Rapier Combat At Northshield’s Spring Coronation
Here are the Rapier Doings for TRH Aelina and Skio’s Coronation 4/19/25
- The fencing field will be available at site open at 9am, and after morning court for pick-ups and authorizations.
- After Court, the King’s Prowess Tournament will commence. From TRH: “The winner of this tourney will be TRM champion for the duration of Their reign. This champion will be expected to stand in court, as well as assist in set-up and tear-down when present and able. While there are no requirements to attend specific events, including Pennsic, We would ask that this person make every effort possible to attend Our stepping down event this fall. There is also the expectation that this person will behave with honor and courtesy during our reign.”
- This is a magic points style tourney. All entrants are guaranteed 6 rounds of fighting. The format is as follows: combatants will be paired and fight a best 2 out of 3 round and earn points based on the results. Ten points available per round as follows:
A record of 2-0: 10 points
A record of 2-1: 7 points
A record of 1-1: 5 points(resulting from double kills)
A record of 1-2: 3 points
At the end of each round, entrant point totals will be calculated and the next pairings will be determined based on similar point totals. The winner of the tournament will be the individual with the most points at the end of 6 rounds.
- As time allows, after lunch there will be a Reverse Snowball* tournament.
- Subject to space limitations and marshal availability, an area will be available for pick ups throughout the day. The list will close 1 hour before court.
*Reverse Snowball: everyone is on the field, find an opponent and space, fight best 2 out of 3. Winner stays in, loser goes on the sidelines to WATCH the person that killed them. When that person dies, everyone they killed is back in the tournament. Tourney ends when only one person is left.
