Be it singles or melee, matched weapons or bring your best, warriors from the East will meet the challenge. Participants are encouraged to arm and dress to impress as each challenge will be announced and each combatant heralded into the list.

DESCRIPTIONS
Swiss Points Tournament. Bring your best! Rack up points in a best of three passes. Fight other fencers of similar point totals (we'll do all the math, no worries!). Tournament will go to 15 rounds or 2hrs, whichever comes first. Prizes for the Overall Winner, plus the top ranking MoD, OGR, OSR, Novice (under three years, no fencing awards), and Non-Fencing Award (over three years, no fencing awards) competitors.
Duelist Tournament. Single elimination, matched forms. Pairings choose between single sword, sword and dagger, sword and cloak, or sword and buckler. Can't come to an agreement? The Dice of Destiny will decide! Win by "kill" shot, dismembering opponent, or ring out! A prize for the overall winner!
Remy's Challenge: The Art of the Single Sword! Single sword is the foundation of all other fencing forms. Marechal Remy challenges all fencers to flaunt their skill by fighting their bouts with the single sword. This challenge will span across both tournaments. Get a point for every victory you earn with the single sword. The fencer with the most single sword wins will earn themselves a special prize!
Melee Scenarios & Games. We'll run various melee scenarios and games -- both in the woods and the field. Bring your spears and RBGs if you got 'em! Reduced Armor will be suspended if we get more than 10 fencers on the field (sorry, dem the rules).
