A Swiss Five Tournament (with substitutions)
In this bear pit style tournament, the combatants must rotate through their authorization styles, and can not repeat a style until they have cycled through all their styles. For the purpose of this tournament, “Parrying device” shall be split into Hard and Soft parry device categories. In addition, a fencer may chose to substitute their rapier for a dagger. At the end of the bear pit, all combatants shall be asked to vote for who they felt was the most fun to fight, and who showed the most honor on the field. The winners of the votes and the combatant with the most points from the bear pit shall then fight to determine the overall winner of the tournament.
The Swashbuckler Challenge
The Swashbuckler. A dashing adventurer, swinging from chandeliers, wooing fair maidens, and battling foes with a lethal combination of witty banter and expert swordsmanship. Perhaps you have wondered if you have what it takes to be a Swashbuckler? Perhaps you have claimed to be one for years? Well now is your chance to test your skill. So clean your armor, ready your blades and practice your witty one liners for the contest that will determine who is a true Swashbuckler. And don’t forget to brush your teeth; you’ll need it to get that glint of sun to shine off of your heroic smile.
The Swashbuckler challenge shall consist of four challenges:
-
The Swashbuckler pose: Any true Swashbuckler must be able to strike a heroic pose that can make ladies swoon, lords admire, and villains tremble in their boots.
- Contestants shall be introduced to those assembled and asked to strike their heroic swashbuckler pose. Those assembled (both contestants and spectators) shall then vote by a show of hands if they felt the contestant had a good pose. The number of votes a contestant receives will be added to their score in the tournament.
- Dueling Banter: A true Swashbuckler must be able to carry on an exchange of both words and blows with an adversary.
- Contestants shall have a period of 20 minutes to challenge each other in as many matches as time allows. At the end of the each match, each contestant shall report to the minister or mistress of the list and score his/her opponent on their banter.
- Fight Past the Guards: What Swashbuckling adventure would be complete without the hero battling a slew of guards in an attempt to rescue some maiden fair or some prisoner? In this Melee scenario, you must see if you have what ittakes to make it past the waves of guards and rescue the prisoner.
- In this melee scenario, each contestant will have to make their way past three waves of guards.
- An Epic Battle: We’ve all watched with awe as two master swordsmen square off for a battle worthy of tales of glory. For the final challenge, it is time to see if you have the skill to face your opponent in such an epic battle.
At the end of the tournament, the total score for each contestant shall be calculated to determine who is the next true Swashbuckler!
Prizes shall be awarded for the victors of both tournaments.
