Cagematch Rules

Welcome to the world's most dangerous improv show, where two mighty teams of gladiators will take the stage to prove who is the best of the best.

Each team will be given 25 minutes to perform, no more, no less.

Each team can call one 30 second time out.

Each member of the audience is given 1 ballot as they enter the arena. Do not lose your ballot, as you will not be given a new one.

Once the show begins, no more ballots are given out. You must watch both teams to have a vote.

That night's performers are not allowed to vote, however, everyone else in the room is eligible to vote. That night's host will count the ballots. The team with the most number of audience votes wins.

Write-in votes for teams not actually competing will be disallowed.

The decision of the host is final. No whining. No recounts. The host will choose the winner in the event of a tie.

This is meant to be a friendly competition. Harassment and intimidation during the performance by either the performers or members of the audience will not be tolerated. The host will not hesitate to eject people for such behavior.

The host can assess penalties and make up rules at his discretion.

Kicking a tray of hot wings into the audience is strictly prohibited.

Performers are not allowed to throw chairs at audience members.

Stacking the audience is not only allowed, but encouraged.
