retained. Each round is a minimum of one Duel. Specifics: Every
entrant to the Lyst receives two challenge coins. If you are killed or yield,
you must give up one of the coins in order to fight in the next round. When you
use a coin, all wounds are cleared. Once you use both coins, the
Tournament is over for you. So, technically, you could use up both coins
in the first round against a single opponent, although this is not recommended.
Coins can be used only after a bout ends in a yield or death. </span></font></p>
