The tournaments will be held in an EM-owned house in Felucca. Fighting or thieving in or outside of the house will result in banishment. Spectators welcomed. Gates to the house will be provided at most major town moongates.
There will be two separate competitions. One for mages and one for dexxers (archers and melee).

Lanterns aren't necessary unless agreed on by both duelists
Dexxers -
