Notes from the organizer: You all know this one. Contender and Gladiator stood on opposite podia, armed with “pugil sticks”, which are apparently a real thing outside of the show, and spent half a minute trying to knock each other off. The Contender got 10 points if the Gladiator fell, and 5 if they stayed on their feet for the full 30 seconds.
It’s a Flat 9, so the scores are bound to be close if you keep your wits about you. A win gets you 10 points, and a draw or loss by ≤5 gets you 5 points.
rrrrreadyyyyy!
