				 Another Death Match Balancing Idea 
 All permanent effects gained while in the arena are removed at the end of the competition, and items are never picked up.  This includes:
 -curses
 -horror marks
 -wounds
 -cursed items
 -etc...
 
 I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement, but it would probably address the most basic complaint that has been leveled at the competition.
