Well, Avolition we didn't make it far, but we did make it!

Avolition and Maloy are gone already?
I'll put 60 gold on Priest Ndrog (Quantum Drop). Some solid research seems to have gone into that build.
(More than for my own build certainly, I think I have never even started up arena mode in DF, despite playing the game for over a decade.)

Gah! At least Jack went down swinging. That priest is one brutal fellow. The committee from the Glowing Marshes bets 50 gold on Ndrog, and another 25 on... that odd bearded creature. The one with beards on its beards.

The delegation from Learned Order of Brass and Fire will wager 30 gold on the victory of Knifin’ Around (Matchup 1I), 25 on that of Marmota Monax (Matchup 1DD,) and 25 on that of Priest Ndrog (Matchup 1AA.) They wish the gladiators luck in their battles, and pray that the Scarlet Lord welcomes the arena's fallen to the High Halls.

The rules are that you can bet on only one gladiator per round. Which bet will be your official one?

Ah. Whoops, probably should've read that before posting. In that case, the official bet will be 30 on Knifin' Around.

Bracket viewable here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10q3Qojz8f8PS7QeOnmhJ5Xi5ph5lDB_ASTOtj8jnCeY/edit?usp=sharing

Betting for Round 1 is now Open! It will close on Friday, 7/14, at 2000 GMT.

Rules:
  • Betting is open both to the managers and the spectators of the tournament.
  • Every bettor starts out with 100 gold to be spent on the betting. You can't at any given moment put any more gold into a bet than you already have.
  • Every bettor can only put money on one gladiator per round.
  • Bets made after the official deadline for each round are not counted.
  • The system works in a way that allows those who bet on the underdogs (those who have less bet on them) to receive more gold than those who bet on the favorites, so go wild with your predictions!
