simplistic manner will also cost you points.
6. Visualize your position and the stated position of your opponent. Know where your hands, feet, weapons and opponent are and be clear in what you say. Continue painting the picture from the prior post, but only your part of the picture, do not post Your opponents moves. If you are going to block or evade a blow, describe how you manage this and make sure it fits what has come before and what follows.
7. The results of each spar will be forwarded to each combatant and posted to the WinterFest Page…(see link at Bottom of Page)
8. Posts should be made in a timely manner and their length kept under control, perferably no more than 10 lines in each post.
9. If any are booted during a spar they will have 15 minutes to get back and post. If for some reason they cannot, the spar goes to their opponent.
10. Make sure your pics, and java are off and your cache clear.It works Better this way....
11. Warriors wishing to enter the contest will need to notify WinterFest Central before __Nov28 midnight__ so that I may determine the pairings which will be posted on the WinterFest Page and the Gor message Board. Combatants will be contacted with their bout By ICQ or email as well if possible
12. The winner will be awarded the grand prize of a Custom Built weapon of His/Her choice and a nifty plaque showing that They Won/Kicked Butt
All Spars will Be judged By Jarl Kurzon……Good luck to All.
