Opening up a 24/7 duels for gold arena with a strict judge system in place.

To find the dueling arena search for Lux Fortuna or search for Duels for Gold

Many people I have dueled for gold are skeptical of using a judge for matches and so this is a way to combat that. If you don’t want or believe in judges for duels then there’s no point in reading this thread—its for people who want judges for matches who have 100% reliability and 0% scam rate.

For anyone who is wary of trusting a judge, just bet 50silver and try it out.

Process:
1) Contact judge with both players ready to duel
2) Enter the arena
3) Both duelers send the judge gold
4) Complete duel
5) Judge awards winner of the duel total amount bet by both players.

Rules—these are the standardized rules all judges adhere to unless a special request is made by the parties dueling:
1) One match determines winner
2) Duels are to the death (downed is NOT sufficient means for victory)
3) Exiting combat = forfeit
4) Stay within the circle on Courtyard
5) Anyone dueling has the opportunity to spectate another duelers build before accepting to duel
6) Wait for judge to say go before using any skills
7) Ask judge for any clarification or modification of the rules
8) By agreeing to a judged match you agree to the judge’s discretion and in any weird situation the judge will just refund both players their gold and allow them the opportunity to rematch or cancel the match.
9) You assume the risk when you agree to duel. If any player dc’s after the judge has said ‘go’ then he forfeits that match. If you dc before the judge says go then he refunds the gold to both players.
10) Judges can invoke a 30second warning if the match appears to be very long if no one is downed after 30seconds the judge will refund both players.
11) Interfering with a duel in this arena = permanent ban from the arena and any money-matches and will result in a refund to both players dueling.

After you’ve used a judge from this thread it would be much appreciated if you could post your experience with said judge to promote credibility. I will also be streaming these duels for gold next week when I get a better internet connection.

To become a judge you must contact me and I will put you on the un-authorized list of judges. Being there means you are a contact for players who need a judge when the authorized judges are not online. After weeks of sufficient credibility you can be promoted to an authorized judge.

Authorized Judges:
Lux Fortuna (Lux.7169)
Shinju (Shinju.1083)
Jazz Tomassetti (Fernandinajazz.4068)
Malious (bhenry.6134)

Unauthorized Judges:

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Spectator betting?

How does the pay out work? Does the bookie pay out of his own pocket if there are no losing bets / not enough losing bets to take from? Or does he just say “LOL SORRY, there’s no winnings to give you.”

Spectator betting is also open to easy match fixing, especially between friends.
“I put a 10 gold bet on the other guy, take a dive.”

ALL IS VAIN.
PvP modes are the “endgame” in every MMO.
Stop failing at PvE, start fixing PvP/WvW. Thank you.

If there were no counter bets all gold would be refunded prior to the match starting.

As for ‘rigging matches’ it would be pretty obvious and outside of impromptu bets on matches (betting on random matches people are doing in the arena) we will be hosting invitational exhibition matches to top-tier players who want to attend and any sign that they’re legitimately sandbagging or throwing a match = permanent disqualification.

If its obvious that they’re throwing it then all players would be refunded.
