FIGHT!! - Heather Vs Livia (continued) (Patreon)

It may not have been wise to start the fight with a dismissive backhand but after following it up with a full on assault, Livia must have been felt pretty confident. Dominating, she even had the opportunity to shout out to FIGHT!! boss Geneva who was intently watching on. How quickly things can change however! Within a few seconds Livia was flat on her back struggling to keep consciousness. She wasn't done quite yet however; refusing to lose to the 'little punk' she dragged herself off the mat with the sound of Heather and Geneva cackling at her ineptitude in the background....

Its probably worth noting some of the fundamental rules of a FIGHT! bout.

Firstly, Geneva reserves the right to change the rules and any conditions of a fight at any time; even mid-fight! Her presence ring side seldom bodes well for one or both competitors...

Secondly, Whilst the use of weapons, other props or outside interference isn't authorised, neither is it explicitly prohibited; such tactics are left to the discretion of the fighters. It is worth noting the first rule and fighters will need to consider if improvising during a fight will be appreciated by Geneva and the FIGHT!! management...

There are three ways to win a standard bout (although additional conditions can always be stipulated by management). 

Firstly one fighter is pummelled so badly as not  to be able to move; a knock out. This will only be registered once the attacker ceases combat. This could mean the fight can continue with one opponent unconscious for quite some time; it is only once the attacker declares the win is the condition of the opponent considered. 

Second is a submission. Two key points with this is the submission is only registered if the attacker accepts it at the time. If they refuse or fail to hear it, the fight can continue (for quite some time!). Secondly, in order to keep the fight entertaining, it is stipulated that any submission holds can only be maintained by the attacker for a about 30 seconds before releasing the opponent; the same hold may then not be used that same fight by the attacker. This rule means attackers will need to judge if their opponent is ready to quit before using any trade mark moves or if more pummelling is required...

The third way, favoured by some and dismissed by others is of a sexual nature; if you can make your opponent climax, it is judged as a submission and the same rules apply as above. 

On losing a bout, it is expected the winner or management will enact some form of discipline or forfeit on the loser. The nature and form of this can vary wildly in nature,  severity and duration. Some opponents will pre plan elaborate forfeits whilst others will leave it to management who have a whole catalogue or third parties to employ. It is worth noting, as with many of the previous rules, fighters will need to judge if their actions in this phase will be supported by Geneva.

A final point worth noting is whilst many of the rules outlined above are questionable legally in some ways (and technically outright illegal in others!) Geneva has successfully explained the nuances of her business model with all of the local and state authorities and with suitable 'remunerated transactions', She has been designated the final arbitrator regarding any legal complications...
