2002 Goat Cup Tournament

The 2002 Wizzes Goat Cup Tournament will begin at the end of January. In this Tournament, Wizzes resume a mortal persona and fight each other to the death for the honor of becoming this year's Goat Cup Champion. The Goat Cup is conducted in 5 Rounds: the Qualifying Round, the Elimination Round, the Quarter-Final Round, the Semi-Final Round, and the Final Round. A Wild Card Round may also be conducted.

In addition, this year's Tournament will begin with a special Pre-Game Event. In this event, teams of your favorite (or not-so-favorite) wizzes will compete in a Capture the Flag-type game. This will take place on Saturday, January 26th at 2 PM EST.

All players are invited to watch the Tournament! If you would like to watch your favorite (or not-so-favorite) wizzes take on their fellow Contestants, please review the schedule of fighting.

The Goat Cup Tournament is conducted under strict rules for the Contestants to ensure a fair test of ability. To this end, spectators are also required to observe certain rules. Please read and become familiar with the following requirements of Mortal Spectators. Any Mortal not following the stated Rules will be ejected from the Tournament promptly.

Rules for Mortal Spectators

• Mortals will be required to stay in the King's Treasure Chamber in the Dwarfen Citadel during the Rounds and in the Druid Treasure Chamber during the Pre-Game Event. The Official Announcer will summon Mortals who wish to watch the Tournament and give them play-by-play.
• Mortals are not permitted to interact in ANY way with the contestants. This includes shouting and private conversations. Mortals are also prohibited from speaking with wizzes other than the Official Announcer assigned to give them the play-by-play of the fights. The Announcer will notify Mortals that shouting, or engaging in any other disruptive activity will result in a ban. The Official Announcer and/or the Goat Cup Judge enforce such bans as needed. An opportunity to congratulate the winner will be given at the conclusion of the fighting.
• Mortals who do not wish to watch the Tournament will be invited to return to MUD/British Legends at a later time. Mortals may not play during the Tournament. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes you; however, please keep in mind that the Goat Cup Tournament occurs only once a year and will provide some rousing entertainment for those choosing to watch!

Thank you,

The Goat Cup Judges Panel
