The two main race formats are the '''Fig Five''' and the '''Five Solid'''

The '''''Fig Five''''' or '''''"Five Ring Route"''''' is one of the most popular formats on Randal.  It is televised regularly and experienced riders can build a strong fan base.

Among the most popular motorcycle, Zipp and Hoverpod race formats. 


*4 rings( A,B,C,D), surround a center ring in the middle of a square called the Flats. Starting on the North Flat, near the B Ring the riders go toward A Ring where the Spots will dictate if they enter the Left or Right entrance to the Ring.  As they exit "A ring" the Spots on the center ring dictate which Flat they take. The race continues with riders following the directions of the spots, which vary from rider to rider .   The race proceeds till the lead rider has passed through the designated number of passages; usually a race is 20, 42, or 100 passages. 

*Fig 5 vehicles had a pair of direction mounted lights on their display that informs them which is the next left/right or flat designation they must proceed to. 

A the race progreses differant  directed left or right at each of the 4 intersections causing the riders to risk crashing into each other.  Green or Red Lights tell the rider which left or right course to take.  Races take 50,75 and 100 Circles and the winner is the first to complete that number.

===Hotel and Casinos===
Many climes have beaches and diving.  Casino hotels are popular for tour groups and personal explorations.

Gambling is allowed on all activities depending on the venue policies.  

*'''''Rigging''''' or Fixing results is not illegal but tends to be frowned on. It plays a part in many stories of a theatrical nature and in much of the popular entertainment methods. However Court cases involving assaults, even murders, involving a ''Sports Rigger'' tend to be considered justifiable.  A sportsman discovered to have taken money to lose a result for the profit of gamblers is often blackballed in respectable establishments.  Should they be murdered, the police rarely make a big effort to solve the crime. Crime Lords involved in ''rigging'' sports results often meet messy ends and are not missed.

====Combat Sports====
*Star fleet prohibits Death Sports although some sports are fairly dangerous.  But since Randal is not technically a Federation planet it does have active combat sports.  
=====Medieval Jousting=====
A popular equestrian sport.  Jousts comprise only horse and lance combat.  Armed personal combat on foot is not part of this sport.  Generally this is one on one though some group melees are staged.  
Reputation is important in the sport.  
*This is a colorful sport that highlights pageantry, heraldry, and manly display.  Men and women participate in mixed lists. 
*In a galaxy including Amber Star Fleet that recognizes the existence of many universes there is often a mix of participants from advanced societies and medieval or sword age realms.   
=====Knife fighting=====
Knife Fighting is a common sport in small venues, clubs, alleys, and private residences.  While knife fights occur in the WC&LCA they are not strictly speaking part of the underground communities of knife fighting.  Participants fight under agreed terms at best and with no terms at the worst.

While not strictly speaking illegal a lot of the locations seem involved in less then savory enterprises along side of them.  Knife fighters are seen as dangerous elements of society. 

*Tregal Far, Lord of the Games-32:  

A legend arose among the knife fighters when Shega Far, daughter of Tregal Far was raped and slain while attending the Wolf's Den for knife fights.  The event was captured on recorders showing 12 identifiable knife fighters, a few friends and a group of their ladies involved in a drunken scene that led to her temporary death.  Taken to a medical center she was put in stasis, transported to a Star Fleet ship and taken to Vulsar Base for long term regeneration.

The knife fighters made sport of her and her treatment afterward releasing the recordings for the public.  Much of it was used in niche porn.

Outraged at the incident itself and the aftermath,  Tregal Far returned from Vulsar Base regenerated and having had complete facial renovation and the removal of all the tattoos and markings that were part of his public recognition as a Lord of the Games.  Returning to Randal he acted like a youth diving into the underworld of the club scenes that revolve arou

=====Armored Melee=====

=====Firearms Sports=====

*Field Hunt: In Field Hunts groups of various descriptions enter at various points on the edge of a enclosed space.  The space might be as small as a square mile and as large as hundreds of square miles.   Weapon systems vary by event but usually are stun fire or Laser tag designation. 
**Tiger Field Hunts are a rare event held in the Tiger region.  Participants usually use heavy stun against each other with the possible danger of being attacked by tigers.  This is considered a death sport by many on Randal. 

=====Warrior Core=====

the WC&LGA pops up in many places across shadow with generally similar rules and accouterments. On Randal the the WC&LGA was imported from the Vulsar Bae usage.  Specifically the rules call for non-lethal encounters using the 10 Called Rule though an option to use the Honor Rule.

Rentar has its own group of Lords of the Games.
