*official TURF WAR 14 (TW14) RULES* (revision 9-6-24-WS)

Starting Feb 10/T480 (appx date), just after the FTF,(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 TW14. (a change from past TWs)
RSI will hold as “certs” in a separate account for TW14
RSI will distribute as Team RUs to winners of TW14
DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators.
Must be completed prior to Dec 31, 2024
3. Teams and alliances will not start scoring until the turn after
they appear in the newsletter and are announced. This means that
to start scoring on turn 1, the teams must be listed in the newsletter
on Turn 479.

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/demanded 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 to the actual scoring/participation start on T480. (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 could 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 5-Team 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 TW14 duration so that your team will fight (and earn points) even if your submitted new strategies are delayed or don’t make it

_____________________________________________________________________
SCORING will be as follows for Fights:
Team Points
b. Wins earned;
0 = -1 points
1 = +1 point
2 = +2 points
3 = +4 points
4 = +6 points
5 = =8 points
c. Down Challenge = (-10) points (opponent is credited with a win for point
scoring.) (DM is exempt from DC rule/penalty
d. Four teams will score. (The lowest scoring team per round will count
duplicate as the 4th team.
e. Team with most wins per round earns 3 additional points
(If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)
Alliance Points

Couple of Rule clarification please.

This upcoming turn that runs on 1/13 I have all 5 warriors running but I DA'd one of them. Can I run that new rollup in the jan face as a rookie? Or does he have to fight turn 1 and be "seen" by all first?

Also, my teammate DA'd someone this past turn and got a new rollup. Can he hold him out till turn 1 so he can fight in rookies? Or does he have to run him this next turn 1/13 and get 1FE before he can fight him in the arena?

Thanks!
