Armored Combat 

Tournament Of Alacrity 

In the first "round" all fighters are given a single opponent and the round is fought simultaneously on the one list field. All losers then move to a second list field and new opponents are selected on both fields. Any losers from the winners' field move to the losers' field. Any victors on the losers' field move to the winners' field. Any losers on the losers' field will have been defeated twice, so they are eliminated from the tournament. This continues until there is only one fighter left or the number of remaining fighters are small enough to allow other tournament styles to be implemented.(Round Robin if needed.)

2:30PM-4:00PM Cut & Thrust Polearm Tournament

Combatants must enter the list wielding a polearm. Combatants will be allowed to bring a dagger worn on the hip, but no swords will be permitted.

The format will be a round robin tournament that will break to either semifinals or finals depending on the number of participants. Each bout will be fought to five passes. Each pass will end as soon as at least one combatant has been struck. If both combatants are struck, regardless of where, the fight will be considered a double and will be a loss for both. Each time a combatant is struck they will receive two points. Each time a double occurs, both combatants will be given three points. The two combatants with the least number of points will make it to the semifinals/finals.

Grappling is encouraged for all those who are authorized.
