This FRIDAY, 2/25/14Â @ 10 PM EST the Closed Tournament for the Grindstone will have its first trial run. The roster is open to individuals who:
-Have participated in one Grindstone event on Saturdays
-Have been invited by an Overseer or has challenged/been challenged by an Overseer to a trial duel.
The trial duel will be an inspection of how realistically you use your more advanced character techniques to assure that there will be no conflict in the official tournament. You will be evaluated by your Overseer and you -must- be open to constructive criticism and improvement. If you are denied, you are free to reschedule and attempt entry again.
There are a few changes:
1. In order to participate in the Closed Tournament you MUST fulfill both of the above requirements.
2. The Closed Tournament will track the wins/losses of all its fighters for in character purposes.
3. Enhancement magic and abilities -ARE- allowed (i.e. chakra, fortification, speed increase, dragon soul, beast within, bardic songs, etc. etc.)
4. Healing is still -NOT- allowed.
5. Offensive magic is tentative.
6. Firearms, non-lethal poisons, and other accessory weapons or substances with temporary effects (blinding powder, etc.) are allowed.
7. Assistance from any individual or summon (faeries, carbuncle, egi, etc.) is strictly prohibited.
8. Fighters MUST be capable of restraining themselves. If necessary, wards will be applied to the fights to prevent potentially devastating moves to have lethal effects, but in essence the fighters must be disciplined.

The outlines above are subject to change as necessary.
