&quot;Well he-llooo everyone! On the day of weed- yes, Yuri, that's what kids call it these days- we'll be doing the final match! After a review by qualified judges, Quintus moves on, and it's the finalists! Quintus vs Jiyu!&quot; <i>The fighting ring from round 1 is gone, replaced with a large, open dirt field.</i>

<i>It's almost time for round 3's last match. The golden-eyed feline commentator is sitting on a crate in the middle of a maze, with walls about six feet high. In the dead center is a golden cat statue on a pedestal. All that's left to do is wait...</i>

<i>The arena is the same as ever, set up for Round 2's final match tomorrow. A wooden platform is where a two-tailed silver cat is sleeping. The pool just under the wooden planks is still. Come back tomorrow for a conclusion to this round!</i>

&quot;Welcome! While we sort out the, er... schedule conflicts for another match, we'll be moving onto round 3!&quot; <i>The crowd cheers, and Panthera Dox points at the stage. It's about the same size as the last arena, although it's lacking water. Instead, it's a maze-like area with walls a bit over 6 feet in height. The center is an open area with a cat statue on an altar.</i> &quot;This round'll be about grabbing a treasure and keeping it! Now, may our contestants enter the ring?&quot;

<i>This arena seems rather empty at the moment, although a few spectators have already arrived. A humanoid cat, one of the tournament's workers, sits at the judge's bod with a tape recorder.</i> <i>The battlefield is a wooden platform in a large pool, supported just a few inches above the water by multiple poles. Some more cat workers are waiting at the edges with stacks of multicolored disks beside them.</i>

&quot;EITO, MAGUS, PLEASE ENTER THE ARENA!&quot; <i>A voice echoes throughout this golden stadium. A golden-eyed cat person sits at a booth high in the stands, holding a microphone. Down in the center is what seems to be a large, modified wresting ring. Multiple plastic pillars litter the surface. Surrounding the outside is a red circle.</i> &quot;I REPEAT, PLEASE ENTER THE RING!&quot;

&quot;Hello, everyone!&quot; <i>A feline person practically purrs into the microphone. Their golden eyes gleam as the screen behind them comes to life.</i> &quot;I'm pleased to announce that the tournament is set, and shall commence soon! Here are our brackets! Two of our lucky contestants won't be fighting round 1 due to the number of contestants and teams, but don't worry! It'll be fine!&quot; [Bracket: http://challonge.com/nzuea07m ] &quot;I'll take any questions you have! And contestants, work out times for matches and communicate them to me through Discord or on site! The Discord link is https://discord.gg/BYKJyp &quot;

A loud cough echoes from the center of a park. A few golden speakers are set up, along with a black microphone. A cat-person with golden eyes stands at the front of this display. &quot;Thank you, thank you... As agreed in the contract made to bring me here, I am happy to announce the Fightus Catus tournament! A test of strength, cunning, and virtue! You can either compete alone, or with a partner. To sign up, please put your name and the time you'll be available!
