Tournament Information

Heavy Combat

Summits June Investiture will also hold the Tournament to determine the next Summits Defender. As per the outgoing Summits Defender, HL Marcus Octavius Rufus, the focus will be on a fighter’s stamina. This will be a Bring your Best “Mini Ursalmas” format in which the first round will be split between two list fields, and will be a Round Robin. The second round will be between the top 2 from each field in a random pairing semi finals. Both the Semi Finals and the Finals will be fought as a best 3 out of 5 tournament. The exact bracket structure may need to be adjusted based on list size.

Rapier Combat

The Masters of Defense cordially invite all authorized rapier fighters to test their skills and show their honor in an Open Field Tournament followed by a MoD Invitational on Saturday afternoon. Prepare to have your fill at the steel buffet during two 20-minute sessions with a 10-minute break between sessions. This is Open Field, so fighters pick their pairings, and fight as many people and fights as possible within each 20-minute time slot. After both sessions have ended, all Masters of Defense present will determine which four fighters will square off in a single elimination tournament.

Torchlight Fundraiser Tourneys (Steel and Heavy):

Please join us Friday night as Heavy and Steel fighters fight in side-by-side list fields to raise funds for Mission 22. With the minimum $5 donation, a fighter will buy a life for a single-elimination tournament. For an additional $3, the fighter can have a second life. For a $10 donation, a fighter will get three lives for the tournament. No fighter can gain more than three lives, but donations above $10 are welcome. The populace is also welcome to sponsor fighters or simply donate. Mission 22 is a non-profit organization that is working to lessen the Veteran suicide-rate through treatment programs, memorials, and national awareness. Thanks to the generosity of both our Captain of Tigers and Her Excellency Adiantum there will be prizes for the winners of Rapier, Cut & Thrust, and Heavy Combat.
