==Basic Information== The [[Solaris VII Royal Fantasy Tournament]] ('''S7RFT''') is a unique exhibition match series tailored to small teams and stables, rather than the major state- and conglomerate-backed competitors. These tournaments may not be the epic duels where one might see the next [[Kai Allard-Liao]] or [[Gray Noton]], but what they lack in power players, they more than make up for in showmanship and character.<ref name=XTRORFp22>''Experimental Technical Readout: Royal Fantasy'', p. 22 "3146 Royal Fantasy Rules"</ref> It is not known when this tournament started, but it was still active during the [[Dark Age]], and for sure still on [[3146]]. The 3146 edition of the Tournament is particularly unique because of the assembly of something similar to a running theme, with all of its qualifying warriors and their teams bringing [[BattleMech]]s and [[battle armor]] suits inspired by heroines of classic folktales. The combination of their unique skills with some of the latest and greatest developments in combat technology, these gladiators are sure to make 3146 a year to remember!<ref name=XTRORFp22/> ==Organization== The '''S7RFT''' is opened only to freelancers, rather than major stables and cooperatives. These individual warriors and small teams have been sponsored by governments, corporations, and other interests, but their small-time nature and modest skills on a world teeming with champion fighters has left them outside of the normal dueling circuit. These sponsors have granted these teams access to a wide range of sophisticated hardware, with some of the latest battlefield technologies with which to customize their gear—all for the chance to demonstrate their skills and tech before millions of bloodthirsty viewers!<ref name=XTRORFp40/> The final winner of the Solaris VII Royal Fantasy Tournament is the team with the last surviving warrior at the end of the third round match in Steiner Coliseum. Congratulations, a pile of stuffed animals, a giant gold trophy in the shape of a fairy tale castle, lots of [[C-bill]]s, and a possible [[holovid]] deal with a major interstellar entertainment giant will all go to that lucky contestant.<ref name=XTRORFp40b>''Experimental Technical Readout: Royal Fantasy'', p. 40 "Playing the Tournament"</ref> The 3146 Solaris VII Royal Fantasy Tournament ('''S7RFT''') is a three round, elimination-style event that takes place over the course of three days in the "off season" between major tournaments. Though billed as a series of exhibition matches, the Royal Fantasy Tournament duels still use live ammunition, which can be particularly dangerous for all involved.<ref name=XTRORFp40>''Experimental Technical Readout: Royal Fantasy'', p. 40 "THE 3146 SOLARIS VII ROYAL FANTASY TOURNAMENT"</ref> ===Tournament Rules=== * In order to balance matches, some teams might be forced not to field all their strength in a given match. * If a Team pilot is killed in a Match and the Team emerged victorious, the Winning Team has the option to use a backup MechWarrior from the Team to cover the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] place (with an equivalent skill or worse). If no substitute MechWarrior can be found inside the Team, a MechWarrior from a previously eliminated Team of the same/allied faction affiliation (and with equivalent skill or worse) may act as a substitute warrior to fight in the slain warrior's stead. If no suitable substitute warrior is available for a subsequent match, and the team therefore cannot post a force reasonably capable of defeating its scheduled opponent, it must forfeit the match.<ref name=XTRORFp40c>''Experimental Technical Readout: Royal Fantasy'', p. 40 "Casualties"</ref> * If a Team 'Mech is fully destroyed but the MechWarrior survives, a Team can try to find a substitute mount. First it has to check if they can field a suitable substitute unit within the Team. If that fails, they will ask for a suitable substitute unit from the rosters of an allied affiliated team that has already been eliminated. If none is found, they can bring to fight a random 'Mech from its Random Assignment Table for its faction of affiliation and using as weight class either medium or light.
