Friday March 31st, 2017 to Sunday April 2nd, 2017
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.
- His Highness, Prince of the Mists, encourages and promotes weapons depth as much as possible.
- Weapon choice constraints:
Princess’s Tea
Her Highness has generously declared her intention to hold a Princess’s Garden Tea. This begins as soon as the Rose field is opened. It will feature Kuub as a game for all to join in. Silly hats are encouraged. Extra bonus points will be awarded for unicorn references and cookies. The Princess’s Garden Tea will be at the Royal Pavilion.
