CBL - THE COVIAN BOXING LEAGUE

I. The Covian Boxing League - What's that all about?

The Covian Boxing League is an organization within Cove and stands outside the ranks of the Army and Citizenship. The League has its own ranking system and honours.

Boxers all around Sosaria will come to Cove to spread their knowledge and wisdom of the art and are more than willing to share their experience with the younger members of the community. Techniques and tricks are discussed regularly.

Exercises and educational lectures are conducted regularly to increase the vast knowledge that lays within the art of boxing. As a member becomes more knowledgeable in certain arts they will have the merit to pass their knowledge on and thus rising in rank and importance.

If you are a boxer at heart, the boxing league is something for you!

Anyone, friend or foe, that holds any interest of boxing at all is welcome to participate in the trainings and lectures. Citizens or guardsmen alike are welcome!

IV. CBL - What is the league structure?

• Head coach - one of the League owners, also any other person entitled this way by owners of the League. Maintains the quality of League trainings, analyzes progress of boxers, and, of course, organizes funding and special events, such as tournaments or duels.
  
• Personal Coach - Person which takes care about development of a specific boxer (or boxers, if needed). Has a great knowledge of boxer's weaknesses and positive features. Every boxer can become a PC, if he will prove his knowledge in the art of boxing, is skilled enough, and has needed experience to train other boxers on their way to Championship.
  
• Boxers - Basically the League is all about them - their development both physical and psychical way.
• Staff - generally speaking, all persons needed in the background to sustain the activity of the CBL - cleaners, medics, assistants etc

V. CBL - What are the rules?

Fighters use:

• A kilt (dyed, given to a member upon joining) (during trainings)
• Blue/Red kilt (during tournaments)
• Sandals
• Plain leather boxing gloves

Any other clothing is allowed only before or after the fight for decorative purposes and general show-off. Each boxer will be provided with plain clothes to be used for outdoor training sessions.

The Fight
Each fight, even a training one lasts for 3 rounds, 90 seconds each.
During the break between rounds, no healing is allowed, except for a single use of a lesser healing potion. No magery, nor bandaids - only self recovery!

During the fight there will be 3 judges present to note legal punches and point taking, and unless a KO has been dealt, decide the victor of the match.

[OOC]The judges will judge everything OOC based on role playing ability. So if another boxer power-emotes or avoids punches throughout the match the victor will most obviously be the other boxer. This is ALL about role play and having fun.

A boxing has a bigger chance of winning a fight the more experience points he has. What type of boxers that are facing each other plays a big part as well. A slugger will have a bigger chance of winning against an in-fighter, and the judges will take this into consideration when judging a fight. Judges will also judge more in favour of the one with most experience points.]

Usage of any illegal additives is forbidden, and leads to disqualification from a fight, and can even lead to ban from the CBL!
Illegal additives:

• Nightshade
• Petals of Trinsic Rose
• Strength potions

Before each fight a blood test will take place.

[OOC]It's all about RP fun. You can take such things just before fight, in a place when IC chars can't see you, but the actual players do. Before fight each fighter will roll two dices. If the sum will be below 12, you have failed the test. If you haven't took any 'drugs', outcome of test is always 'clear'.]

CBL Ranking System

Points given for a fight are the same as above:

• Fight WON: 1.5

* points are awarded even for a lost fight, because it also adds to boxer's experience.
