Panther's Claw Tournament Rules

1) Seeding - Is going to be random for this one folks.

2) Format - To be determined at time of Tournament depending on participation.

3) Everyone will duel according to their Rank on the Standings posted at the time of the Tournament.

4) Seeding will be done no later than 15 mins after the hour and the Tournament will begin as soon as seeding is done.

5) Individual duels themselves - to win must be a full point ahead of your opponent. Please be kind and send your moves within a reasonable amount of time to the officals so the Tournament can keep moving along.

6) If at any point in time the winner of the Panther's Claw should become an Emerald, and remain one for two consecutive weeks on the standings, the Panther's Claw automatically passes to the second place runnerup in the Tournament who shall hold it unless they become an Emerald.

If the second place runnerup becomes an Emerald, and reamins one for two consecutive weeks on the standings, then the Panther's Claw automatically passes to the third runnerup in the Tournament and so on in order to keep the Panther's Claw from being held by a higher ranked character. This item is meant to be kept beneath the rank of Emerald folks.

Don't underestimate me, for when I'm working I'm super shiny and sit on a post.

And I walk on ceilings, so try to mess with that, fool.

::a box and letter is sent to Rena after the Panther's Claw Tournament, written in scratchy lettering::

To Miss Rena Cronin,

I wish to congratulate you on your victory in last night's Panther's Claw tournament. I hope that your victory will allow you to increase your ability and rank within the Duel of Fists. Here is the Panther's Claw that I have held since the last tournament.

2nd holder of the Panther's Claw (I think)

::the letter is accompanied by a carved wooden box made from the Water Tupelo tree, and inside the Panther's Claw is laid on a bed of swamp moss. The moss and box merely signify the heritage of the previous owner::

It was a lovely evening for knock-down, drag-outs folks when six hopefuls did meet in The Outback to vie for the Panther’s Claw. I had the privilege of getting to officiate for this tournament and I would be Tera Starfare of Westridge. The six hopefuls in order of seeding, which was random, were: G, Soerl, Rena, Erin, Troy, and Teagan.

First round matchups were: G vs. Teagan, Soerl vs. Troy, and Rena vs. Erin. To start off the tournament I put them all in Rask generic rings, with my own usual names, and let them have at each other. The tournament format ended up being double elimination due to participation. The first ones to score were G, Troy, and Rena in the first rounds of the first round duels. G and Teagan finished up first in 7 with G coming out the winner 5 - 1. Rena and Erin ended next in 7 with Rena taking the duel 5 - 2. Soerl and Troy were in a marathon at rd 7 with a score of 3 - 2 in Soerl’s favor. They would keep going with no score in 8 and Troy tying it up in 9 at 3 - All. Soerl took the lead back in 11 then Troy tied it up again for SUDDEN DEATH in 12! Round 13 saw them exchanging jabs to take them to 5 - All and another SUDDEN DEATH round. 14 they mirrored jumpkicks for no score to either then in round 15 Soerl brought out a chop for the win at 6 - 5.

The second round matchups were: Soerl vs. Rena on the icy RINK. Troy vs. Teagan on the huge plant FERN. G vs. Erin way up high on STYX. RINK didn’t have an opening hit, FERN was Troy and STYX was Erin this go around. Although they had no opening hit RINK still finished up first with Rena taking the win in 7 with a score of 5 - 1 against Soerl leaving her undefeated after 2 rounds and him with 1 loss so far. In FERN at round 7 Troy came up with the win which meant we said good night to Teagan at a score of 5 - 1 and we were down to 5 contenders. Up in STYX by round 6 we were at SUDDEN DEATH between G and Erin. 7 had them comparing sweeps for points to each and another SUDDEN DEATH round! In 8 Erin jabbed her way to a win with a score of 6 - 5 giving G his first loss.

Round three matchups I put them back in Rask generic rings and had Rena with a bye while G faced off against Troy and Soerl squared off against Erin. Troy got a full first point and Soerl got an advantage to begin this round of dueling folks. While G and Troy were duking it out Soerl took charge of he and Erin’s duel and never once looked back. I swear he was on fire in this go around. He took the win in the only shutout of this tournament 5 - 0 in 7 rounds which meant we said good night to Erin and Soerl advanced. G and Troy fought and fought and by 10 round they too were in SUDDEN DEATH! Round 11 neither could score and round 12 they hauled off and slugged each other right properly with jabs no less. Then in 13 they missed each other with jumpkicks so it wasn’t until G landed a chop in 14 that this one ended 6 - 5 with G advancing and us saying good night to Troy.

In the fourth round it was G that had the bye and Rena along with Soerl was up on the FERN fighting. Soerl got in first then they hit each other Rena turned around and got one in and we were tied at 2 - All. It was Soerl’s turn next as a fight broke out in the crowd!! Now as Rena blocked and then converted for a full point a couple of folks in the crowd decided to get naked! The other fights in the crowd were still going on as Rena threw a jab then followed up with a chop for the win at 5 - 3 in 10 rounds leaving only her and G left in the tournament and Soerl with Third place!

So G and so far undefeated Rena faced off in a Rask generic ring that I did name while the crowd was still way out of control!!! It was at this point I got a little distracted as the thief that had robbed me the night before strolled in pretty as you please! But G and Rena were plenty focused as they opened the duel with chops and both got points. G then hopped out to a quick 3 - 1 lead in the first 3 rounds but in round 4 Rena jabbed him to make it 3 - 2. She then again turned around and followed up with a chop to tie it up and went on to flip G to pull ahead in round 6 at 4 - 2. Round 7 saw Rena remain undefeated and taking home first place when she swept G’s fancy duck for the 5 - 3 win which left G as our Second place in the tournament folks!

Everyone did a grand job dueling and I do believe that them that was fighting in the crowd did a grand job in their fights too from what I could see! I’m pretty sure that bills are getting sent to them that deserve to pay for broken stuff and those that took their clothing off are being fined appropriately.

Congrats to Rena the new Panther’s Claw holder!!!
