Gladiator and Challenger face-off against one another on two raised platforms, using pugil sticks to knock each other off their platform while trying to remain on their own platform.
A Challenger has 60 seconds to negotiate a playing field from a platform at one end to a platform set at the other using only a series of gymnast rings hung above the arena floor.
Challengers run to and fro across a suspension bridge from two raised platforms. Four Gladiators - two placed on either side of the bridge - are armed with demolition balls.
Five goal pods are placed on a square level playing field - one on each corner and one in the middle. Fifteen balls are located at both ends of the field.
