Sangre y Acero * Unarmed Tournament *, Less lethal combat Options

[Simon Kerimov]

Beneath the dark streets of Tenochititlan lie the bloodiest pit-fighting dens in the Sixth World. Unaugmented metahumans rarely last long in the gore-stained arenas, and combatants often introduce new and unusual cyberweapons to surprise their enemies and titillate the crowd. The fighters who have survived longest collect a body of tricks and techniques known as Sangre y Acero – Blood and Steel.

LEAGUE RULES

• Almost none. Make whatever you want and as abuses become obvious, that tactic will be banned, and the user shamed.
• As a tournament, fights go until someone taps out, is knocked out, or stays in overflow for a full Combat Turn.
• Winners get 1 Edge refreshed.

ARENA DESCRIPTION
Since Sangre y Acero is primarily played in Aztlan, it is going to be held inside of an ullamaliztli, one of the ball courts for the mesoamerican ballgame. The ballgame has quite a bit in common with gladiatorial combat.

• Ullamaliztli have a length to width ratio of about 4:1, with smaller courts being about 16 by 4 meters.
• The sides are sloped at about 37 degrees.
• retaining wall is 8 meters vertical.
• At the middle line at the top of the side slope are large stone rings with the doughnut hole being parallel to the alley. The hole is the size of a head, and is not accidental.
• The playing alley is dirt or grass, and the walls are masonry (Object Resist of 2).
• Surrounding the court area are structures for spectators to sit in, raising the height of the court by another 2 meters. Those 2 meters are adorned with tzompantli, or skull racks (Object Resist of 1).
