The Leaderboard
After four months' of hybernation and inactivity, house d'Ortonnaise proudly announces the return of the Regalian Duelist League proper. The goal of the league is nothing more than to host fair duels of sportsmanship and compatriotship, and to tally their results for an overarching Regalian leaderboard.
Rules of Participation in the League:
Any eligible combatant needs only to pen a letter to the board of the league filling out this simple form:
IGN:
Character Name:
Combat School:
Proficiency level:
They will then be added to the leader-board starting from the bottom, from where they may advance to the top freely through duels.
How to fight a duel?
Simply PM any of the board members when they are online, or send them a forum/skype/discord/facebook/twitter/pigeon post/owl message to arrange for a fight. These don't have to be public events. Most duels will be arranged either in the Fang's Throng, or in the Mitau Palace grounds. ICly, these duels are fought with blunted, practice weapons and armour where applicable.
Additionally, grander events will be held where multiple fights will be hosted in succession with additional entertainment on site for the audience.
The current board members are:
Adrienne d'Ortonnaise @Lady_Ortonnaise (Leader of the board)
Ser Edouard Lambert @R_O_B_E_rt (IG EternallyRobX)
To become a board member, address the leader of the board, Adrienne d'Ortonnaise. The only requirement to become a board member is to be capable of hosting and moderating duels.
Eligibility:
To compete, one has to be:
1. First-Class citizen
2. If not a first class citizen, be part of the Regalian Army
3. Be eligible for concealed carry of a weapon (no criminal background)
4. Acknowledge the rules of competition
You don't need a character application!
Rules of Competition:
1. All duels have to take place on a site legally sanctioned for sparring with dull weapons.
2. All duels have to be overseen and judged by a member of the board.
3. No duelist may conceal their identity.
4. Breach of the rules of competition draws the consequences of being removed and banned from the leader-board and reported to the Regalian Guard authorities.
5. Defeating someone below on the ladder grants two points in the tournament, defeating someone on the same level grants three, defeating someone above grants five. A tie grants one point to the less-prestigious competitor, or if both competitors have the same overall score, no points at all. All duels award a single point to both participants if no rules are breached during the spar.
6. Regalian law has to be followed before, during and after duels. Duelists are removed from the board if they are found to have committed an act of crime, and this is communicated to the board leader. Return to the board and restoration of the score is only possible through a letter of approval by the Lord Commander.
Rules of duels:
1. No opponent may be struck on the ground. Bringing an opponent to the ground grants victory.
2. No strike may be dealt against the groin or the back of the head for reasons of safety.
3. Leaving the defined area of the duel grants the opponent victory.
4. Disarming an opponent grants a victory.
5. Striking the opponent three times grants a victory.
5. Attacks are not only counted until the first strike in a cross of blades, they continue until a holdup is achieved.
6. Any participant may yield at any point during the duel, at which point the opponent has to stop as soon as possible, earning a victory.
OOC Rules of Combat:
Due to popular demand from the old incarnation of the duelist league, duel rules are completely up to participants and the judge present. The judge is present to break OOC fights and to ensure recording of the duel.
The factoring of proficiencies is completely up to the participants as well.
