COMBAT SCENARIOS:
Combat will be a single elimination style tournament. A second life may be gained with submission of an Arts & Sciences entry or a period bardic piece. Entries will be on display for the populace to enjoy in a static display. After submission, fighters will be given a token to give to the list officer, redeeming their second life (If you plan to take your entry into combat, please provide a photo and a brief description of the piece for the display).
There will be a “Most Well Rounded Fighter” of the day competition. The winner will be selected from among the fighters who enter in the most of the day’s events (A&S, Bardic, Chivalry). Sign up at the List table.
There will also be a People’s Choice “Fighter Edition” competition. The populace will be able to vote for fighters based on their combat prowess, chivalric behavior, their beauteous armor, or even how well they die. Votes can be cast during or immediately following any fight throughout the day.
