Template:Konohagakure/Crystal Competition/Rules


 * 1) Participants may only issue challenges to those of the same rank, or of a higher rank. They can however, accept challenges from those ranked lower than they are. That being said, Kages are capable of entering the competition themselves.
 * 2) Challenges may be refused on OOC-grounds (such as a distinct disagreement against one's powers). Challenges IC-wise however, can only be distinctively refused by the challenged escaping the challenger, who may utilize abilities to otherwise force the challenged to accept the challenge (so basically, challenges cannot be turned down unless there are OOC-conflicts between players).
 * 3) When a challenge is accepted, both competitors must show their accumulated crystal(s) to each other; the victor of the challenge obtains all of them.
 * 4) Challenges may be issued to participants (who hold at least one crystal) even when they lack any crystal(s) at all. That being said, losing all your crystals doesn't mean that you've lost your right to participate in the competition, just go out there and hoard another!
 * 5) Owned crystals do not need to be kept on the participant's person, and may be hidden in various places across the village. They must not however, be stored inside of private residences (i.e. dwellings), inside of a scroll or pocket dimension.
 * 6) Killing your opponent is forbidden. Incapacitating them is the limit. If they are left in an unfit position to move, then it is your responsibility to relocate them to the hospital.
 * 7) You must remain inside the village for the duration of the competition. If you wish to leave the village, your crystals will be confiscated, and may be redeemed later on upon returning. Attempting to evade having one's own crystals confiscated upon departing the village, will result in the character's immediate disqualification.
