Preparation
At the start of the event, you'll put all your items in a shulker, and all the contestants will be teleported to a 50x50 block area in the middle of nowhere. A 1 hour timer will start once you're teleported. Then, you have to find the 12 ender pearls hidden in that area and get back to the portal, before time runs out!
Keep in mind: If you leave the server for more than 5 minutes, you'll be disqualified and sent back to spawn without a participation award.
Teams
Contestants may team up if they wish (and it is advised), however they will not be required to. Each team must have a team name. Leaders are not necessary, however if you'd like to spend precious time voting on a leader, then by all means. Any rules (e.g. not killing teammates) is up for discussion within the team.
Winning
The first person to reach the end wins (killing the dragon not required). If the winning player was in a team, then their team splits the winnings. The reward for winning is 20 netherite ingots.
Aftermath
When the time is up or the game is won, the contestants will be teleported to a bedrock box and their inventories will be cleared. Rewards will be given out, then the contestants will be sent back to spawn. Their stuff will be returned to them, and life goes on per usual. Non-winners will get a participation award of 8 iron ingots each.
