Come all gentles and witness the pageantry of chivalry, the breathtaking examples of skills finely honed and share in the companionship of society members from all around.
Princeps Antonii Machinevik and Pricepessa Helga Skaldmaer will hold a tournament to decide Their heirs. Your Principality Royals have thought long and hard on ways to challenge the great and skilled fighters of the Mists. Their tournament format is as follows:
Tournament Format:
- Double elimination.
- It is strongly encouraged that in the 3rd round you use great weapons in your matches. Limited weapons and sets of gauntlets are available to borrow for this round.
- Final match – 5 rounds, best three of the five
Each round will require each combatant to choose a weapon style not previously used.
Combatants are encouraged to match or counter weapons styles as mutually agreed upon.- Bucklers do not count as shields
- Using a Madu or broken lance or spear in combination with a sword can only be done once; the combination of either listed long weapon and sword counts as Florentine. If you can kill someone with the device in your offhand, by kingdom convention, it counts as a distinct round and cannot be repeated.
