Princess's Sleeve Reminder!

The tournament begins at 1: please be prompt and ready for inspections! The format of the tourney has not changed, but here's a refresher:

Bring your best weapons styles for this double-elimination tournament. I expect to see the clean and elegant fighting, clear communication, and honorable comportment that burnish Northshield's reputation across the Known World.

The victor of the tournament will bear the Sleeve as my champion.

The tournament will begin with a short processional. Upon presentation to Her Highness, entrants are invited to share their names and pronouns, where they are from, how long they have been authorized, and one aspect of the SCA that has kept them engaged. Consorts are encouraged to process alongside their fighters.

I ask that the winner use their time as my champion to help newer fencers (unauthorized or authorized 2024 or later) become further engaged with the SCA--whether in developing prowess at fencing or in other areas that bring them joy. All authorized fencers are welcome to enter. I look forward to a thrilling tournament!

The format of the tournament will be a double elimination tree, exact format to be determined at Lupercalia based on the number of entrants. Any tournament-related questions should be directed to the rapier MIC, THL Yagüe Antolínez.
