Thirty posts a page, fifty pages a waiting room, seventeen past waiting rooms. That makes 25,500 arena tourney related posts! And that's only the waiting room.
Welcome to the Waiting Room, current and future gladiators! Here, you may discuss anything about the Arena Tournament, whether it's just a simple question, a match you just won, or even a new rule you want to propose. If you wish to view any previous matches, no need to ask; simply visit the archives, found here. The guidelines for character creation are not listed in this thread, but are kept in the recruiting thread.
Note that any rules listed in grey italics are only proposals, and are not yet incorporated.
Rules of the Arena
General
You may only have up to four characters at once.
A fifth bonus character is permitted if at least one of your active characters is 3rd level or higher.
What a High Referee says, goes.
Preparing for a Match
Standard Guidelines
Characters and their companions start with full health, no temporary health, and no nonlethal damage. If you died in the previous round, then your character is revived with no penalties.
Characters and their companions start with all non-permanent conditions, both positive and negative, purged from them.
Characters and their companions start with all permanent negative conditions purged from them.
Characters and their companions start with all of their special abilities (such as rage) at max and ready to use.
Mundane preparations are already accomplished. This means that armor is donned properly, any items you may have can be in either hand, rods can be pre-tucked into belts, crossbows and slings are loaded, riding animals can be mounted, etc.
However, a character may not start with any temporary effect, such as a Mage Armor spell or a barbarian's Rage, currently operating i.e. no pre-combat buffing.
Spell-caster Guidelines
Spell-casting characters start with all spell slots recharged and prepared.
A Wizard or similar spellcasters does not have to carry his spellbook with him. It can be left outside the arena with no fear of getting it stolen or destroyed.
Psionic Guidelines
Psionic characters starts with power points at max.
A Psionic character may start with Psionic Focus.
Other Guidelines for Supernatural Abilities
Soulmelds, vestiges, or any similar abilities are properly prepared and ready for use.
During a Match
Standard Guidelines
You may not change your character sheet in any way after the first action your character takes in a match. This remains in effect until the match is officialy called.
Combatants are required to post each action their character takes, so that referees can make sure the combatants don't take more actions than they are allowed.
You may bring your Familiar, Animal Companion, or other companion granted by a class feature into the arena with you.
You may not bring any attack animals, mercenaries, undead, bound outsiders, or other allies with you into the Arena.
You may bring only a single riding animal with you into the arena. Riding animals must be trained either for riding or combat riding, as per the Handle Animal skill discription.
You must post within three days of the creation of a match, or within two days after it becomes your turn in the match. If you do not do so, your character is considered unable to continue and is immediately disqualified from that match. Referees are not required to remind you about your match. It is your responsibility, not the refs, to constantly check the standings and/or subscribe to your match.
Regarding the above rule, you may notify a referee of an upcoming absence, which cannot be for more than one week. During that time, your character(s) will not be disqualified because of your absence. If you abuse this rule, your character(s) will be disqualified from their current rounds.
You may view your opponent's character sheet at any time.
You may use your opponent's items, if you can somehow gain access to them during a match.
Destroying your opponent's gear is legal. Items destroyed during a match are not replaced automaticly, so characters are responsible for replacing their own destroyed gear. Note: riding animals are considered part of your gear.
Gear damaged during a match, but not destroyed, is repaired for free. This does not apply to charges spent from a magic item such as wand or staff.
Any items that a player does not wish to be brought into a match may be left outside the arena with no chance of being lost or stolen. Such items do not count towards a character's encumbrance.
Format of a Match
Characters must declare any purchase made since the match thread was posted, but are under no obligation to notify their opponents of purchases made before that.
Characters roll inititive at the begining of the match to determine turn order.
Characters must declare what their gladiator holds in hand at the beginning of a match (this can be in a spoiler if LoS is blocked at the beginning of a fight)
Combat officially begins for a player once his character takes his first action of the match.
Combatants will then post their actions in turn order until one is considered unable to continue or has surrendered.
Any actions done without LoS are posted in spoilers. Also, if one character is hiding and the other fails his Spot check, the hiding character gets to post in spoiler blocks, but gets to peek in the spotting character's actions as well. This is an honor system, so integrity is very important. Any accusations of cheating will be investigated by the High Referees.
Actions should be posted in the following format:
Spoiler
Character Name, Round Number
Witty Banter (if any)
Actions taken visible to everyone in the match.
Visible Ready Action(if any)
Spoiler
Conditions of Ready Action and which action is being readied.
(Tag indicating who can read spoiler. Tag can be dropped for refs only spoilers.)
Spoiler
Actions taken which are not visible to everyone in the match.
Referee questions can be in full view, inside a hidden action spoiler, or inside their own spoiler, as appropriate.
Stats:
Spoiler
Hp: Current Hp/Maximum Hp
AC: Full AC, Flat-Footed AC, Touch AC (Breakdown of AC bonuses)
List of Buffs and other pertinent non static information, such as current spells prepared, soulmelds, vestiges, or manuvers readied.
Declaration if your turn is over or if you need referee assistance before continuing.
Conditions of Loss
Going more than 130 feet above +0 feet in the arena, unless otherwise specified.
Moving or being moved out of the arena bounds by any means. (The parts of the Ethereal Plane and the Plane of Shadow that are coexistant with the arena are included in the arena, so moving to these areas does not disqualify you.)
Being rendered unable to continue fighting, usualy by being killed or rendered unconcious by being reduced to negative hit points. This also can include such conditions as being rendered dominated (but not Charmed), permanently incapable of acting, or other effects.
Surrendering.
Not posting within the given time limits.
After a Match
The victorious character wins XP and GP, as listed in the first post of your match.
Losers do not recieve any sort of GP or XP compensation, so don't base a strategy entirely off of consumable items.
A character cannot level up during a round. Once the current round is over, a character immediately levels up if he has the experience to do so. You may not choose to not level up, even for the purposes of item creation.
For winning first place, and in most matches second place as well, you will get an additional GP prize, and a hand-crafted sigatar-medal. There is currently a backlog of medals while we find a new artist, so the medal may be some time in coming.
Any items that may have been stolen, borrowed, dropped, or thrown (and not destroyed) from/by your character are returned, if possible.
In-Between Matches
You may change your character's alignment in between rounds (but not in between matches). The character's alignment must still be valid for any and all of his classes or the character suffers all penalties from improper alignment. For example, a paladin that changes alignment from lawful good loses all his class abilities.
Characters may be retrained, as by the Player's Handbook II Retraining Rules. This can only be done at level up.
As additional retraining options, Characters may add or remove 1 Flaw (and an appropriate feat), change an existing Flaw for another legal Flaw, add or remove one Trait from their character, or change an existing Trait for another legal Trait as their retraining option for a given level. The normal limit of 2 Flaws and 2 Traits still applies.
Animal Companions, Familiars, riding animals, and any similar pets may be switched in-between matches, with the usual costs and penalties (such as the XP loss from dismissing an existing familiar). Animal Companions and Riding Animals are always fully trained in any tricks the owner wishes, provided he has a Handle Animal modifier at least equal to [the DC required to teach the trick - 20].
You may purchase items from any source in-between matches. Purchases can be changed until you post your first action in your next match; then all transactions are final.
Characters with item creation feats may create magic items as per the feat's individual rules.
Characters with ranks in Craft skills may purchase any item that could be crafted by their particular craft skill at half market price, provided that the DC of the Craft check needed to create the item is no more than 10 + the character's Craft skill modifier.
Players are required to keep a record of all purchases for each of their characters along with a record of all their winnings, either on their character sheets or on some other reasonable alternative.
Character may only own a single riding animal at any time.
Items are sold at half market price, unless otherwise instructed by a ref.
Items may be traded, sold, or purchased from other characters of another player. Transactions must be of equal value in gold piece cost. Value is defined as the normal market price of such an item.
Spellbooks cannot be traded or sold. You may learn spells from another player's character, provided he is willing to allow you to learn the spell, but you must pay all the normal costs for scribing a new spell into your spell book.
You may upgrade magic items with multiple versions, such as some Gloves of Dexterity +2, from a lesser version to a better version. For example, a pair of Gloves of Dexterity +2 may be upgraded to Gloves of Dexterity +4. The only exception to this rule is that you may not upgrade a weapon or armor from normal to masterwork or from masterwork to dwarvencraft.
Partially charged staffs and wands can be bought, but they must have at least 25 charges. You cannot craft a wand or staff with less than maximum charges.
All current character sheets are linked in this thread, and can be checked at any time by our referees. A non-referee may challenge the correctness of any character sheet, but such findings must be authenticated by a referee before those errors are considered official. A character sheet is assumed to be correct until an error is found in it.
Terminology
Tournament - used in general to refer to the Arena Tournament as a whole or to refer to a type of tournament in general. Example: tag team tournament, free for all tournament, The Tournament. Exceptions to this definition abound, which is the main source of confusion.
Round - used to refer to a particular tournament. Example: round 1, round 8, etc.
Match - a single combat in a tournament. Example: the first match between Jekran and Marge.
Mavianesque - descriptive word indicating that an action or statement is an example of remarkably correct rules lawyering.

Current Arenas:
Spoiler
1. The Temple
Spoiler
The Arena walls for this map are 30 ft high, with a Climb DC of 30. The pillars are 10 feet tall with a Climb DC of 20. Mirror
2. Lava Arena
Spoiler
The Arena walls for this map are 30 ft high, with a Climb DC of 30. The pillars are 15 feet tall with a Climb DC of 15. Mirror
3. River Arena
Spoiler
The Arena walls for this map are 30 ft high, with a Climb DC of 30. Mirror
4. Sambusei
Spoiler
The Arena walls for this map are 40 ft high, with a Climb DC of 30. Miror
Extra notes: Houses are on average 20 feet high (just use that average figure all over the house), hay piles are up to 10 feet high against the walls. And, I don't care whether you're immune to sanctuary effects, you are not immune to the arena's sanctuary effect. Creatures summoned during the 1st round are also affected by the sanctuary effect. Mirror
Maps must be balanced. The easiest way to qualify a map this way is to have it be symetrical, but carefuly planned asymetrical maps will also be considered.
Maps must be no larger than 26 x 26, height-and-width-wise. We have enough trouble with people finding each other on our current maps, let alone a larger one.
Maps should have a key, detailing special map features, lighting conditions, wall heights (including the outer wall heights), and weather conditions.
Maps may cater to one style of combat more than another, but should not invalidate any other style of combat.
Maps should have few moving parts, if any. Any moving parts should be fairly simple, such as a door (which can only be opened or closed). Complex moving parts are still possible, but they tend to cause problems, such as the plank bridge in Sambusei, because players tend to attempt using them in unusual ways.
New maps should have some means to reduce or prevent the chance of a first turn KO. Blocking LoS between the two is the easiest way to do this, but other methods could work equally well.
LoS on a given map should not be difficult to determine.
Map Rules and Ruling Precedents
Spoiler
Generic Rules / Precedents
Spoiler
Stances do NOT count as permanent effects and therefore must be activated in match.
The act of readying is a visible action. Having a readied action, however, is not a visible condition.
Creatures may stand on top of small trees and pillars. Standing and acting on such requires a DC 15 balance check.
Climbing out of water requires a DC 10 climb check. (Does not apply for gradual slopes).
A falling character does not do falling object damage.
Summoned swarms may attack the caster if the caster is the closest detected target.
Creatures may use their mouth to hold a single object that could be held in one hand. Doing so requires the same effort as transferring from hand to hand, and prevents speech.
Moving exactly Full speed shares the -5 hide / move silently penalty.
Verbal spell components have a DC 0 listen to hear.
A creature moving with no attempt at silence is assumed to be 'Taking 5' on move silently checks.
A listen success by less than 10 is a simple success that tells the listen basic noise type (speech, movement, etc) and generic direction (North, South, East, West, Up, Down)
An improved success is 10 or more but less than 20. Speech is understood if the language is known, spellcraft checks may be used to identify spells with verbal components, and more precise locations of sound are given as well as basic movement path (approaching from N-NE, receding to South, Moves from your SW to your SE, etc)
Succeeding on a listen check by 20+ gives a pinpoint per RAW.
Refs are not obligated to do listen checks if LoS was established or if a simple success is the best the listener can hope for, unless the players specifically ask.
Anyone speaking in a strong voice (ie: not whispering) is automatically heard by those in LoS. *
LoE alone, like on Clouds, isn't enough to be heard automatically. *
Noise, even a loud shout isn't automatically heard if you don't have LoS to the source, making listen checks required. The base DC is set by the local LoS ref, but is usually between -5 and -10 for shouting depending on the ref and how pointedly loud the shouter implied themself to be. *
Smokesticks do not dissipate.
Jump checks to reduce falling damage cannot be taken when you don't move of your own volition. *
If a mount is killed or goes unconscious the rider gets dismounted into the same square. *
Alchemist's Fire, Acid, etc. are weapons and can thus be drawn as part of a move action if the character has 1 BAB. Accordingly, Deflect Arrows and Snatch Arrows work against them.
Tanglefoot Bags are not weapons and thus exempt from this. *
Shields (but not bucklers), spiked or not, can threaten if you either choose to give up the AC bonus of one or have the Improved Shield Bash feat. *
Regular Gauntlets make your punches, but not kicks or headbutts, do lethal damage. You still do not count as armed for the purposes of attacking or threatening squares. *
Spiked Guantlets do allow you to count as armed for attacking and threatening squares, so long as you have at least one hand free to attack with them. *
AoOs may be taken with any weapon or attack the foe is currently in range of, even if it was not the one that threatened them at the time. *
Armor spikes upgrade your grapple damage to 1d6 lethal piercing damage. *
Free actions can be taken in the middle of other actions. *
Threedimensional diagonals(i.e. ones that go up/down in addition to north/south and east/west) are counted the following way: first one 5 feet, second to fourth 10 feet each, then start anew(5-10-10-10-5-10-10-10...) *
Empty consumables are assumed to be dropped after use unless stated otherwise.
All Map Rules
Spoiler
All arenas, unless otherwise stated, are walled in, with doors for gladiators that start closed. The walls are 30' high with a climb DC of 30.
Even though there is no ceiling on many maps, you cannot shoot arrows over walls without a special ability to do so. It may be parabolic motion in your physics class, but in the arena, all ranged effects are straight lines that extend to their maximum range and then abruptly stop.
Unless an Arena specifies that a spell doesn't work it works as normal. E.g. Entangle
If no Climb DC is listed for a wall, it is considered to be perfectly smooth and vertical, i.e. unclimbable.
Temple Arena
Spoiler
Pillars do not provide cover. Instead they provide a circumstantial AC and Reflex Bonus when a character occupies the same square as it.
Lava Arena
Spoiler
Slopes cause no hindrance in movement whatsoever.
F13 and U13 have LoS all the way to the other side.
Slope at G13 and T13 is only 3' high. No climb check required.
Partially lava-covered squares are passable without a check *
Trees do not provide cover. Instead they provide a circumstantial AC and Reflex Bonus when a character occupies the same square as it.
Sambusei
Spoiler
Stairs each rise 5'.
Cliff squares slope directly from the highest elevation they are adjacent to down to +0ft.
Must succeed on a climb check DC 15 to move on a cliff square.
If planks are scattered while a character occupies them, that character must make a DC 15 balance check to remain standing, or fall into the quicksand. The scattering also provokes a concentration check for vigorous motion if a spell is being cast. Planks remain stationary if scattered.
Glass Arena
Spoiler
Pillars are 10' tall and are not scalable without sufficient magic or tools.
Walls are 10' tall.
There is no ceiling
Barn Yard
Spoiler
Trees do not provide cover. Instead they provide a circumstantial AC and Reflex Bonus when a character occupies the same square as it.
Hay is scattered as a standard action in 5'X5' squares
Hay is magical, non-flammable, non-dispellable
Roof is made of stone, like the walls
Doors can be opened or closed as a standard action
Candles
Spoiler
Unattended lightsources are extinguished at the end of each players turn. Spells count as attended if they have Duration: Concentration or target you/carried equipment.
All you have to do to join the reffing staff is ask. Unless we have some good reason to not allow you in, you'll be hired on the spot. Promotion is done by recognizable merit. If a Master Ref thinks you're doing a good job and you want the promotion, you can be promoted at any time.

I've got an idea for a new match format: rotating maps. first rounds are on one map, second rounds a different one, third rounds another, and so on. What do people think?

Seems good. Why not do an exhibition to try it out?
jvluso - Gronk Strongarmshould know 3 languages other than draconic and orc, 10 misc jump from wings not listed
ybot - Brumphbase fort should be 2, doesn't qualify for pathetic flaw, -6 misc jump from speed missing
err, don't have all sources for the other two at hand right now. Maybe tomorrow
Scorer - Aguacatl - sling weight should be 24,75, Spell Focus needs to specify the school, +4 misc jump from speed missing
Candycorn - Anisimovna - crossbow attack should be 7, concentration marked crossclass, 1 skill point too many, spell component pouch weight is 2, ACF use only listed in other notes(should be in feats section as well), don't use 'scribe' for 'copied into spellbook', kinda confusing

Rotating maps sounds... pretty interesting. Still, that's 6 maps needed for classic 1v1. Would we have to preroll all six in advance, or just list the opening/final map with the stuff in between randomly selected?

Crossbow - Fixed.
Concentration marked as a class skill.
Fixing concentration fixes Skill point usage (20 points spent, which is what a level 2 wizard with a 15 intelligence should have)
Component pouch weight fixed.
ACF ability listed in Feats and Special Abilities section.
Scribed - translates as "written". I've expanded it to "transcribed into spellbook", which should clarify the confusion. I personally prefer 'transcribe' to 'copy' for a medieval setting, and both are synonyms. Since it is listed as an ability unique to wizards, it should qualify as a class feature, which allows alterations to names of abilities, per PHB, p.110, under the Skills and Feats section of "Customizing your character". If it's not an ability, then the meaning should be clear enough to handle any confusion.

Fixing concentration fixes Skill point usage (20 points spent, which is what a level 2 wizard with a 15 intelligence should have)
It's still one too many. The displayed total at the bottom is 20, but actually there are 21. mythweavers can't handle partial skill points, the 2.5 in Hide is read as 2
rechecks of corrected sheets sometime later

Ah, will correct in a sec.
That said, I'm not sure about an exhibition for Kyeudo's idea. The only way to implement it is to do a whole exhibition ROUND. After all, the only difference is changing maps between rounds. Otherwise, it's a series of standard matches.
If we're gonna set up an entire round of play, it makes sense to at least make it an official round, so that the people that spend the months this will take get XP for it. If it doesn't catch on, we can always retire the match type afterwards, but exhibitions seem more suited to testing a map, or a new match type... Not a new round type.
