Greetings citizens of Illarion. I am going to start a pig ball tournament. Of course it has come to my attention that quite a few of you don't quite know what pig ball is, so I may as well explain it. Pig ball was originally created by Dyluck (Or so I hear). This tournament will have some slightly modified rules. The pig ball field is 13 meters long ((tiles)) and 6 meters wide ((also tiles)). There are two teams, each with two players. At both ends of the field there are goal areas, and the goal is to push a pig, or sheep, into this area. In any case, I can't possibly do this alone. So before teams start registering judges are need (A judge may also be on a pig ball team). The judges will be required to be at the pig ball area for the start of their assigned game(s). They will also make sure the rules are followed and keep score. At the end of the game the judge will report the score to me ((so I can post the standings)). The possible game times are:

Saturday, February 1
13:00 GMT
15:00 GMT
17:00 GMT
19:00 GMT
21:00 GMT
23:00 GMT

Sunday, February 2
1:00 GMT
3:00 GMT
5:00 GMT
13:00 GMT
15:00 GMT
17:00 GMT
19:00 GMT
21:00 GMT
23:00 GMT

Monday, February 3
1:00 GMT
3:00 GMT
5:00 GMT

If you would really like to participate, but the times are inconvenient please mention it. Not all these spaces need to be filled, they are just options for game times. Once all the judges are worked out a list of game dates will be worked out. Also, here are the exact rules (so far):

#1: No person may stand in their goal space, or the other teams goal space for more than 2 seconds. Any individual violating this rule will be removed from the playing field for 1 minute. Any individual taking advantage of the rule (walking in and out of the goal space more than 3 times in a short period of time) will also be penalized.

#2: No magic is to be used during the course of the game. Any person casting any spell (other than the healing spell) will be removed form the field for 2 minutes.

#3: No violence. In the event of an attack on any individual during play, play will be stopped and that person healed. Everything must return to where it was when play ceased before play continues.

#4: No items such as chests or vases shall be placed upon the playing surface.

((#5: In the event someone 'lags out' play will be stopped for a maximum of 3 minutes. Play continues once that person has returned and everything is where it was when play stopped. If they do not return in three minutes, play continues without them.))

#6: The first team to score 5 points will win.

#7: Teams may have more than 2 people, but only 2 members of that team will be allowed to play pig ball at one time. The members of a team may not change until that game has ended.

More rules may be added.

I am interested in being a judge, but i am too lazy to convert the times to EST . Could you please do it for me?

Eastern standard time would be -5:00.

I think i could manage to find time, but couldn't the game be closer together? It is hard to have 1 game every 2 hours.

sounds like fun

These are closer to blocks of games. Most pig ball games last only 10-25 minutes.

So can i be a referee?

(( Serpardum deleted as was not RP ))

same goes for guriks avatar

Reduce the size of your avatar.

You obviously deleted my avatar, and also, i don't know how

You can simply use paint, and just cut the edges off the picture so you just have the middle or the part you want.

Serpardum (hope its the right spelling ) reduced the size for me. I just had to add it on.

It looks good.

((Baah, here I am thinking people are showing intrest in the event but they are busy having a conversation on avatars... I'd also like to mention that this is the RPG board, and you better correct that quickly before GMcFly rips through here deleting everything.)) Anyone can be a judge Paul, or at least almost anyone. You fall in the the anyone category, so yes, you can be a judge.

((oops forgot this is the RPG category)) I am not anyone! I am someone! What time do i show up?

((oh right hehe Fly forgot bout him, hasn't been deleting posts with his usual vigour lately, eh?)) Pigball! Bah! I was terrible at that game. I guess the animals just don't like me.

The animals don't like me much because i burn them when no one is looking . Have to love magic
