Claim the Crown Tournament Rules
All competitors take the field at once and pair off for single-sword, one-on-one duels.
The open round runs for 15 minutes.
Reporting: Each fighter is assigned to a Reeve and reports to that same Reeve after every fight. Both wins and losses must be reported so total records and winning streaks can be verified. After reporting, immediately find another available opponent.
Matchups: Fighters may not fight the same person twice in a row.
Scoring: Fighters are ranked by total wins. Winning streaks are used as the first tiebreaker.
Semifinals & Finals: At the end of 15 minutes, the top four fighters advance to a short single-elimination bracket: #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3. The winners fight one final bout. All final-round fights are single sword, one fight per matchup.
Any remaining tie for a qualifying position after streaks are checked will be settled by a single-sword elimination bout.
The winner is declared the Claim the Crown Champion!
