[MR] Masters of Defense Tourney Results

[Kynnyth Pyke]

All,

After a grueling 4 hour round robin pool consisting of
all of the heavy and rapier forms, four fighters
emerged to the semi-finals to compete to become the
victor of the first Masters of Defense Tournament.

The semi finals would be fought as a best-of-ten
format, with 5 bouts of rapier, and then 5 bouts of
heavy, using each of the forms available.  (i.e. One
bout each of rapier, rapier & dagger, rapier & cloak,
rapier & buckler, case of rapier, sword & shield, two
sword, pole arm, spear and great sword.  First fighter
to six wins advanced).

Duke Cuan met Lochmere's own Lord Griffin Warwick with
the first semi-final list.  After the 5 bouts of
rapier fighting had been completed, His Grace had a
slim 3-2 lead over Griffin.  However His Grace swept
the first 3 bouts of the heavy list to advance to the
finals with a record of 6-2.

Sir Colin and Master Roland (OWS) met on the second
semi-finals list field.  Master Roland led coming out
of the rapier round 4-1.  Master Roland proved to be
worthy of finals by taking two of three bouts in the
heavy list for a 6-2 record.

The finals would start with heavy fighting first, and
then move to the rapier round.  Cuan came out
swinging, literally, and the heavy round was completed
with Cuan having a 4-1 lead.  Cuan took the single
rapier bout that opened up the final rapier round of
fighting, but Roland took the rapier and dagger round,
leaving the score 5-2.  Cuan finally secured victory
by defeating Roland in Rapier and Cloak, for a 6-2
record in the finals.

Among fighters who did not cross over, Lord Connor
(OWS) was the rapier list victor, and Sir Corbet was
the armored list victor.  When charged with presenting
the chivalry award to the fighter of his choice, Duke
Cuan selected Master Roland.

Thank you to all the fighters who came out to
participate, and test those fighters who chose to show
their skill on both lists.
