Can someone tell, what are the rules of the Chiaraje?
- Maximum size of ammunition?
- The duration of the event?
- Teams or Individuals?
etc...

Thank you ! These links deal with a lot of things.
The purpose is to kill. And it's fun for them.

By chance, Chiaraje 2019 has been today. (20.1.)

Though I can appreciate the sport of it I don't think I'd ever participate. Getting hit in the head with rocks isn't my cup of tea.

Do they accept people who don blue war-paint and are mostly naked except for boxers?

Because If I was ever going to go to the Chiaraje, this is how I would do it, In style. ;)

it is brutal. But, it gives rare information.
All the information (Sling war) is old legends or stories.
This is a real battle, in which an attempt to kill the opponent. Target is not fixed "Diana", a fixed distance. The target is moving and trying to kill you.

Would I attend the Chiaraje? No. I'm crazy in a different way. :D
