Please see the initial announcement for more information.

Register by speaking to Commander Keel at the fighting pit section of the Jollier Fairgrounds (outskirts of Skara Brae, 56°9′ S 36°4′ W), between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. CDT. There will be a gate inside the Brit. Counselor Hall. Please join the chat channel “EM Event”.

The actual event begins at 8 p.m. CDT. I will then call four players at a time into the large enclosure. Enter the large enclosure and stand outside a fighting pit. Do NOT enter your pit yet! Trained (invisible) handlers will be wrangling the monsters into place.

When all four monsters are in place, I will say, in chat, “READY”, “SET”, “START!”. You may then enter your fighting pit and immediately begin battle. If you enter your pit before start is called, I will try to drag you out before you interact with the monster. If I cannot in time or if it is your second false start, you will be disqualified.

The person who kills his/her monster fastest wins that heat. After the first round of heats, the winners, four at a time, will compete. And so on, until the winner of the final heat is declared winner of the PvM Autumn Tournament.

During the match, there will be healers posted equidistant from each pit. If you die, you may res and return to the fight. It’s fastest time to kill the monster that counts, not whether you die a few times on the way. You are, however, responsible for looting your own corpse.
