The Hour of the Wolf

Welcome one and all!

The time to prove yourself is now. Welcome to the first contest of 5 vs. 5 team based duels hosted by the ever beautiful, Ulfy. The Hour of the Wolf is a no-holds barred tournament for all to enter and fight for their honour, glory, and a big pile-o-money.

So, if you think you have what it takes, if you believe you can win big by beating all the rest...

Well, the hour of the wolf already has you.

What it Takes

Here's the things you'll need to get entry into the tournament;

A team of five people. Build diversity within the team is encouraged, and once a team has entered it may not change a member without disqualification. A team also needs to have a Team Leader; a member responsible for co-operating with the event management and for the behaviour of his/her team mates.

An entry fee. The Hour of the Wolf tournament has a nominal entry fee of 10 Globals per team member, which is 50 Globals per team. This is a not for profit event, meaning all entry fees will be paid back out to the winners of the tournament upon victory, up to a minimum payout of 500 Globals guaranteed by event management.

Free time. You need to have enough time to attend the whole event, as it will not stop of be rescheduled if you are required to leave. Your team will either have to fight one person down, or forfeit.

Warriors Code. This means adhering to the rules set out below and respect for your fellow combatants.

The Wolf's Code

The tournament itself is meant to be a fun, entertaining player versus player event with a small prize to sweeten the deal. What the event management and all concerned would like to avoid is a free-for-all of insults ignorance. To this end, please observe the rules;

Please respect the event management and follow their direction. The event is being hosted by Ulfheoinn@Ouroboros1988, Seth@Dragonrider4000 and others, they are here to keep order and make sure the event goes ahead until a winner is clear and the prize is won! The fun and safety of all participants is their main concern.

No abuse of/towards any person involved in the tournament, or more over, anyone. Event management will not tolerate unnecessary insults or harassment of anyone. If your team is found to have broken this rule, or a member of you team has, then they may stand to be disqualified from the tournament, fighting status not with-standing.

In a duel, anything goes. This includes free use of any device in the game with only one exception; event management has thought long and hard about this and has come to the conclusion that devices are in the game for a reason and the policing of their use is next to impossible in this team vs. team scenario. Banning the use of devices in this situation simply leads to arguments and accusations, most of which are impossible to substantiate or evaluate. The exception to this rule is the use of the Back-up devices such as Backup: Defender or Backup: Kinetic. These devices are not allowed.

If you have a problem of any kind, take it up with event management. Please report any issues you have in a tell to @Ourobors1988 or @Dragonrider4000 and they will try to help you. Please refrain from simply shouting out in Zone chat, as this is the only place event management can speak to all participants clearly at one time.

The Order of Battle

The Hour of the Wolf will occur on the 6th of August at 01:00 hours GMT (17:00 PST); all people wishing to enter the event will be required to turn up in their teams, with their team leader ready to enter them into the event upon arrival. There will be ten minutes for teams to arrive before the matches are drawn up and the event begins proper. Teams are asked to have a Team Name ready, they will be referred to by this name by event management.

The Hour of the Wolf will take place at Great Bear Lake in the Canadian Wilderness; a large body of frozen water directly South of Project Steelhead (Where you zone in). This area is a large open space free of the bustle of Millennium City and practically devoid of enemies, making it an ideal place to gather for the tournament.

Teams are asked to gather together with their team mates on the banks of the lake, while the centre of Great Bear Lake will be the duelling area.

Once all teams have entered into the tournament, event management will draw up an order of duels at random. The Hour of the Wolf tournament will work on a knock-out based system, winners of duels going onto the next round until only two teams are left standing.

These two teams then must fight tooth and nail for the victory and the pay-out. Lest we forget, also winning the right to call themselves the greatest fighting team in Champions Online-- until the clock chimes that hour again, and the wolf is at your door.
