BSD Ruleset for Group vs Group Matches.
Update: Banners have been requested to be removed by several people. This is being discussed further.
Armor/Weapons
Any armor/talismans etc.. is fine.
Spells/Abilities
Anything is fine. Including self rez etc..
Consumables
Anything goes, including but not limited to: Armor pots, Liniments, banners, rez pots.
*Note: If you cannot afford these items, we will see what we can do to get anything you need at cost for matches if notified ahead of time.
Arena Zone
The Maw: Everything between the outer walls and the inner keep. No one enters the inner keep and no one goes up on the outer walls. Everything else is part of the zone and you may use any obstacles or open area as you see fit.
Start/Reset area:
-Order team starts outside the fort at the middle door in South Maw.
-Destruction team starts outside the fort at the door in North Maw.
*More forts may be added to this as they are checked out/tested.
Winning Criteria
A match, at least for preliminary rounds will be win 2 out of 3 games. Finals may be 3 out of 5.
To win a game, you need to wipe the other group completely. You will be told when you have won.
Time Limits for preperation
When your group is reset back in the starting area between matches, you have 3 minutes to rebuff and be ready for the start call. There is no respeccing/leaving the zone between matches. Any longer cooldowns is not a concern during this phase and will not be accomodated.
Spectators
While I would love to have spectators, it is just too much work, so match times will be a secret and only known by the two teams scheduled to compete. It is expected that players participating would follow this rule just to keep things easier.
Match Stalemate
If teams have not engaged each other by ~5min mark, the refs may force both teams to go to a smaller area (such as the east or west side of the fort) . This will be defined better.
These are a first draft. The goals are to keep as little rules in place as possible, but still have a defined match. Now is a great time to voice any concerns and issues you feel might come up, and we can try to head off as many things as possible.
