The Arena is off limits to unauthorized PvP 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the event. This is to ensure that the contestants and spectators are safe. Spectators shall remain seated and not casting during the match. Any spell casting shall be considered aimed at a participant, and either harmful or helpful to someone in the match. Anyone who casts any spells (including Bard songs) during a match can be death touched and removed from the Arena. Spectators shall not use /shout for any reason, but use /ooc instead. This is so that those involved in the match can use /shout, and the /ooc channel can be turned off to reduce distraction to the contestants involved. Use of /shout at anytime can result in a silence command being issued, rendering the player unable to use any form of communication, or banishment from the Arena. Spectators shall not interfere with this event. Severe penalties are used only when directly attacking a player involved in the match, attacking a judge during the match, or healing a player involved in a match. The P99 staff may limit the amount of people in the zone to control conditions of lag or frame rate for the participants. The event shall start open seating, but may close off at any time. The Event Staff may use any sort of decision on who stays and who leaves to ensure the event is a success. This should not be implemented until a minimum of 150 players in the zone has been reached. AoE Spells ARE allowed in game. This has the potential of killing off some of the younger spectators. If you are killed by one of these spells, please wait for a GM or Guide to give you a summons into the Arena. General Combatant Rules The top of the throne, in the throne, or behind the throne is off limits to the combatants during the matches. The four firepots are also off limits to the combatants. Use of these areas in match combat will lead to contestants being disqualified. Starting positions are allowed anywhere that is legal (meaning not on the throne or in firepots) that is on your half of the tiles. All participants will be debuffed before the match. Weapons with the following spell effects attached to them will not be allowed in Best of the Best Series; Knockback, Fear, Invisibility, and Shrink.

The following spell types may not be used in any of the Best of the Best Series: Any form of Fear or Charm unless directed at a pet. Any type of Blind spells Gravity Flux or Invert Gravity Any type of gate or translocation spell (Example shadowstep) The following item types will not be allowed in the Best of the Best Series: Any type of Artifact items Any type of regeneration effect items. (Example Fungi Tunic) The event staff, Due to the amount of contestants, may decide to split the combat area in half. The arena in this case will be divided making two battle areas for 2 matches to be performed at one time. In the event that the combat exceeds 15 minutes of real time, then the Event Staff may cast an AoE Snare spell on the contestants, and the contestants are to remain snared till end of match. The owner of the account must play the character, no "Ringers" will be allowed. Any use of exploits or bugs will result in immediate disqualification from the event.

Title for the 2nd place will be be the level 56 title and 3rd place will get the level 51. A 30-second buffing period will be given before direct combat in the match. All Armors and Weapons available to the contestant's class will be allowed. Unless it has an effect stated in General Combat rules as unusable. All spells are allowed during this event. Unless stated to be Disallowed in General Combat rules. These rules were used in the BoTB matches on live. Some servers did a few things differently, but this is the guide lines we will follow. http://web.archive.org/web/200304062..._april2001.jsp ================================================== Class Rules Wizard: No Gflux or Invert Gravity No Thunder Strike (Large Knockback) No Right clicks No Meleeing/Throwing If there is proof given that wizards were able to use their Epic right click, it will be allowed.

Question I guess for Paladins:
Is Lay of Hands going to be reset for each duel? I think it needs to be either allowed and reset for each duel or disallowed. If it is allowed and not reset this would give pretty much an automatic win to anyone that has a bye (or depending on your seed -- Going first and then waiting a full hour so your Lay of Hands is reset while the next bracket winners is not.) | ||

Wizards were not allowed to melee in the original BotB, it was a shoot out. Is that the case here too?

I recall on my server during wizard botb, a wizard winning their match due to melee. They both ran out of mana, and one wizard was knocked out, the other smacked them and Lady D declared them the winner. I guess this is a grey area since some servers allowed a slight deviation to rules.
As for Lay of Hands, it should be the same as the disciplines for the other melee. It's your choice to either use it, or save it. Paladin Blind: I haven't been able to find anything about allowing Blind to be used. All rule sets state no blind spells at all. If you can find something that says otherwise we can allow it. | ||
