Traci is taking the Academy Gauntlet Challenge. She will face up to 4 opponents, each from one of the 4 Senior Academy Houses. The Houses each pick a warrior to represent them in the Gauntlet, and once the 4 fighters arrive they are put in separate waiting rooms in each corner of the arena. An hour before the bell, a moderator visits each girl and has them draw a number out of a hat. The numbers range from 1 through 4. This is the order in which they will enter the ring.
Fighter 1 will enter the ring first and will take Traci on one on one for as long as ten minutes. If Traci knocks her out, Fighter 2 will be called out from her waiting room once five minutes has passed. If it already has, she will be summoned out of her waiting room immediately. If Traci is knocked out at any point the fight is over. If 10 minutes passes and both girls are still conscious, Fighter 2 will be called out of the waiting room and enter the ring.
At this point a potential double team situation arises, and the Academy fighters can team up to take out Traci. This almost never happens, as Academy girls tend to despise fighters from other Houses more than any non-Academy fighter.
If any of the Academy fighters knock Traci unconscious, that fighter is credited with a professional victory and will earn 1000 credits. Her House will also receive 100 Points toward taking the Annual Academy Banner.
In order for Traci to emerge victorious, she must have all 4 opponents in the ring unconscious at the same time. She will then receive 5000 credits and will be off to spend the night with Ishmael in The Castle. She will also have earned the very prestigious Academy Gauntlet Victory Belt.
Enya from House Ginger draws the 1 and will be Traci’s first opponent.
