Free For Alls
While there are many possible ways to do fights with more than one fighter, here is the preferred method. In fights with multiple fighters, judges are encouraged to keep score a little differently. The match should be fought for a predetermined amount of flags, between 5 and 12. Each fighter in the match begins with the set amount of flags already in their possession. Each successful hit against them removes as many flags as the move scored points.
Fighters each post one move as normal and must direct who the move is targeted at. Judges discern winners of each contest as normal. However, points can only be scored (i.e. flags removed) by the one attacking. Thus if one fighter attacks a second who is in turn attacking a third, if the move of the second is superior to both the 1st and 3rd then only the 3rd would lose flags in the exchange. When a fighter is out of flags, the fighter is out of the fight.
Losing in a fight with multiple fighters only causes the loser to lose one rank as normal. However, the winner gets to advance 1 rank for each fighter he outlasted (and extra ranks if those outlasted were of a higher tier than he) up to a maximum of 4 ranks.
Team Fights
An alternative to free for all fights are those fights in which the fighters are fighting in teams. In such fights, each team should get 2 flags for each tier possessed by the members of that team. A team of three white belts would have 6 flags. A team of 2 Green Belts would have 12 flags and a team comprised of only a single Brown Belt would have 8 flags.
Each member of the team generates a move and directs it at one of the opposing team. Moves are judged as normal, however, points can only be scored by the one attacking. Scored points remove flags from the opposing team. The first team to run out of flags loses.
Each fighter on the winning team receives 1 rank and each fighter on the losing team loses 1 rank. If the losing team had more flags to begin with than the winning team then the winning team gains 1 extra rank for each member. If the losing team had twice as many flags (or more) as the winning team than the winning team gains 2 extra ranks for each member.
