CHESAPEAKE FIGHT CLUB
TOURNAMENT RULES AND METHODS
The Rules for the Chesapeake Fight Club weekly fights are as follows:
Number of Contestants Usually 8, but sometimes 16.
Type of Elimination Single Elimination, Double Elimination, Round Robin, and Match
Duration of Match 3 minutes maximum, except final round (5 minutes), or until death.
   
Method of Scoring When a health bar goes down below the center mark point, the attacker gets one point.  Care must be taken when healing; insufficient healing can cause a number of points to be acquired when health only goes slightly above the center mark point.
Determining Winner If a fighter dies, the attacker wins that round.  If the duration of the match is exceeded, the winner is the one with the most points via the method of scoring.
Allowed/Not Allowed These matches are generally anything goes except for when noted.  There are no precasting, no summoning, and no pets allowed.  Pots, Disarm, and Complaining because you lost are allowed.  You will flag on judge and wait for wall to fall.  (*added 5/14/05) No hiding, stealthing, magic fields or ninja form before wall drops.
