Has anyone thought of having saber fights in like some remote location and placing bets.. Sorta like boxing or **** fights??

I was thinking advertisement and finding a remote location (living in the country and having a big yard would be nice).
You have several fighters a night and they have to check in and have there sabers examined before hand.
Then everyone places there bets on who they think will win in a first blood match, or last man concious match, or even have some type of beam where the two duelers would duel on and the first person to fall off loses..

You could make some good money and all of this would take place at night ..
You could even web cast it too and people can watch it for free or a small fee and place bets..

one big problem betting is ileagl in almost all states and I am sure they would apply the same charges from **** fighting to the saber fighting, which here not only can they charge the one running it but they also charge those watching.

Yes but if no one knows anyone is betting and someone is recording and you just say you are doing a film then it shouldn't be a problem...
Come up with a story and stick to it.. [}:)]

I'm sorry, but this is a horrible idea. Not only is it against the law, but it's just plain stupid. Why on earth would you want to turn it into a sport, let alone a gambling sport?

I dunno... I'd kinda like to see someone get beat unconscious with a lightsaber. [:D]


EDIT-

As long as they are willing participants I should say.

Do-Clo did a wonderful job with the legal issues on this so I will skip that and go to the health issues. Who is covering the medical expenses? If you think that you can set up a gambling sport and the opponents are going to still just dual for fun as friends then you are out of your mind. ANYTIME money is involved it is no longer just a friendly competition.

Bottom line: PolyC at 1/8" thickness may not be bulletproof but it will darn sure break bones.

When money is involved many people will find ways to cheat sorta like corking a baseball bat, only in this case putting a metal rod in the center on the blade. [xx(]

Well I have a diff view on this lol. I don't agree with the betting aspect, think its kind of stupid. But I do stick fighting at my MA school occassionally and its fun stuff. We use padded sticks for safety but they still sting like crazy.

As for doing this with lightsabers I say why not? Just make sure to be wearing some kind of gloves(we use street hockey gloves for stick) and some kind of headgear. Its not like you would be going to town on each other, just having some light fun.

Oh and speaking from experience you def do not what to try it w/o some kind of protection. My hands are sooo messed up from my bokken days its not even funny.

So if you wanna spar fine, if you want to do what NooB wants your gay. Gay gay gay gay, and I don't know who your friends are but they're gay too. lol

Cheers All

A sparing session would be good with rules and protection. But betting and beating the holy keck out of some one with our light sabers not a good idea[:(]

Careful of your comments countdown, you are treading on a topic that could make that religion/ good-evil thing look like a small squabble. Hitogiri made a great comment and again I think that almost everyone here would enjoy a little training/dualing for fun and to learn/showoff. Quite frankly, anyone looking to try to beat the heck out of someone and win some money doing it has issues in my book.

Nothing wrong with a saber club.... Just like a fight club....
Everyone signs a waiver before dueling and know that death may result..
Far as what Do-clo said about putting a rod in the blade.
Well that is why in my first post on this I said there would be inspections...
If you fail inspection you loose..
They don't have to be friends but anyone who wants to duel with lightsabers and wacth..
Have someone with a camera and only record the dueling and say you are doing a fan film and the people around here are just fillers for the movie..
There's ways around things...

If Judges and prosecutors can turn the courts in to criminal organizations then why not have dueling matches?

If you're to afraid to go out and risk your life in a duel then don't do it.. [:o)]

I bet $100.00 some people are anal, cause they can't take a joke...
I am 26..
I was only joking around about the whole thing..
I was only wanting to see what comments or ideas people would like to throw on top of that..

I actually duel with my brother from time to time..
I don't wear gloves, haven't busted nuckles but have caught my shins arms and ankles...

I gave some thought to saber fighting as a sport and I came up with a solution, we contact Spike TV and request that they include saber fighting as part of the show MXC and we can all sit back and enjoy. After all some folks are willing to do anything to be on television. [8D]
