*TURF WAR 13 (TW13) RULES* (revision 9-7-22-WS)

Starting Jan, right after the FTF, T453 (10 turns)
Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47) arena.

Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each alliance must:
1. Indicate in the newsletter or on the RSI site the three team alliance.
(3 Team names and 3 manager names and an alliance title)
2. Pay RSI or deduct from account ($15) per manager as entry fee
indicating for TW13. (a change from past TWs)
RSI will hold as “certs” in a separate account for TW13
RSI will distribute as Team RUs to winners of TW13
DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators.
Must be completed prior to Dec 31, 2022
3. The teams must be listed in the DM452 NL in order to compete.
(The warriors must be listed to allow challenging for TW turn 1)

Other rules and discussion.)
1. Only one (1) team per manager/player may be active in the arena.
2. If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team, whether a 2nd team or a non-TW manager’s team, in the arena is aiding and/or abetting any TW alliance or team, the affected points won by the gifted team/alliance will be disallowed and the aiding non-TW team will be asked to desist from play in the arena until after the Turf War concludes.
3. As usual, any Turf War team must be shown/be posted in the DM47 Newsletter just prior(T452)to the actual scoring/participation start on T453. (e.g. New teams, transfers, current teams must show up in the newsletter prior to the beginning of participation, allowing opponent knowledge and challenging/avoiding.) Violations will result in immediate manager disqualification (including team point adjustments) from the Turf War (so be sure to take any multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance and be certain not to run any other team warriors.
4. The moderators will score the Turf War and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions will be final. (Note: the intent is to have a very thorough set of rules so that few decisions, if any, are required from the moderators.)
5. Definitions:
Team = individual Manager’s Stable
Alliance = three Teams united
6. No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or death in a tournament or graduation. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any point and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.)
7. It is not the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors.
8. Downchallenges:
A downchallenge = a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser recognition points.
No challenge or bloodfeud by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges.
9. Tournament participation is allowed and encouraged as a great form of acclaim and recognition for North Fork and is an opportunity for warriors to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf War.
10. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with Alliance A. If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf War with Team A.
11. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty. However, only one win against a D.A. Monster per each stable warrior shall count as a win. Additional wins will count as a loss for that warrior.
12. It is highly recommended that managers direct RSI to place your team ON MAINTENANCE for the TW13 duration so that your team will fight (and earn points) even if your submitted new strategies are delayed or don’t make it

I'm down to join if a team is looking for a 3rd.

I'm still looking to join a team if anyone is looking. Paradox, maybe you and I need to look for a 3rd if everyone else has teamed up.

At the moment, only two teams have announced.

Looks like maybe a 2/3 also.
