It's easier to experience something yourself rather than have somebody try to explain something rather complicated.

That thread'll explain the basics. After reading that and getting an idea, check out some of the fights.
I think that's what he refered to as the "default definition".
You'll need to read it though to get the rules . . . I can repost them all here, but I already wrote them once, and I'm not likely to change how I present them the second time.
You start off with 1000 xp, you challenge or accept challenges, and fight according to the stipulations that the referee includes. The default fight length is best of three rounds. You write off the previous winners round, as if those events were the ones that actually happened. You gain the full xp of the vanquished, and one tenth that amount if you loose to them instead. You need to have higher XP to fatality the loser at the end of the final winning round (before you add on their XP total). You get to attack twice in your post, and your opponent must have a significant attack of their own (slaps and other nonsense are not attacks). For this reason, everyone posts and maintains bios in the bio thread. This way no one guesses what your attacks are when they write for you. You can't challenge for a title unless you defeat the number one contender (even if you have defeated the current champ in the past.)
