Tournament Rules For Shield of the Barony Championship

Round Robin to start. Fighters have to change fighting styles between matches. Meaning that if they fight sword and shield, they can’t fight sword and shield in their second fight, but can fight sword and shield in their third etc.

Depending on numbers of fighters there will be a top four fighters. These fighters will face each other in another round robin of the four. They will use the battle dice. Meaning they will need Sword and Shield, Dual Weapons, and a Great weapon. For each fight, each fighter will roll a die and will have to enter the fight with those weapons.

The final fight will be the two who end up as the winners of the second round robin of four. This will be a best three out of five with bucklers.

If we do not have enough fighters for the fatal four, we will go directly to the best of five. This will still be fought with weapon and buckler.

The format for the rapier championship:

Get ready for a night on the town!

The first round will be a tavern brawl. Single sword only. All fighters will gather in the center of the eric (around a table if space allows). Playing cards will be drawn one-by-one until a joker is drawn – we’ve got a cheater! When the cheater is revealed all bets are off. Do your best to be the last person standing in the ensuing melee. Points will be awarded for the last three standing (3, 2, or 1).

After the tavern brawl you’ll make your way home, only to be accosted by two muggers! Each fighter will face off against two others and be awarded points on how well they perform (A point for no wounds received, and a point for each mugger defeated).

Finally, you make it home from the tavern, only to find that word of your deeds has gotten around and now everyone wants to fight you. This will be a round-robin or Swiss-system depending on time and number of entrants. Bring your best, best of three, double kills will not be refought (It’s the art of defense, not the art of da-fencing!). Points will be awarded for the top three (3, 2, or 1). A tie here will be settled by another fight with the same rules.

The victor will be the person with the most points after all three rounds. In the event of a tie for first, the fighters will fight a best of five bring your best.
