Bullfighting use to be held in this arena, but now it
hosts a more technological version of the event. The El Toro Arena is the
closest dueling arena to the Mexican border. Over half of all duelists
that use the arena are Mexicans. Starting out in Amateur Night, these duelists
try to beat the odds and come out ahead, both in being alive and in winnings.
Due to the rather high Amateur Night fatality rate and culpable local politicians
the El Toro Arena is not sanctioned by the AADA.
Arena Notes:
Walls are 60 DP and stand 15 feet
high. Gates are 15 DP and will open when crashed into. The floor is packed
with loose dirt, a holdover from its former use as a bullring. Defenses
come in the form of an ATG located in each corner. 100 rounds of ammo are
allocated for each ATG.

Bullfighting - In this event the "Bullfighter"
must disable or destroy the "Bull" without being disabled or destroyed
in turn. The Bullfighter can only use direct-fire weapons and cannot ram
the Bull. Tire shots are forbidden.
The Bull is a vehicle one or two sizes
larger than the Bullfighter. Only a ramplate and bumper spikes can be employed
by a Bull. The object of the event is to take out the Bull without being
killed in the process.

This event is very popular with the Mexicans in the El
Paso area and is held twice a week. Duelists competing in a bullfight,
either as the bull or bullfighter, receive double prestige.
The Bull and Bullfighter enter from
opposite ends of the arena. The gates are closed once the participants
enter the arena. Prizes range from $50,000 to $500,000 depending on the
matchup and division.
