[MR] Stierbach Baronial Birthday (26 June) Marshaled Activities

[William de Mont d'Or]

Please find listed below a partial listing of the marshaled activities
that are scheduled for the 26 June Stierbach Baronial Birthday event.
We will be hosting heavy, rapier, archery, thrown weapons, and youth
combat (both kinds) for your pleasure.

Other event details can be found at

Rapier:

Tournament Prime: No, this isn't the name of a badly translated
Japanese robot. It is a tournament open to anyone who has never before
won a tournament by sole right of arms. This means that if you've been
on a winning team or  won a tournament where victory was influenced by
factors other than skill (i.e. victory was determined by something
other than how many people you defeated, etc.) , you are still
eligible to compete. If you're unsure, email me and ask if you can
compete. The format for this will either be a double-elim or a round
robin, depending on attendance. It will begin promptly at 10 a.m.. The
MOL will close the list for this at 9:55.

Champions' Tournament: Pennsic will soon be upon us, and while we've
been practicing melee and building our cardio, we should also remember
that there are other war points to win. This Champions' Tournament
will consist of 3-person teams, on which there may be no more than 1
white scarf or equivalent.* Prior to each match, the marshal will flip
a coin. The winning team gets to choose how the opposing team pairs up
with them. Each pairing will fight 3 bouts, with the survivor of each
bout earning 1 point for his or her team. Double kills earn 0 points
for either side. The team with the highest point value at the end of
the match is the victor (maximum 9, minimum 0). In the event a match
ends in a tie, a 3 v. 3 last-man-standing donnybrook will ensue to
determine the victor.

This will be run in 2 pools that will cut to a single-elimination top 4.

This tournament will begin promptly at noon, or immediately following
the first tournament, whichever is later. The MOL will close the list
for this tournament at 11:45. Have a watch. Please have one
representative bring all team members' cards to the MOL table to sign
in.

*A team may have two white scarves if they forfeit their 3rd member,
and consequently give every opposing team a 3 point lead.


Heavy:

The Nobel Beast of Stierbach:

Round 1:
The Beast has a heart (sword and shield fighter) and two arms (great
sword or polearm fighter) linked together.  Each fighter will face off
against and earn points depending on how well they do, and how long it
takes them to do it.

There will be five points awarded for each "arm" bested
Fifteen points for piercing the monster's "heart"
Thirty points for besting both arms and the heart
One point for every thirty seconds the fighter survives in the Beast's lair
Twenty point bonus if you best the Beast in under thirty seconds

Depending on the number of fighters, and The Beast's endurance, each
fighter could have two shots at the Beast.  This will be an excellent
opportunity for fighters to demonstrate their prowess.

If time, weather, and events permit we will then have pick ups.


There will also be archery, thrown weapons, youth rapier and heavy fighting.
