The story focuses on a planet where the local team sport is (more or less) sword combat to the death. It has quite a bit of fun with the parallels to football (or, frankly, most team sports), which helps along the plot of a negotiator brought in to end the bloodshed not being quite what he's been cracked up to be. There's the occasional moment of dark humour, largely from the commentator, and, while this is never going to be a true classic in the range, it's above the average.
