How It Works
- Interested parties are to locate Kail Gerrad before the start of each Tournament event (Ranged, Melee, Magic, Joust) on its designated day.  Don’t fret -- he’s very loud.
- Gamblers will be "given" a purse of 50,000 gil each (IC coinage only) for the course of the entire Tournament.  This encompasses all the money that Kail (the “houseâ€) is willing to cover. Players can bet up to 50k each round, but losing does cumulative damage to their purse over the course of the tournament, and after 50k they can no longer bet for the duration of the tourney.
- Each event of the Tournament (Ranged, Melee, Magic, Joust) will be a “round†of gambling, each with their own prize for whoever takes the pot for that round. At the end of the tourney, there will be a final prize for the fattest purse. To qualify for this prize, players need to have bet on at LEAST two of the events.
- Just because you don't pick the winning pony, doesn't mean you go away with nothing. Picking a character that places in their event still has returns on your purse:
- Picking 1st place has a return of 100% (that's double your money folks!)
- Picking 2nd place has a return of 75%
- Picking 3rd has a return of 50%.
- Picking 1st place has a return of 100% (that's double your money folks!)
- Kail reserves the right to laugh at bets under 1000 gil.     Â
