PvP Tourney Rules

*GETTING THERE*
This event is in Fel, and there is a rune locked down at the castle.

To start the fight participants will be called to the fighting area, the ref will ask you to flag on him (this means attacking the ref so both people are grey, in this way murder counts can`t be given). If the duel is a long one, and someone goes blue, don`t give counts, giving counts at this event could lead to you being removed from the stone. A wall of stone will be cast, and once it drops, you can buff and drink pots. From this point following the rules, which are posted further down here, you try to make you opponent go OOooOOoo.
