That seems... a rather cruel way to settle an indifference between people. To leave a permanent mark, even to kill another, does that not go too far? I do not understand the need for such violent customs even if it was used to the advantage of the dragons.

I do not expect you to tell me the whole story but... Zuko... did he receive his mark during one of these duels?
