[MR] Armored Combat at Coronation, Sept. 6-8, 2002

[Arthur Donadio]

Here are the armored combat activities being offered at Coronation:

Four 20' by 20' lists will be open for three hours of round robin tourney 
fighting.  Fighters are encouraged to enter all four lists.  Each list will 
have its own MOL to keep things running smoothly and ensure that a fighter 
is not called to two lists at the same time.  The lists are:

List 1.  Best of ten counted blows with greatswords.  Two fighters will 
compete with greatswords to be the first to strike six blows.  Thrusting is 
permitted.  A fighter who leaves the list without being forced out by his 
opponent will forfeit the bout.  Each fighter will announce that he has been 
struck with a good blow, but there shall be no pause in the fighting for 
this purpose.

List 2.  Sword and Matched Bucklers.  Two fighters will combete with one 
handed swords and center-grip bucklers.  BUCKLERS WILL BE PROVIDED.
Thrusting is permitted.  Fighters are reminded to armor their shield arms as 
the bucklers will not protect the shield arm elbow.  A fighter who leaves 
the list without being forced out by his opponent will forfeit the bout.

List 3.  Boarspears.  Two fighters will compete with boarspears.  Boarspears 
(which are unpadded glaives sanctioned by the Crown for this event) will be 
provided.  Thrusting is permitted.  A fighter who leaves the list without 
being forced out by his opponent will forfeit the bout.

List 4.  Open list.  Fighters may compete with the weapons of their choice 
in this list, which will be conducted according to standard Atlantian rules.

The Tourney Champion will be chosen by Padraigin based upon number of lists 
entered, number of victories, courtesy in the lists, and field presence.  
The Crown will also recognize individual examples of prowess, courtesy, and 
field presence.  I will do my utmost to make sure that if come ready to 
engage fully in the combats I have designed, you will not be made to stand 
in the sun for no good reason and we will run these tourneys as efficiently 
as possible.  I thank you in advance for your support.

Cuan, Prince of the Atlantians
