Registration Information

How to cross the moat to the most beautiful part of Tir Righ (aka Ferry Reservations):

-ferry reservations are strongly recommended for those travelling by car. It’s never too early to book!

-although you only pay for one direction on the ferry between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale, you can make a reservation both ways. If you are lucky, you can get a $0 reservation for the way home, but you have to proceed with the farce of “paying” even if it is for zero dollars.

-please note that reservations are constantly coming available on the BC Ferries website as booked passengers change their plans. Keep checking back

-for those travelling by foot, we can set up some shuttles with advance notice

-the site is approx 15 minutes from the ferry

Bunks are reserved in advance and are $5.00 for the 2 nights. There are 5 max (6 with a child) bunks in each cabin and there are 10 cabins in total.

Please note that the cabins are part of the Scout camp and are therefore rustic. You will need your bedding, regular scout mattresses are provided. There is no electrical power. There is potable water, flushable toilets, and showers in the cabin circle.

Cabins are located an approximate 2 minute walk for a Pelican on a mission, or 5-7 minutes at a more leisurely pace, from the erics. You will be crossing a main road, with limited traffic.

Tournament Information

Heavy Tournament – Format: Hear the words of our Heavy Champion, Viscount Saif

It is time for champions to be determined! Here is the format for the Tir Righ Armoured Champion. This is a time of heroes and champions to be born.

We will process in. You will let us know about your inspiration. That thing, ideal, or person or people that will help you stay true to your oath as Champion of Tir Righ. They do not have to be present.

Time permitting every entrant will have to fight the current champion ( ME) in a speed round before fighting your challenges, because I love fighting so much.

The first round will be a challenge round and will be fought single sword on NON dominant hand in honour of our King and incoming Prince. At this point it will be fought as a Speed tourney with winners going to the right and non victors going to the left. With two losses you will be out of the tournament. If the numbers are too small for this to be enjoyable for all we may switch to a round robin format, but we are limited in time. The finals will be fought as follows, It is a best 2 in a row ( potentially More as you shall see). First round will be sword and shield. The winner of that first round will move to buckler and sword. If loser of the first round wins they will also move to a buckler. The first with 2 wins in a row wins.
