The '''Melee''' is a annual [[Rithmatics]] competition run by [[Armedius Academy]].{{book ref|rithmatist|1}}
Lots are drawn before the match to determine the positioning of the different students in the arena, with the middle being the worst position, as it allows the group or person to be surrounded. A combatant is considered eliminated if their circle is breached, whereupon they leave the arena. The last person or team left with their circle intact wins the Melee.{{book ref|rithmatist|25}}▼
It tests the skills of Rithmatic students. Each professor is able to enter a team consisting of up to twelve students, and must send at least one student.{{book ref|rithmatist|20}} Having had one’s students win in the Melee is a point of pride for many professors at Armedius. [[Fitch|Professor Fitch]] considers it to be largely meaningless, and has never had a student win the Melee before [[Melody Muns|Melody]] and [[Joel Saxon|Joel]].{{book ref|rithmatist|5}}▼
Those who win the melee get assigned important posts at [[Nebrask]], and are more likely to become squadleaders or captains.{{book ref|rithmatist|14}} All of Melody Muns’ siblings have won the Melee at least twice, with [[William Muns]] winning it all four years he was eligible.{{book ref|rithmatist|20}}

== Notable Melees ==
=== 1888 Crew-Choi duel ===
[[Paul Crew]] and [[Adelle Choi]] were the final two Rithmatists remaining in the 1888 Melee. Paul's team had been able to protect him for most of the match, leaving him with an almost pristine circle. Adelle's team had been eliminated during the first few minutes. She was heavily bombarded by Lines of Vigor and [[chalkling]]s from Paul and her defense was almost gone when she bounced a Line of Vigor off of three Lines of Forbiddance to reach a weak point at the rear of Paul's circle. This won her the match.{{book ref|Rithmatist|1}}
