Tournament Rules:

1. The order set before the Mega Cast will determine the order in which the spells are considered to have been casted. The first round will go 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, the second will go 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-1, etc. This will determine, in the case of more than one person attacking a single dueler, who finishes casting a spell first in the round.

2. Each player will send in two spells - one primary spell and one secondary spell. The primary spell must also have a name sent along with it- that is the person the spell will be directed against. If a different caster than the one sent attacks the caster, the secondary spell is used on that person. Any other spells on that dueler work automatically, as it is assumed that the attacks are coming in from too many angles for the attacked to be able to try and stop them all. Note: If two casters direct their attacks at each other, then it's figured out like a normal duel - match the moves on the matrix.

3. Offensive or defensive spells can be used as either primary or secondary spell.

4. After a spell is selected, two more must be used before the first can be picked again. Thus, if a mage bolt is used as one's primary attack in a round, it can be used as a secondary attack in the next (i.e. Round 1- magebolt vs name/ foul fog , Round 2- wizard blades vs name/mage bolt is acceptable). However, if it is used as a secondary attack, a full round must pass before it can be used again. Yes, this means that a round consists of two spells.

5. You will have sixty seconds to decide your spells for the next round and send them in. This rule will be enforced as well as possible. The reason for this is that it isn't a round-to-round fight, per se, where the casters get to reset between rounds. This is a battle of pure energy, where everyone is pretty much casting for the whole duel; to take five minutes between spells would slow the Cast to a complete crawl, especially considering that it will take the caller a minute or longer to tally up the scores and start the call, plus the time involved in the opening round(s) of action... this'll be a pretty long event.

6. Each character will have ten points to start, their stamina, so to speak. Each hit takes off one point, each advantage scored against half a point. Once a character loses all their points, they tire to the point where they can't control magic anymore to effectively cast a spell. The backlash of that last unsuccessful spell or that last hit will zap that caster from the ring.

7. All ranks are elgegible to enter.

8. All casters are limited to the eight (8) basic spells for the duration of the tournament.

9. Participation is limited 16 casters.

This thing went off without a hitch and about as well as anyone could have hoped. There was a small, yet spunky, bunch of duelists that comepeted in this thing. Querylon, Azjah, Matt Simon, Lem, and Liena Hope all showed up and duked it out in a ring.

Everyone started off tentatively at first. It seemed as if people didn't want anyone to stay too healthy and made sure that each of the competitors took a few shorts before working Lem over to the brink of elimination. But Azjah took a storm of shots in three consecutive rounds to be the first eliminated in round 14. Querylon was eliminated shortly thereafter in round 16.

The final three kept at it for a few more rounds before Liena ran out of gas in round 20. And Lem's luck ran out the very next round leaving Matt Simon the winner of this Megacast!

As a side note, there will be another Megacast held August 21st in the RDI. Hope to see everyone there.
