[Ponte Alto] Sapphire Joust Fighting

[guylestran at aol.com]

For those who are curious:

If I can make it I think I will spend Sat on the Rapier Fields.

Heavy:

This year we will offer two full days of fighting, featuring Tourneys 
to test the skill, and Battles to challenge the heart of all Atlantian 
Fighters. The theme for the weekend will be Heraldic Display, so bring 
out your finest surcoats and banners to add to
the splendor of the day.

Saturday:
9am – Mol Table opens/Authorizations
Noon- Sapphire Joust Tournament
2pm/Following Tourney- Capture the Flag Ressurection Battle (Woods) 45 
min.
approx.

Sunday:
9am – Mol Table opens/Authorizations
10am -  (field) Novice Tourney (2 years or less)
11:30 - (field) Order of the Kraken Off-weapons Tourney: The Order will 
meet all comers with either Greatsword, Polearm, Two Sword or Spear.
12:45 - Company of St. Aiden Heraldry Team Mellee (Woods)

Rapier:

Saturday will hold the traditional Sapphire Tournament, with the Ruby 
Prize awarded to the victor and the Sapphire prize awarded to the 
fencer voted most chivalrous by his or her peers. This tournament will 
have four round-robin pods with the top two from each pod moving on to 
a single elimination. Fighting will begin following morning courts.
Authorizations will take place between 10-11 a.m., and then as time
allows.

Sunday will be a day of melee training for Pennsic with training 
scenarios devised by the rapier warlord. A resurrection battle in the 
woods seems highly likely, among other things. Start building your 
endurance now.
