PathFinder Slugfest Tournament Rules: Oct 21st-31st!

Post by Jaycy Ashleana »

With the ascension of Mallory to Diamond, PathFinder has been left without a holder! What better way to find the next Green Opal holder during Orktoberfest than with a slugfest tournament in honor of our own half-orc Jake Thrash!

On the far side of the makeshift bar, as far away from the stage as possible while still remaining in punching distance for Fistmelda, a trio of makeshift rings has been cobbled together! Extra BadCider barrels have been brought in and laid on their sides in hexagons and the empty space between them filled with hay and corn husks (and whatever else patrons have thrown inside) for brawlers to fight in! Be careful not to trip over the wide barrels as you climb into these rings or in the heat of battle! An extra-large version, completely outside the realm of the lights, has been constructed so several pairs can fight at once!

This tournament will take place October 21, 2020 - October 31, 2020 during regulation dueling hours only. Duels may be fought in any sanctioned ring. All non-title holding brawlers may participate in this tournament.

Every regulation duel fought under slugfest rules (up to 8 per brawler) will count towards the final tally.

Rules? What are they! Easy. Win and win big! You’ve got up to 8 fights for this, we pick the best 4 - the biggest wins - and best point total at the end of it gets the Green Opal. Simple, right?

Want prizes? We’ve got prizes!

PathFinder - Grand Prize

Other Prizes:
  • Hard Lessons from the Diamond - Train and talk form and strategy one-on-one with the reigning Diamond, Mallory Maeda, so you can be at your best in the ring!
  • One Year’s Supply of Silver Mark Orktoberfest Lager OR Silver Mark: Blue
  • One Year’s Supply of Red Orc Brewery’s Orktoberfest Seasonal OR Broot
  • Pizza Party in the Outback (courtesy of Matt Simon)
  • Lyceum™ Fury Gym Chalk - Punch like the wind - literally! Each strike hits the air like the Furies to make your blows land faster.
Everyone gets a choice of a Mallory, Vine Mallory, or Jake Thrash bobblehead just for participating!

-----------------------
OOC Information

Per the DoF rules, only one character per player will be allowed to participate in this tournament.

Only slugfest duels fought during regulation hours will count. Regulation hours are from 8pm ET to 2am ET nightly. Do not forget that you cannot duel the same person twice in a row.

How to Slugfest for this tournament: Slugfest Rules can be found here.

When sending duel challenges to the Bot, use the following format: ?slug [room code] “DUELER NAME”

When dueling in the Orktoberfest room, send the bot results to the Outback room; the room code for the Outback is o. Three evening shifts will be hosted in the Orktoberfest room: Wednesday October 21, Monday October 26, and Wednesday October 28.

ART: The ART will be held on Saturday, November 14th. Those who duel 4 duels in this tournament will be awarded one extra modifier at the upcoming ART.

Prizes: Participants who win prizes will be DM’d on Discord to make their choices! If you win the “Hard Lessons from the Diamond” prize and would like to play it out, DM Mallory!

Scoring: Participants can duel up to 8 Slugfest duels for this event, and their best 4 scores will be counted for the final result. The participant with the highest point differential in their best 4 duels will be the winner. Fewest rounds dueled of their qualifying duels will be declared the winner. If there’s still a tie we will have a single-match slugfest duel between the two to determine a winner. If there’s more than two.. I don’t know… sack races every sunday until there’s a winner?

Example:
Goon: Win 5-1 in 6
Loss 5-4 in 11
Win 6-2 in 4
Win 6-5 in 15

Score would be: 4 - 1 + 4 + 1 = 8 in 36 rounds and would qualify for the ART bonus mod. Additionally he could still fight 4 matches in an attempt to better his score.

Gatito wins PathFinder!

A tough field of 14 brawlers (from multiple-Diamond winners to bare newbies!) spent the last several days slugging it out all over the dueling venues (including Orktoberfest) for the chance to take home PathFinder! At the end of the day, Gatito won five of his six duels (with his four best wins used for scoring) to get a match point differential of 13! Koyliak, not to be outdone, almost caught him in her 5 duels (ending up with 12 points)! Third place went to complete newcomer (or returning after forever so she might as well be new) Azriella at 7 points! Another lower rank, Neekylah Lang found herself in 4th, Doran and Caleb tied for fifth and Yuzuki closed out the qualifiers with her five duels at seventh! Haru, Gothrak, Jaycy, Kheld, Morgan LaFey, and Mart all took home bobbleheads!

Here's the point breakdown:

Prize Qualifiers*:

Gatito 13 (6 duels)
Koy 12 (5 duels)
Azriella 7 (8 duels)
Neekylah Lang -1 (6 duels)
Doran -3 (4 duels)
Caleb -3 (4 duels)
Yuzuki -8 (5 duels)

Second Bracket (in no order):

Haru -3 (2 duels)
Gothrak -5 (2 duels)
Kheldar -1 (1 duel)
Morgan LeFay -2 (2 duels)
Mart 6 (2 duels)

*((Prize qualifiers also qualify for a mod at the ART on November 14th! Additionally, while Mallory and Delahada were ineligible for prizes they did duel enough matches to qualify for the ART mod.))
