The below is a
Dear Sir or Madam.
You have been cordially invited to the renowned sky city of Jetlock, for the final match-up of the 100th annual Skygait tournament! Where the two finalist teams come together for an event famed for it’s artful maneuvers, clever riders, and, of course, brutal clashes! This, dear attendees, is the essence of Skygait!
The fact that you have received this invitation indicates that you, dear sir or madam, are a renowned individual of the Skygait world- may you be a manufacturer, a sponsor, or even a competitor of the two teams. Needless to say, you should already know plenty about Skygaits and their operation, such as their utilization of hover thrusters, mind-linked controls, and astounding air-borne agility. However, please remember that the definition of the 'Skygait'- which once refered to a floating board- Now applys to any compact, one-person levitating machine, including skates, disks, etc- Even mechanical bicyles and full-blown body armor can be used, if you are willing to compete with the weight.
The Jetlock tournament is set to begin October 21st, as usual, and will have the standard tournament rules in place during play. Those rules being:
1) Any competitor who touches the ground or out-of-bounds without their Skygait is considered defeated.
2) Any competitor who is rendered incapacitated is considered defeated.
3) Weaponry may include any form of melee weapon, but the only projectile weapon permitted will be low-grade blasters.
4) While form is not considered, a Skygait must be reasonably sized.
5) Each match is played between two teams, with a maximum of four players per team. However, so long as the maximum is not exceeded, a team can send out as many players as they wish, despite the other team’s total. Therefore, while it is recommended that you play four x four, it is possible to play with any configuration of members, such as one x three, two x four, etc.
Seeing as Jetlock is famed for it’s arena, you should already know the stadium: Styled artistically as a Roman Arena, the stadium has many seats placed in circular rings around the actual playing field. And, even though we do have a large playing field ((About the size of an American football field)), competitors are welcome to go wherever they wish, so long as no attempts to shatter the game-only force field are made (Which extends well past the actual seats). Note that your every movement will be monitored and displayed upon the stadium’s screens, so no cheating! But all that aside, I personally say to you, as the director of the Skygait Tournament;
Welcome to Jetlock.
-Mr. Keatun : Director
PS: I know that many of you are unsettled by the air pirates, who have become increasingly active as of late, but I do hope that you find the courage to attend this competition anyway.
