#Pick 16 people level 31+ to participate in a royal tournament, which is
#basically a 16 player single elimination bracket type battle to the end.
#the winner gets the same reward as a HOG (but only good). The reward
#sort of sucks for people with low TTL and is uber for people with very large
#TTL's. Perhaps some balancing can be done...
