Boxing Tournament!



Let the games.. Begin!

It was the first event of the Olympic Games, boxing. With it being the first game it was always going to be unsure of how many would take part as only two had put their names down previously. But as the time came closer to eight, the people started to roll in and eight brave brawlers had put themselves foward to battle it out for Gold! The eight competitors were; Lord Gurney of Skara Brae, Jackal Verilax of Buc's Den, Hoagie Grayner and Kal Shadowhand of Cove, Lord Elliot Heath, Thaur Macil and Phil Lynx of Vesper, and Theoden Westaman for the Veeties.

The rules were simple: The only weapons allowed were your fists. Each fight was split into three rounds of thirty seconds. If there was no knockout after the three round, the judge - Baron Deacon van Cocidius - was to choose the winner based on the most punches landed.


The first rounds worked out like this;

Lord Gurney [CS-B] vs. Theoden Westaman [VTC]
Round 1 - Lord Gurney
Round 2 - Lord Gurney
Round 3 - Lord Gurney
Victor - Lord Gurney!


Jackal Verilax [-B-] vs. Hoagie Grayner [BoC]
Round 1 - Hoagie
Round 2 - Jackal
Round 3 - Jackal
Victor - Jackal Verilax!


Kal Shadowhand [BoC] vs. Thaur Macil [-V-]
Round 1 - Thaur
Round 2 - Thaur
Round 3 - Thaur
Victor - Thaur Macil!


Phil Lynx [-V-] vs. Elliot Heath [-V-]
Round 1 - Elliot
Round 2 - Phil
Round 3 - Elliot
Victor - Elliot Heath!


Semi-Finals

Lord Gurney [CS-B] vs. Thaur [-V-]
Round 1 - Gurney
Round 2 - Gurney
Round 3 - Gurney
Victor - Gurney!


Jackal Verilax [-B-] vs. Elliot Heath [-V-]
Round 1 - Elliot
Round 2 - Elliot
Round 3 - Elliot


So we had Lord Gurney of Skara Brae versus Lord Elliot Heath of Vesper - Battle of the Nobles. We also had Jackal and Thaur to battle it out for Bronze!

BATTLE FOR THIRD!

Jackal Verilax [-B-] vs. Thaur Macil [-V-]
Round 1 - Jackal
Round 2 - Thaur
Round 3 - Jackal
Winner of Bronze - Jackal Verilax!



The final was a great match, Gurney and Elliot had dominated throughout the tournemant and it was hard to pick a favourite. This match consisted of one round of five minutes, winner would be decided by knockout or most hits landed.

FINAL!




The Final Showdown!

Lord Gurney [CS-B] vs. Lord Elliot Heath [-V-]
Winner of Gold - Elliot Heath!
Winner of Silver - Gurney!



So what do these results do for the overall scoreboard?

Pos. - Team - Score
1. Vesper 3pts
2. Skara Brae 2pts
3. Buc's Den 1pts

So Vesper take an early lead, but it's still all to play for with neither Trinsic nor Yew making an appearance yet!
