FORFEITS & DODGES
Penalties for leaving or avoiding assigned fights.
Forfeits and Dodges
Both forfeiting and dodging are highly discouraged.
Both Forfeiting and Dodging are highly discouraged. Forfeiting, either not initiating a fight as a Testee/Tester or leaving mid-fight, counts as a loss towards all subsequent rounds, leading to a High Strike Score penalty. Dodging, a form of forfeiting where a user fails to initiate a fight they were assigned to by a staff member without a valid excuse, leads to a Strike Score penalty of -10 if you are Low Tier 2 or above. If you are a HT3 and you forfeit with a score worse than 7 rounds on your first opponent in your own test, a demotion to Low Tier 3 will be initiated. If it is not your test, any forfeit will result in a demotion. All testee forfeits will also result in a 30 day testing cooldown.
