The Elite Ten

The top ten ranked fighters in the first underground tournament collectively became known as the "Elite Ten," the ten strongest fighters in the world. Eventually, an entire hierarchy descended from this. The positions of the ten strongest were constantly fought and vied for. If you defeated an Elite Ten in a fight, you took their position.

Only the Elite Ten could compete in each underground world tournament, making the positions all the more valuable to underground fighters. That is why it is crucial to hold onto your position for at least 3 months, so that it can be officially validated.

Elite Ten title challenges are always 1 vs. 1, and done in the presence of no less than the other ten ranked members making up the top 20 fighters in the world, to prevent cheap shots or ambushes.

The Elite Ten list is updated every two weeks. So, when a new person defeats a former Elite Ten, he or she have two weeks of immunity before he or she is subject to challenges.

Tournament dates are announced well in advance, so the Elite Ten must be ready at a moment's notice.
