So am I out, or can I post another character? If so:
You're not barred from joining or anything because you missed the start.

Spend 20 Urists upgrading Dodge skill to level 2, then try another round with a wolf.
I think it's incremental, so two levels is 30 Urists.

I'll increase Hammerdwarf and Dodger to dabbling, and fight another wolf.
You are correct about the cost being 30 Urists.

However, having been poking around in arena mode, it appears that skills are handled slightly differently. It appears that the dabbling skill level does not exist in arena mode, so a single upgrade would result in novice. The maximum level is grand master, which corresponds to 14 upgrades.

Also, we currently have three sign-ups for the tournament so far:
Jacque(Ottofat)
Urist Ufanaman(Coolnesstod)
Flint(Stabbymcstabstab)

The first round of the tournament will probably start on arena day 3, so post if you want to be included in that. While you're in the tournament, you cannot fight any non-tournament battles, but you can spend money. Each battle you win against another gladiator wins you 10% of the combined wealth of you and your opponent. Once you are knocked out, you can do what you want while the tournament continues. If you sign up for the tournament, you can continue to submit actions for the time before the tournament starts.

Laurenski signs up also.

Meanwhile she will learn Novice Dodger[10] and Novice Fighter[10] and then fight another wolf.

Yeah. So I can wolf it up now, despite dying.

Also, far, not fat.

Injuries, ammunition used and deaths are not carried through to the next battle. Having negative money doesn't mean you have to sell anything, but you will need to make up the loss to get into the black before you can buy anything.

My bad, the keys are right next to each other.

I shall join the fray!

Race:Human
Equipment: Wooden Trainin Axe (17) Copper Buckler (28)

Urists: 5

Think that's all in order.

Assuming as such, I shall both join the tournament and take on a Wolf.

I am afraid that you've added it up wrong. A copper mail shirt costs 40 (20 base, x2 for copper).

I suppose I'll join the tournament after my wolf battle.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

We have eight entries to the novice's tournament. The order of the entries has been

randomized and is as such:
1)  Ibid Straydrink(Ibid Straydrink)
2)  Flint(Stabbymcstabstab)
3)  Laurenski Korsokov(Kashyyk)
4)  Matthias Drechburn(Maxinum McDreich)
5)  Fekod Nilnekol(Sinpwn)
6)  Urist Ufanaman(Coolnesstod)
7)  Jacque(Ottofar)
8)  Dakosh Kundur (Gatleos)
The first round will consist of 1V2, 3V4, etc, with the losers being knocked out of

the tournament. The second round will consist of the winner of 1V2 against the winner of 3V4 and the winner of 5V6 against the winner of 7V8. The winners in the second round will fight each other in round three for first and second place. The losers in the second round will fight each other in round three for third place.

Since we have eight entries, no more applicants will be accepted until the tournament finishes. Those who are in the tournament will not be able to enter any more fights while they are in the tournament, though they will be allowed to spend money.

There's a huge amount of randomness in the fights. Especially when the fighters don't have much in the way of equipment or skills, a single lucky hit can dictate the whole battle.
