The Earl Marshal of Armored Combat has released this letter explaining the format:
Hello all,
For anyone interested, and especially for the 16 of you out there who are competing in the Final 16 for Crown Tourney in two days, here is the format for the day.
- The tournament will be fought in a double elimination format. Any double kills that happen will be refought.
- Each pairing in the tournament, up to and including, the quarterfinals will be fought as best 2 out of 3 bouts with the individual fighters choosing their preferred weapons form for each bout. The individual fighters may repeat the same weapons form for each of these bouts and there is no requirement that they match.
- The semi-finals will also be fought best 2 out of 3 bouts. Previous losses are forgiven for those fighters advancing through the loser’s list.
- The semi-final bouts will be fought using matched weapons forms with alternating choices of weapons form. The fighter advancing from the winner’s list will get choice of form for the first bout. The fighter advancing from the loser’s list will get choice of form for the second bout. If a third bout is necessary, the fighter advancing from the winner’s list will get the choice of form.
- The semi-final bouts may repeat weapons forms.
- The finals will be fought as best 3 out of 5 bouts. They will be fought with matched, non-repeating weapons forms with the exception being if a fifth and final bout is needed. The first four bouts will alternate choice of form with the fighter that is higher in the Order of Precedence getting choice for the first bout. If a fifth and final bout is necessary, each fighter may bring their best with no requirement that the forms match.
In service,
Sir Cedric of Armorica
Kingdom Marshal for Armored Combat.
