After all sorts of delays, we can finally host tournaments at our new headquarters! Come and play!

This will be a knightly themed tournament, featuring only medieval weapons sets. Longsword and Sword and Buckler will be played according to a "least worst" ruleset -> a simple deductive afterblow ruleset. They will both be fully scoring league/hema ratings events.

Knightly duelling is an experimental rule set. Bouts will be first to 5 touches, only allowing targets available in armour. Fencers start with a spear, sword and dagger - once discarded a weapon is unavailable in future passes.

Oh, and yes, it'll run on time. We'll be finished by 4 30pm sharp on the Sunday.
