Tier 3

The following matches are more rare than other tiers, and each is played in a slightly different way than standard game rules.

Cloak & Dagger
Four Gladiators compete until a pinfall has been made. The pinned Gladiator is then the 'mark'. If the mark is pinned again, they are eliminated; however, should a pinfall occur on another Gladiator, the role of mark is transferred to them. When three Gladiators remain, the same rules apply, substituting two consecutive submissions for elimination. When two Gladiators remain, Last Man Standing rules apply.
- A second page for shoots will be posted. Votes will be cast as normal and half of the percentage will be converted into match points. So 70% = 35 MP.


Devil's Advocate
The ropes on two sides of the ring are replaced with razor wire and the ring is surrounded by a twenty foot cell. A win occurs by pinfall or submission, but a Gladiator is only eligible once they have put their opponent through a table that has been set on fire. Yes, it's a barbed-wire-inferno-hell-in-a-cell.


Elimination Chamber
A menacing twenty foot steel structure engulfs the ring and in each corner in a glass pod. Two Gladiators begin in the ring, with the remaining four waiting in a pod. After five minutes, a pod will open until all Gladiators have entered. Eliminations will then take place by pinfall or submission.
- Each participant must choose one Gladiator out of the other five to attack (10 MP will be deducted from his/her score) and one to defend (10 MP will be added to his/her score).
- Participants may submit one additional smack.


Gladiator Gauntlet
Two Gladiators begin in the ring, with the remaining entrants at ring-side. Every 90 seconds, another Gladiator enters. Eliminations can occur by pinfall, submission or by throwing an opponent over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor.
- Entrance order comes into play, as each Gladiator will score 2 MP per entrance number. The first entrant gets 2 MP, the second gets 4 MP, and so on. The order will be based
- Members get two votes. They can use both on the same Gladiator or split between two.
- Participants may submit one additional smack.
- Only 1 shoot may be submitted.
