***** BOXING TOURNAMENT *****
![](http://i.imgur.com/xKMV9zN.jpg)
This event will be very similar to the duel tournaments we've done, so those of you who have attended them before will already have a good idea of how this goes. The format of this tournament will be pretty much identical, however the combat itself will be much different. The only abilities allowed are the 4 unarmed legacy attacks -- punch, jab, uppercut, and bash. Also, fighters will be 100% ungeared and no buffs/stims/etc will be allowed. This is a completely barebones melee fight.
If you wish to participate, please read over the information below. There is no sign-up required -- just show up at the event on time and ready to fight.
***For those of you who are unfamiliar with these legacy punch abilities or don't understand how to "box" in SWTOR***
I've made a brief guide explaining how you get these abilities and how they work in fights. It's extremely simple and anyone can do it, regardless of experience or skill level.
LOTTERY TICKET PER KNOCKOUT:
In addition to the prizes for the main event, we will also be awarding a free lottery ticket for every single round you win! So even if you only win a single round and get knocked out of the tournament in your first match, you'll still walk away with a free chance at winning the very large lottery jackpot. Win more rounds and earn more chances at winning the lottery!
Also, feel free to try winning some money betting with guildies on the outcome of matches. This is intended to be a gambling event, so don't hesitate to jump in and start making bets with people.
FIGHTER RULES:
Breaking any of these rules will result in an instant loss for that round.
SPECTATOR RULES:
Breaking any of these rules will result in your removal from the stronghold -- and a ban if it continues.
As usual, we will do some /roll giveaways at the end. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this, we will simply have a few categories of prizes that eligible members can /roll on. Those with the highest roll numbers will win prizes. The categories + requirements for this event's giveaways are listed below.
Prizes will be announced after finalizing our decision. They will most likely be Cartel Market items.
Note: The winner of the lottery jackpot, the 2 fighters from the main event, and all of the officers will NOT be permitted to participate in these rolls.
Snuggles would like to do a short game afterwards. Said game will feature a free Energized Infantry Set for the prize.
How it works: We group up down by the boxing match area and have everyone stand on the balcony. A huttball stand will need to be placed by the balcony as well. Everyone for hot potato will line up around the balcony. You must stay in place and you CAN'T hold on to the huttball, use the throw huttball as soon as you get it. You're out if you do this, no prize. Last person standing wins, and we get to enjoy watching people fly off the balcony that get eliminated occasionally.

PROCEDURE:
- The tournament will be in single-elimination format. If you lose you're out of the tournament. If you win you'll fight against others who won their matches as well. This will continue until only one person is left - the person who won all their matches. They will be the champion. Basically, it's last man standing.
- Matches will consist of 3 rounds. Rounds are won by taking down your opponent before they take you down. Win 2 of 3 rounds and you'll move on to fight again in the next tier of matches. (The final round, aka the main event, will be 7 rounds.)
- The fights will take place inside the makeshift boxing ring in our stronghold's casino. This is a circular ring with an 8m diameter that fighters will not be able to slip through or get stuck on. See screenshot above.
- Those who wish to fight in the tournament will be invited to an ops group and randomly matched up against another participant. The officer in charge of coordinating matches will direct fighters in and out of the ring when it is their turn to fight. When your turn comes, you must quickly get to your corner of the ring -- either frogdog or rotworm. When the coordinator gives the go-ahead to fight, you will initiate the duel.
- Once the fight starts, start throwing punches and get your opponent down. Your goal is to get them all the way down to 0% HP before they get you. If you get your opponent down, return to your corner and wait for the referee to get your opponent back up for the next round.
- Due to the fact that duels are currently bugged, defeating your opponent will kill them. Rezzing to medcenter takes you upstairs to the load-in area of the NS stronghold but the boxing ring is downstairs in the casino. So if you get killed, do NOT rez to medcenter -- otherwise we will waste too much time waiting for people to run back between rounds. Simple type "/surrender" into chat and one of the referees will revive you so you can heal up and start the next round. (You must type /surrender because dying does not end the duel and you cannot be revived while in a duel.)
- There will be 2 officers serving as referees -- 1 for each fighter. They will keep their designated fighter targeted and watch them closely throughout the match to ensure they do not break any of the rules. This will ensure the fights are fair and nobody has to worry about cheating. They will also inspect players for gear and buffs prior to each round + revive downed fighters.
RULES:
FIGHTER RULES:
Breaking any of these rules will result in an instant loss for that round.
- No gear allowed: Every single gear slot must be empty. This includes all weapons, armor, relics, implants, and earpieces.
- No buffs allowed: Before your match starts, you must click off every single buff you have. This includes class buffs, spec buffs, stims, and even sprint. Your buff bar must be 100% empty.
- No abilities allowed, except for the 4 legacy punches: This includes all attacks, heals, defensives, leaps/rolls, stealth, knockbacks, stuns, slows, etc. If it is not called Punch, Jab, Uppercut, or Bash, you are not allowed to use it.
- No leaving the ring: You must remain inside the ring for the entire duration of your match.
- Do not revive at medcenter: If you get knocked out, do NOT revive to medcenter. As stated above, this wastes too much time. Type "/surrender" and wait for a referee to revive you.
SPECTATOR RULES:
Breaking any of these rules will result in your removal from the stronghold -- and a ban if it continues.
- Do not enter the ring, stand on the sides of the ring, or right up against the sides of the ring: The fights will be recorded and we do not need people interfering with the camera's view or other spectators' views. The referees also need to clearly see their fighters.
- Do not stand on the minefield markers or the armor rack placed near the ring: These decos are there for recorders + referees to have a better view of what's going on.
- Do not spam AoEs or place any markers/flags/holotrees/etc inside of the ring: Again, this interferes with the view.
- Do not flood chat with spam or emotes so that people cannot see announcements.
- Be aware of the stronghold capacity: If we hit the stronghold's maximum capacity of 50 people we will kick people who are not participating in the tournament and/or have not purchased lottery tickets, to make room for those who are/have. (Starting with lowest ranks first) It would be unfair to exclude people who actually bought tickets or want to fight, while including people who are strictly watching. I don't anticipate this being an issue though, just take it as a warning.
***** LOTTERY DRAW *****

After we've finished the tournament, we will do the draw for the lottery jackpot. As this post regarding the lottery explains, this is when I will use the random number generator to select the winning number. Whichever ticket number is closest to that winning number will win the entire jackpot amount. Obviously all tickets must be purchased before this point. We will not delay the draw for people to buy tickets at the last minute.
Have you bought tickets? Check here. Remember, 100k credits isn't that much for a shot at winning a jackpot this big. Plus more tickets = bigger jackpot! (Tickets can be purchased from anyone at Caporegime, Underboss, Consigliere, or Godfather rank. Alternatively, you can mail the cost of the tickets to "Ticket-seller")
