Good gentles, a challenge will be held to determine the next Northern Region Rapier Champion of the East! Format will be Round Robin with rotating weapon forms – each pass, every fencer must choose a weapon form different from the last two they have selected, with the exception of single sword which may be used any number of times. The number of passes per pairing is to be determined by the marshal in charge, informed by tournament attendance. The two highest scoring fencers at the end of the round robin will reset their form selections and engage in five passes, rotating weapon forms under the same rules between each. The champion will be the fencer with the most points within those five passes, provided their comportment rules them fit for the title. It bears repeating that courtesy and comportment are first and foremost the markings of a champion, and should remain a priority second only to safety while taking the field.
Rules: Fencers will be allotted one point per victory, and zero points per defeat. Double kills will be refought once, if there is a second double kill neither party will score for the pass. If a bout ends in a draw, each combatant will be awarded half a point. There will be no death from behind. Knee walking is legal. Rubber band guns are for use as rigid parry only, and must be unloaded. Spears are only permitted with the enthusiastic consent of both combatants. Cut & Thrust combat is permitted only with the enthusiastic consent of two properly-armored combatants. Attending excellencies of the Northern Region and any who they bestow the privilege upon have fiat power to select any combatant’s (authorized) weapon form as they see fit.
If you are an EK Authorized Fencing Fighter please feel free to try your hand to become our new Northern Region Fencing Champion! Prize of Baldric, tittle to put on your wiki and a feather in your cap to show you are a proud member of a distinct lineage
