In the early tournaments, matches could last minutes, leading to very long rounds and overall contests.
To remedy this, after the January 2017 tournament, "shrinkage" was introduced. After a certain time of fighting (usually about 90 seconds), the size of the Ice Rink shrinks by a couple of blocks diameter. This increases the ability for players to knock each other into the water. This shrinkage can repeat up to 5 times, every 60-90 seconds decreasing the diameter of the rink by 1-2- blocks.
Another peculiarity of early tournaments was that competitors used to be given special armour to prevent them from death during a fight (as shown in the gallery below). This then led to the unwanted side-effect of armour breaking in the middle of a round - and even when it didn't, the punches thrown by some competitors were inexplicably more powerful than others, causing death despite the armour's protection.
The Rice Bowl's arena was eventually infused with a magical healing aura some time around the ninth tournament, removing the need for armour to be used and bringing safety back to the sport once and for all.
