The Meatgrindah

➊ Registration.

• Registration will open at the allotted time only. Registration opens and closes very quickly. Pay attention.

• No pre-registration is permitted.

• Send an IM to the Referee, along with the full announcement you desire the Referee to produce for your entry. No more than two sentences!

• Registration is on a first come first served basis. If you have not provided your announcement in your IM, then you forfeit your place.

• An announcement example: "From the misty mountains of The Jade Lotus Empire comes a swordsman of great skill! Tsuki!"

• If you have competed in a match previously that day, then you may have to allow others to compete in the next match in the same day. Fresh players will take priority.

• If you won a Meatgrindah already that day, you may not participate in the next one.

➋ Initiative and team order

• Meatgrinder matches consist of 6-8 players.

• An initiative roll at the beginning of the match will decide turn order. It will also decide which team each player is on. 

• The highest initiative roll will be Team Ⓐ. The second highest will be Team Ⓑ. This will alternate for every player until completed.

• There is only two teams, Ⓐ & Ⓑ of equal numbers. 

• The [SCORECARD] will announce the turn order of all players by name, with the letter of the players team listed after the name. E.G: Tsuki Ⓑ.

➌ Combat

• Team Ⓐ fights against Team Ⓑ in the turn order established by the initiative roll. 

• A Fighter must not post until their name is called by the [SCORECARD]. A Fighter has five minutes from the [SCORECARD] post to make an attack post and roll.

• If a player targets the wrong player or one of their own team, they are not permitted to reroll. Chaos and confusion is a facet of the Meatgrindah! They will incur the wrath of da Hammah by the ref rolling against the rulebreaker!

• Fighters compete until their Hit Points are reduced to 0. Then they must leave the fighting area.

• The teams compete until one of the teams is eliminated, or until only two players are left, but the fight continues. 

• Healing attempts will result in immediate disqualification.

• When only two players are left we enter the 'Final Phase.'

➍ The Final Phase & Da Hammah

• During the final phase, once two rounds have completed without a successful strike, 'The Hammer' will fall. 

• 'The Hammer' is an AOE effect cast on both fighters, which is a strike! If it is successful, the fighter will lose a Hit point. 

• The Final Phase will loop with The Hammer striking every round that the combatants don't land a hit

• The winner must pose for a picture for the victory announcement and will receive a prize!

• If The Hammer falls and both fighters are taken out, then there is no winner of the Meatgrinder for that session!

➎ Win Conditions

• When one fighter remains 

• The Hammer takes out both fighters in the final phase
