Stage 7: Swords Regular

[Random McChanse]

It's back to the Arena for more dueling!

But first, a few changes, from feedback to the rules...

The ERS system will be applied to this stage: at the end of the stage, the median duels fought out of all the participants will be measured; those who have that number of duels or more qualify for 3 or 4 Tour Points and 2 or 1 Swords Points, and those who have less qualify for 1 or 2 Tour Points, based on PDPD (the stage winner will get 5 Tour Points and 3 Swords Points, of course). Single-duel participants will no longer receive a Tour Point for participation; everyone must duel at least twice to be counted in the standings.

So, what you're fighting for is as follows:

Winner: 5 Tour Points, 3 Swords Points, and 1000 Nobles
Top Bracket Above Cut: 4 Tour Points, 2 Swords Points
Bottom Bracket Above Cut: 3 Tour Points, 1 Swords Point
Top Bracket Below Cut: 2 Tour Points
Bottom Bracket Below Cut: 1 Tour Point

Also, Beat Random has been suspended, at least for the second round of Swords, Fists, and Magic stages. The first Magic stage will feature it, but not after.

Instead, a Tour Point will be awarded to the Tour participant who fights the most duels with non-Tour participants, to keep those of us not in the Tour from being excluded from participation in RoH duels entirely.

Have fun, and good luck to you all!
