[@Dynamo Frokane] Let's say two ring-bearers start a duel.  What happens when a third arrives at the scene?  Does he remain as an observer?  Is he drawn into the conflict?

Ahh well here is where you need to use a bit of imagination, the 'duel' can only be seen by mythic ring people, but in real time, it happens almost instantly as the battles take place in a timeless dimension. A ring bearer can intervene, but then the 'honor' of the duel is lost and there is no prizes or rank increase.
