Floatfighting involved grappling techniques and free-fall acrobatics in a zero-gravity environment. It was often a very violent sport and death would sometimes occur.{{Ref/Reuse|BC17}} A floatfight match may consist of several competitors in a free-for-all. The objective of each fighter was to eliminate the others by wounding them or rendering them unable to fight. The floatfight commission would attempt to avoid deaths, although occasionally the remaining two competitors would kill each other. The Combat Section was lined with flexible, vertical bands that allowed for Sangheili combatants to realign their trajectory or position themselves to attack. A net protected the audience from injuries. [[Burnblade]]s, throwing blades, [[curveblade|quartermoon blades]], and spiked gloves and cudgels were used by the Sangheili in the sport.{{Ref/Reuse|BC19}} Sangheili participants were protected by chest armor and a helmet.{{Ref/Reuse| | Floatfighting involved grappling techniques and free-fall acrobatics in a zero-gravity environment.

Floatfighter judges were used to determine when to end a match—usually when a floatfighter was too wounded to fight or near death. However, if a judge decided that a competitor was too wounded, a powerful beam of red light would be projected onto the injured Sangheili. The injured floatfighter would then be required to enter the [[Wikipedia:fetal position|fetal position]] and they would be deemed irrelevant to the rest of the match. Referees, propelled by [[jetpack]]s, would then pull the injured floatfighter out of the competition. The audience would either mock or groan with sympathy for the injured floatfighter, depending on their popularity.{{Ref/Reuse|BC19}} | Floatfighter judges were used to determine when to end a match—usually when a floatfighter was too wounded to fight or near death.
