Sunday, May 3rd Location: Forest Clearing (The Outback on Rings of Honor) Time: 8:00pm EST

A forest clearing, not too far away from the one used for the previous night's festivities, has been transformed for the Great Stag Tournament. Much of the grassy area has been torn up, replaced by bubbling, feet sucking, liquidy, deep, warm mud. http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8397/8876977298_b0b01b3cab_m.jpghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Hidden-Beach-Mud-Pit-06.JPG

A series of platforms in the trees, connected with walkways, are set up for both callers and observers of the action below, hopefully far enough away from the mud splash zone. The platforms and walkways can be reached by a series of ladders or a set of stairs. The callers" platform is particularly posh with pillows and cushions scattered about for them to lounge upon. http://media.treehugger.com/assets/images/2011/10/baumraum-icon.jpg.644x0_q100_crop-smart.jpghttp://www.treehousedesignplans.com/images/open_treehouse.jpghttps://farm7.staticflickr.com/6017/5988771979_8555874121_o.jpghttp://patongdining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/The-Tree-House.jpg

One of the larger platforms is dedicated to a bar area, fully stocked and surrounded by some tables and chairs. http://www.natgeocreative.com/comp/04/629/1522580.jpghttp://www.pugdundeesafaris.com/html/images/tree/tree_slider_big2.jpg

For the fighters, there are some shower heads (magically run but unfortunately only set up to produce icy cold water) arranged amongst a thick patch of trees away from the mudpit.





((For tournament rules and to sign-up, please see this thread. This is an ALL RANKS tournament. What does that mean' If you've never even thought about trying Duel of Fists before, this tournament is for YOU! If you've been slugging it out in the Outback for years? This tournament is for YOU!

For outfits and all that jazz, feel free to post here!

Note: This event is going to be on Rings of Honor. If you do not have an account there, it is really really easy to make one because they have a cloning tool that will clone your RDI profile! Super neat.))

As soon as she sees the mud, her shoes and socks are coming off. No way she is getting those trainers muddy.
