Basically, me and some friends want to raise some money for charity/brutally murder each other in the woods 
What better way than to have a Hunger Games?
I drew up some rules for 24 tributes, and have found a great place to do it, Oxshott Woods, with the giant sandpit as the Cornucopia. Here is my first draft of rules, any improvements you can think of would be greatly appreciated. Please also suggest number of weapons to buy,we'd want swords,daggers spears and axes,plus we want them cheap as possible but usable. Unfortunately, LARP supplies are so blinking expensive they aren't viable.
---------------
Please read and familiarise yourself with these rules BEFORE the event. Nothing's worse than clumsy, stupid Tributes.
Full face protection is mandatory.
Basic Game Rules:
1.Your aim is to survive the Hunger Games. There will be 23 others trying to do the same, so only the best will win! Last one alive wins, and all money raised goes to a charity of their choice. No exceptions. Tributes are arranged into 12 Districts, and are encouraged to make alliances, you'll struggle otherwise.
2.Tributes must report back to the Cornucopia for food on each each hour, within five minutes. Faliure to do so results in elimination.
3. The Gamemaker's word is final. Any disputes that are brought to him/her about cheating shouldn't really happen, cheating is not cool, and the judgement they make will be measured and carefully thought about. Obey it and the instructions given.
Safety Rules
These are mandatory for playing.
1. Always wear the face protection. This is vital for safety, an arrow in the eye or axe in the mouth isn't going to be fun.
2. Stay hydrated. Pretty self explanatory.
3. Be sensible with combat, especially unarmed. Sword fighting is cool, beating somebody up isn't.
4. Be careful when moving about, especially when running from other tributes. Nobody wants a twisted ankle.
5. Be aware that it is public land-other people have as much right as you to be there. Don't fight around other people.
6. Stay within boundaries.
7. If in an emergency, text the Gamemaker. Don't abuse this, only use phones in an emergency.
Combat Rules
These determine how Tribute fight and kill each other.
Weapon Rules:
1. A hit constitutes a solid thrust or slash with a mêlée weapon,a strike with a thrown weapon, or a strike with an arrow.
2.A hit to the head/neck is an instant kill.
3. Any hit to the torso is certain death, unless a chestplate is being worn AND blocks it. No back protection. The wounded tribute must act out dying, but has 10 seconds to bleed out, and can try to take revenge.
4. Any hit to a limb means it cannot be used for one hour. Arms are limp, a leg hit requires limping.
5. Throwing axes,spears and knives can be thrown, but be sensible!
Unarmed Combat Rules:
1. No punching. Use an open hand to slap away arms.
2. Grappling and wrestling is allowed. Be sensible and know your limits.
3. To make a kill, a Tribute must get someone in a pretend chokehold and hold them. Do not actually strangle, they are not allowed to escape. This renders them 'unconscious'. You may kill them or take them prisoner.
4.Tying up with rope or handcuffs is ok. Don't do them up too tight.
Again, any improvements you have or any suggestions for game events,features and weapon distribution
