Are you brave enough to face the storm head on in our Uphold the Torch Captain of the Guard tournament?
The blizzard is limiting visibility, you wouldn’t want your torch go out and get Lost in the Snowstorm, would you?
Tournament Rules:
The torch is the unique part of this tournament. Here’s why:
It holds a tennis ball, which symbolizes the torches ‘Flame’. If your torchbearer is killed, or if the ball falls out of the torch, your team is FROZEN IN PLACE. You can still fight from where you’re standing, but you cannot move.
This tournament starts as a 1v1, then snowballs each round.
The team captain is responsible for the given Torch and MUST hold the torch.
While it is an important part of your team, EXTINGUISHING THE TORCH IS NOT A KILL.
