Page "Amtgard" Paragraph 10

Battlegames range from one-on-one tournaments to team battles of forty or fifty people to mass warfare with hundreds of players.

The largest " grand melees " are held at the major annual events and can incorporate hundreds of members from chapters all over the world.

Conversely, scripted " quests " can involve just a dozen or two participants, and may involve puzzles as well as combat.

The ditch battle, or trench battle, is a simple form battle that involves weapon use only, not full class play.
