Roleplay:The Blitz Pit World Tournament ~2013/The First Round

"Laaadiieees aand Gentlemeeeen! The World Tournament is about to begin!" The MC shouted into the speaker. The audience roared with excitement, filling the large dome with cheers and shouts for their favorite fighters. The announcer stood on a large, square platform in the middle of room. The platform was made up of traditional stone tiles of a dusty tan color. Down on the ground surrounding the ring was a floor of sand, and the short walls surrounding the area separated it from the audience. There are stairs on both sides of the ring for the opposing fighters to enter.

"Our opponents have been chosen! But before that, let's go over our rules!" The MC cleared his throat as he held up a sheet of paper to read aloud.

"This is a one-on-one, last man standing battle of strength and endurance. The goal is to knock your opponent unconscious, or otherwise render them incapable of fighting back. Those downed will have a 10 second countdown to stand back up, before disqualification. Anyone who lands outside the ring will also be disqualified.

If you must fight with a weapon, then please use a simple, non-lethal one if possible. There will be no weapons with the risk of immediately killing your opponent; Guns are especially taboo. If you should unfortunately kill your opponent, you will be disqualified. Please also try to fight with your own strength; No power boosting items allowed."

The MC adjusted his glasses, slightly. "And also, please try not to pull any hair, ears, tails, or noses. You'll be called out on those offenses as a foul. Three fouls and you're disqualified."

(IMPORTANT NOTICE: Instances of godmodding will also count as fouls.)

"And that's it! Now, let's bring out our opponents!" The announcer shouted with excitement.
