A strange little side quest
Between one round of Champions of Chaos and the next, this is worth knowing: A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. It also connects to a different milestone: Boxing was part of the ancient Olympic Games by 688 BC, long before gloves, weight classes, or timed rounds existed in anything like their modern form. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
