Rat Wars

Order of the White Rose Rat Wars Finals

Rat Wars are the finals hosted by the Order of the White Rose within Zoluren, which allows entrants of all races and guilds with fighting rats who are coming from all provinces within Elanthia to compete for prizes. Up to four qualifiers called Rodent Rabble #1-4 will determine who will be in the finals. Rats are divided into 5 divisions, and are reassessed before every fight, to determine division placement. Once a rat qualifies with its handler, it remains qualified with that same handler, but may be moved to a different division based on its upgrades.

Rules

Division Registration Reqs:

• Contestants must register by the deadline or forfeit their chance to compete in that night's fights.

• Contestants will one by one drop their rat when instructed to determine what division they will compete in.

• Contestants' rats will fight until one of them retreats and jumps back into their sack, ending the battle. If more than two rats are in any match, the order of their retreat will determine their order of finish.

• Winners of each division will Roshambo, or choose numbers, to determine the order of prize selection.
