Join us for a tournament of skill, silliness, and generosity in support of Toys for Tots! Rapier, armored and youth fighters can enter the tourneys by donating a toy or being sponsored by a toy donor (there will be plenty of extras!).

 

Spectators can then donate a toy to change the stakes, whether by specifying a fighter challenge (use off hands, legs are off limits, etc.) or by making a silly request (do a dance move, trade funny insults, etc.)

 

There is lots of space, so we encourage the populace to bring crafts, games and a friend! 


Martial Combat Schedule:
9:00 - 10:00 Authorizations and inspections (Armoured, Rapier, and Youth)
10:00 - 12:00 Toys for Tots Tourney (Armoured, Rapier, and Youth will share the same list, alternating bouts)
Lunch
After Lunch List Field splits for Armoured and Rapier additional list time

Rapier Afternoon Tourneys:
'Distracted' Single Sword and Bear pit/round robin (if time and energy allow)

'Distracted' Single Sword description:
single sword tournament, the hand not holding the sword is engaged in something else (holding alchohol, holding jewelry, restraining an overly enthusiastic child/bystander, etc).
Due to the off-hand being distracted, a shot to the sword arm ends the fight (for a partial point?)
If the fighter wants greater challenge, their dominant hand is distracted forcing them to use the sword in their non-dominant hand.

 

Participants are encouraged to bring a potluck contribution, or to partake of the many great nearby restaurant options!
