1. Equipment Rules

• Only real pens are allowed (ballpoint, gel, ink, fountain, etc.).

• Pens can have grips, rubber parts, and metal bodies — all are allowed.

• Customization is banned — you must use the pen as it was originally made (no taping, adding weights, or modifications).

• No pencils, sticks, fake objects, or disguised weapons allowed.

• No "multi-pen monsters" — connecting two or more pens together is banned.

2. Setup Rules

• Play on a flat, hard surface like a desk or table.

• Players must place their pen either in the middle or at the corner of their own side of the table.

3. Flicking Rules

• Players must take turns flicking — no flicking out of turn.

• Flicks are infinite — the match continues until one pen falls off (no flick limit per match, only one flick per turn).

• Flicking must be done using only your finger, preferably using your nail to strike the pen.

• A single touch of the nail to the pen counts as one turn.

• Only one flick per turn is allowed — no double flicks.

• You cannot touch the opponent’s pen or the table with your hand or body before flicking.

• No pushing the table, shaking it, or blowing air to move pens.

Special Rule: First Flick Rule

• On the first flick of the match, you are NOT allowed to knock the opponent’s pen off the table.

• If a player knocks the pen off on the first flick, they will receive:

  • 1 penalty point (opponent gains a point).

  • Opponent gets the next turn immediately.

4. Out of Bounds (Edge) Rule

• If a pen hangs halfway off the table but doesn’t fall, the match continues.

• You can still try to flick it off on your next turn.

5. Winning Rules

• You win if you knock the opponent’s pen off the table (after the first flick).

• If both pens fall off at the same time, it is considered a draw, and a rematch is played.

6. Special Match Types (Optional Fun Modes)

Match Type Description

1v1 Duel Standard match (Best of 3 or 5)

Battle Royal 3 - 8 players, last pen standing wins

Pen tag Teams of 2, alternate flicks

Speed Round 5 - 10 seconds max to flick each turns (Fast Thinking)

7. Respect and Sportsmanship

• After every match, players must tap pens together once, like a handshake (similar to chess players).

• Matches are played in a "Best of 3" or "Best of 5" format to decide the final winner.

• If a player keeps winning without losing a single round, they earn the special title: "Flawless Victory" Champion

 
8. Freestyle Mode (Optional)

• In Freestyle Mode, players can create and agree upon custom rules before the match begins.

• All players must agree clearly to the new rules before starting.

• Freestyle matches can modify or ignore any standard rules (example: using two flicks per turn, larger tables, special obstacles, etc.).

• If no agreement is made on a rule, the Official Pen Fight Rules apply by default.

• Freestyle matches are for fun and experimentation and do not affect official rankings or Flawless Victory titles.

# Rank Progression System

There will be ranks classified as follows:

• E-Rank to D-Rank: 3 Flawless Wins

• D-Rank to C-Rank: 5 Flawless Wins

• C-Rank to B-Rank: 7 Flawless Wins

• B-Rank to A-Rank: 10 Flawless Wins

• A-Rank to S-Rank: 15 Flawless Wins

Leveling Up

• Players can level up only by winning flawless victories.

          Example:

o If an E-Rank player wins 3 flawless matches, they will promote to D-Rank.

o If an A-Rank player wins 15 flawless matches, they will promote to S-Rank.

Rank Decrease for Losing

• The losing player will not experience any rank decrease unless they lose flawlessly (no rounds won).

          Example:

o If a C-Rank player loses completely (losing all rounds), they will decrease to D-Rank.

o If an A-Rank player loses completely (no rounds won), they will decrease to B-Rank.

No Rank Change for Regular Wins or Losses

• If a player does not achieve a flawless victory (meaning they win or lose with some rounds), their rank remains unchanged.
