# Watching a round

Anyone who is in the city without an entry is a **spectator** during a fight. You get an invisible, free-flying camera. Nobody can hit you and you cannot hit anyone.

## How to watch

* On the join screen, press **watch a round for free** under Free Roam. You drop into the camera straight away.
* Or just be in Free Roam when a round starts. If you have no entry, you are watching.
* If you enter a round and your deposit lands late, you watch that round and your deposit is refunded.

## Camera controls

| Key          | Does                                                        |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| W A S D      | Fly                                                         |
| Space / C    | Up / down                                                   |
| Shift        | Faster                                                      |
| Click a name | Follow that player. The roster lists everyone in the fight. |
| N            | Cycle through players. The first row is the free camera.    |

{% hint style="info" %}
When your deposit confirms during a lobby you get a body for that round automatically. When you are knocked out and have no entry left, the body goes and you are watching again.
{% endhint %}

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bawsaq.org/the-arena/watching.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
