5. Required Fight Procedures
For any wagered fight facilitated through ArenaMC, users must comply with all required procedures.
Before a fight begins:
A. Recording Requirement
Both fighters must start POV recording before any other pre-fight step and keep recording through the outcome.
POV becomes mandatory when a dispute occurs, results are disputed, or admin review is needed.
Recordings must clearly show the Fight ID typed in local chat, combat, and the outcome.
If a dispute arises, fighters must promptly submit their POV recording link. Failure to provide required evidence may result in forfeiture.
B. Fight Identification Requirement
Before a fight begins, both participants must visibly type the assigned Fight ID into local in-game chat while recording.
The Fight ID must be visible in POV recordings when evidence is required for disputes or admin review.
This requirement exists to verify identity, verify the correct fight, prevent fraudulent submissions, prevent replay manipulation, and assist dispute review.
Failure to properly display the Fight ID in your recording may result in forfeiture or administrative action.

Both fighters must be present at the agreed arena or location before combat begins.
Failure to appear within the scheduled window may result in no-show forfeiture or administrative action.
