Greeting to you Rapier fighters Lady's and Lords a like.
 
I would like to announce the format for the Kingdom Rapier Champion 
Tournament at Coronation.  I have received approval from their Royal Highness Sir 
Morgan d'Antioche and Lady Esabell Grant, so here goes.  First round shall be 
fought the standard four pod style with all fighters being divided randomly into 
the four pods. The style chosen for the first round pods shall return back to 
the old tradition of single swords no longer then 35” of blade length. Two 
Fighters will advance from each pod to the second round.
 
Second round will be fought five Weapon styles single elimination with sweet 
and lovely Princess Esabell Grant choosing the order of the five weapons 
styles.  (Single Sword, Sword and Dagger, Sword and Cloak, Sword and Buckler, and 
Case) 
Rules:
DEAD IS DEAD! In the case of a double kill you are both eliminated from that 
style.
Exception to this rule is in the final of each style. There must be a winner 
of each Style.
In the end there can be only ONE!  After all styles have been completed and 
if there is a tie between two fighters them they will have a single pass round 
to determine a Winner.
Style to be chosen by Princess Esabell Grant

thank you.
If you have any questions? I will be available.
