The standard tournament
A 1 on 1 duel with participants. killing the opposition is frowned upon but due to the business happens more often than would be appreciated. this happens in a stadium with a ring.

Teamed Events
Groups of 4-10 participate in either any of the other games or a treasure search through a labyrinth. The group that acquires the most in the labyrinth and departs wins. Each group enters a different entrance in the latter of which. The group would need to traverse a maze to find chests containing treasure. Groups can face each other down to take what ever they have. however if all but one team is eliminated the game is declared over and they must make do with the treasure they have on them. the reward is the treasure itself.

Archery

Field Archery
A test of not just ones ability to shoot but to hunt and track, participants are released into a forest. Whilst within they are given a time limit of a day to fell as many game or beasts as they can, in as clean a shot as they can, and in as few as they can. They are given two quiver of non enchanted arrows to use, each with a specific colored band around the arrow shaft tied to them. but they can not reuse arrows on kills. Nor can they steel an opponents. Judging is then done via a scoring system based on size of the animal, distance the arrow flew and how quickly it would have killed them. Multiple shots though do not stack and they do not add in the multiplier for swiftness of death. The primary measure would be the difficulty of the shot, and the judges examining the kill at the end are well versed in archery and animal kill shots to be able to recreate from the body and the arrow entry and depth how it went. combined with the judges within the woods account of the matter.
