Dragon Orb Races Rules

Summary
The Dragon Orb Races is a new contact sport in the Seireitei created, by accident initially, Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Toushiro Hitsugaya. The sport was created to add more excitement to the Seireitei now that life is a little bit more peaceful. The sport is held at least once every other month. They compete with each other over specially made orbs that resemble the dragon balls, but are colored differently and vary in size. There is a set time limit and a course.

Orbs
The orbs are specially made to float in the air and even fly, depending on their point level.
White - 1 Point
Green - 5 Points
Gold - 10 Points
The white orbs are big and just float. The green orbs are a little smaller and fly around. The gold orbs are very small and fly around with blazing speed, making them harder to catch. There are only 5 gold orbs in the game total.

The orbs are dropped into a net labeled with a symbol and the color of each team. Each team can earn only up to 50 points each. Once a team reaches 50, they stop and let the others continue until time runs out. If there are no ties, the team with highest amount of points win.

Rules
The teams compete with each other for the orbs with nearly no rules as to how they obtain them. As this is a psychical contact sport, the teams are allowed to be rough and interfere with each other to a certain point. For what rules there are, they are strictly upheld.

Rule #1: Each team can only collected two orbs per lap around the course, one per each member of a team.
Rule #2: Teams are allowed to take orbs from each other only while on the course.
Rule #3: Injuring another player to which prevents them from continuing equals instant disqualification for the team responsible.
Rule #4: No weapons, like swords and blades, are allowed! Kido Spells and such are allowed to a degree. Basically: if in doubt, don’t use it!
Rule #5: Have fun and remember that it’s just a game!

Tie-Breakers
Because other teams are allowed to keep playing even after one has obtained 50 points, ties often occur. Once the main game is over and there are ties, a tie-breaker round -which many consider the real game- begins. The tie-breaker is the team of Levi and Vegeta who carry a single pitch black orb. The black orb must make 5 laps before it can be dropped into a net. Once in the net, that team wins by default. Once the tie-breakers are officially in play, there are two ways to win.

1: Levi will choose a team and drop the orb into their net himself.
2: Take the orb from them and drop it into your net.

Throughout the game, Levi and Vegeta will have watched each team carefully from the start. If and when they go into play, Levi will have already chosen a team he likes. Another team can win if they take the orb and manage to hold onto it. But watch out! Levi and Vegeta won’t let you just take the orb! They’ll will do whatever they can to get it back! Their job is to make the 5 laps as entertaining as possible. The tied teams are allowed to try and interfere with the two in any way possible, but good luck! There’s a reason these two don’t play in the main game! They’re just too good!

Injuries & Substitutions
During the first official game, an incident occurred. Eren Yeager was originally Armin Arlert’s team member until an accident caused Yeager to become injured. This incident is what birthed the ‘no injuring other players’ rule. However on occasion, uncontrollable accidents do occur.

If a player is injured and unable to continue, whether by fault of another team or by uncontrollable circumstances, then the remaining team member can choose a substitution to aid them if they wish to continue with the game.

Weather
The weather is always a factor. Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and Toushiro Hitsugaya will determine if wether it is safe to play or not. If the weather is too risky, the game will be postponed until better conditions emerge.
