DON’T BREAK YOUR TUBE!1) First Rule of CTFL: Don’t break your tube. In a duel, the last person with an unbroken tube is declared the winner. In the event that both participants break their tubes at the same time, the game is a draw, and both duelists are considered losers. 2) No blocking or swinging with your arms. No body slamming. 3) No stabbing. Lunges involving tubes are never allowed under any circumstances. Participants who exhibit this behavior, will be ejected from the entire event. 4) Try not to work the face. Hitting people in the face is heavily frowned upon and can force your ejection from the event. 5) Once your tube is broken you must stop fighting. 6) To participate you must be using an official CTFL tube, which will be provided at the event, and have signed a release waiver. 7) You may not block your opponents tube with your arms hands or legs. 8) Your tube must always be held near the bottom. Holding your tube in the middle at any time is illegal. 9) Shields are officially banned in tournaments. WHAT IS A CTFL BATTLE LIKE?A CTFL battle is very different from a tournament mainly because there is only shared victory. When you arrive at the event you will be given a tube and a colored marker to designate what side you are on. When the battle begins and you, along with your teammates, attempt to break as many of the opposing teams tubes as possible. In a battle a broken tube is any tube that is completely unraveled at the break, or is severed completely. The last team with any intact tubes are declared the winners. Battles allow cardboard shields, armor, and participants with the best costumes are rewarded with prizes. WHAT IS A CTFL TOURNAMENT LIKE?A CTFL event includes 48 participants. Each participant duels at least once. The winner of the duel is the person whose cardboard tube is not broken and loser is he whose tube is bent. The winning participant will have dueled 5 times, without destroying their cardboard tube. The breakdown of the rounds are as follows. Round 1- 48 Participants- 1 vs. 1 matches Round 2- 24 Participants- 1 vs. 1 matches Round 3- 12 Participants- 1 vs. 1 matches Round 4- 6 Participants- 3 person chaos matches Round 5- 2 Participants- Tube and Shield 1 vs. 1 match Depending on the number of participants, there maybe fewer rounds. |
