Hourglass Arena
Greenwich, England
By Norman McMullen
 
    The Hourglass Arena is built across the International Date Line, enabling duellists to duel across two days in every fight. The arena is designed like a hourglass, capitalizing on the time relation to Greenwich. The arena is open year-round and to all kinds of weather. Seating available is 60,000.

The walls are fifteen feet tall and have infinite DP. The gates have 40 DP and can be opened or closed in three turns.  The choke point and tunnels can be closed off with gates to limit duelling space. There are six universally turreted VMGs for defense mounted at the choke point and at the tunnel entrances.

Beating the Hourglass- Duellists must go through the tunnels and choke point in a figure-eight course, then return to their starting gates. The one with the fastest time wins. Dropped weapons are forbidden in this event.

Running Out of Time- There is a set amount of time for the duel (10, 20, or 30 turns). The duellist with the most kills at the end wins. There are no restrictions on dropped weapons.

Ringing in The New Year- Held every New Year's Eve; at night and in all kinds of weather. The winner of the event gets free Gold Cross service and passes to the arena for a year. The division and conditions of the duel are the promoters choice.
