2015 Serenti Invitational Rules and Regulations

The Serenti Invitational is the oldest tournament in Althanas' known history. Dating as far back as Greythanas, Crashthanas, Tanthanas, and even the AllRPG forums, the Serenti has a knack for inspiring activity and making legends of its Champions. It is the original and only traditional one-on-one tournament that is part of the Lornian Battle Tour.

I. Registration
Registration for the Serenti is probably the simplest out of all the tournaments. Just post a reply in the registration thread with the word “Registered” included in it somewhere. The registration for the Serenti will last for 2 weeks and multiple characters are allowed in the tournament. There is a 16 player maximum.


II. Rules
a) Only registered players will be allowed to participate in this tournament. If your character has not been approved you will not be allowed to join.
b) The battles will run exactly like a Citadel battle where each fighter will be completely healed afterwards. Between each round there will be a 5-7 day rest period for judgments and updates to be posted around Althanas.
c) The first person to post will establish the setting for the battle.
d) The standard rules of battle of Althanas also apply for the duration of this tournament. This means no power gaming will be tolerated and OOC should be kept to a minimum.
