Space Jousting

Participants: 2 Unisex Sportlers.
Rating Classes: By mass of sportler, light-medium-heavy. Adding of Mass is permitted.
Equipment: Proctective Headhar, ankle-to foot and ellbow-to hand protectors. Suspensorium. One Blunt 1-1.5m (40-60 inch) long carbon lance.
Place: One Zero-G Sphere. Two floating plattforms, oriented to each other, with magnetic strips to the Arm and Leg Guards of the sportlers. The Walls of the Sphere are covered in an Rhombic triacontahedron, demarked in 3 colors:
* 2 Behind the floating plattforms: Red
* 8 Around the floating plattforms: Yellow
* 20 Remaining: Blue

The Rules:
- There are 3 Tilts, with as much additionally required to break a draw.
- Both sportlers start at the floating plattforms.
- On Signal the magnetism keeping them there stops, both kick themselves away from them. The platforms retract into the Red Face of the sphere.
- Both sportlers, accelerated by kicking themselves off, speed at each other and try to hit each other with the lance.
- Their movement impacted by the other sportlers, they than slam into the colored faces. Points are given to the opposing party if:
* Player hits Blue Face: 1 Point.
* Player hits Yellow Face of the half the player started: 2 Points.
* Player hits Red Face of the half the player started: 3 Points.
* Player hist Red or Yellow on the opposing half: 0 Points.
- After 3 Tilts, the player with the most points win.

Example:
Player A and B get the signal and kick themselves toward each other. Player A misses Player B with his lance, but gets hit in return. The force of the hit sends him hurling backward into a yellow face of "his" side of the Sphere. Player B gets 2 Points.

Moving in: How you move onto your opponent is your choice. Technique can mean as much as brute force approach.

Adding Mass: A player is allowed to add mass to his gear to get up into higher Mass Classes. However, if Player X (a 1,50 meter tall young 18 year old) adds enough mass to be in the same Class as Player Y (2 meter tall 28 year old hobby-weightlifter), his muscles may not have enough strength to give him much inertia, so he must rely on technique to overcome his opponent. Its all a question of strategy

Medal Awarding: Tournament Elimination style, with the losers of the semi-finals tilting for bronze. Each Mass Class gets its own Gold Medal.

Protection: The faces have inbuilt gravity generators which create a "gravity cushion" which catches the sportler about to impact on them, and prevent moving to another face by accident or design.


Yes...I was bored.
