Melee or pell-mell refers to disorganized battles fought at close range with little central control once it starts.
A Melee Referee should be elected prior to melee combat.
-
- The Melee Referee does not battle.
- The Melee Referee observes combat.
- The Melee Referee stops a duel if there is a problem.
- All mock combatants must obey the Melee Referee without argument or delay — no matter how convinced you might be that the Melee Referee made an error.
Even within a melee battle, mock combat should generally be duels (one-on-one combat) to avoid injuries and misunderstandings.
While they may be no central control once a melee begins, all mock warriors are expected to remain in control of themselves during mock melee combat.
