Lady Mary Memorial Tournaments

The Armoured Combat Tournament Format – MIC: Lord Iustus di Cordoba

Fencing Tournament: MIC: Baron Alistair Kirk

To start the day:

Some three-person team scenarios that are heavy on fun and light on competition. It will be a great way to warm up both your minds and your swords for the day.

Tensions are high, with rival gangs in town.

Scenario 1: You run into your rivals unprepared. Each group rolls a D6 to see how many swords your group gets.  (Unlimited daggers and defensive objects.)

Scenario 2: You run into your rivals in a narrow alley, only one person wide. What’s your strategy?

The Lady Mary Memorial Fencing Tournament:

By request, a standard double-elimination tournament.

The Rising Waters Baronial Championship:

                The Mostly Friendly Tournament. All are welcome to participate. This is a round-robin, first-blood tournament. Detailed rules will be posted on the Ealdormere fencing Facebook page and explained in detail at the event before we begin.

                In short, if you kill your opponent, you win and get points. However, if you only wound your opponent, you win and get more points. This format is a friendly first blood exercise between friends. Killing your friends is bad. Not as bad as dying or losing, but still bad.

                The fencer with the most points wins the tournament. The fencer from Rising Waters with the most points will become Baroness Sciath’s Rising Waters Fencing Champion.

If time allows, the Tournament of Defence:

The Master George Silver Tournament of Defence.  This is a single-elimination, wounds-retained tournament. Detailed rules will be posted on the Ealdormere fencing Facebook page and explained in detail at the event before we begin.

In short, if you die, you are out. If there is a double kill, both of you are out. If you lose a limb, you have lost it for the duration of the tournament. This format is to encourage people not to be quite so cavalier about getting stabbed by a large piece of steel. Being stabbed by a large piece of steel is a serious matter, to be avoided whenever possible.

Archery Tournament Details – MIC: Magistra Nika Dmitrieva doch’Zvezdina

For those who just want to stop by and shoot casually, you are welcome at any time except during the Lady Mary shoot.
