Tourney Format
The tourney will be a standard double elimination tourney.
The first round will consist of a Challenge In round with the combatants split into two groups based on their standings in the Order of Precedence. Those combatants that are in the group with the lower Order of Precedence must challenge a combatant that is in the group that is higher in the Order of Precedence.
After the first round is completed, any necessary Bye fights will be destructive. If you are in the Winner’s List, losing your Bye fight will put you in the Loser’s List. If you are in the Loser’s List, losing your Bye fight will eliminate you from the Tourney. The Bye fights will be fought by that great friend of the East, Syr Beatrix from Aethelmearc.
The Tourney will proceed down until there are four combatants remaining in the Semi-Finals, two from the Winner’s List and two from the Loser’s List. The combatants will be matched up into two rounds with one combatant from both the Winner’s List and the Loser’s List fighting each other. The combatants entering the Semi-Finals from the Winner’s List will only need to win one fight against their opponent to advance to the Finals. The combatants entering the Semi-Finals from the Loser’s List will need to win two fights against their opponent to advance to the Finals.
The Finals for Crown Tourney will be a best of five series. The weapon selection for the five rounds is as follows:
- Round 1 Two weapon
- Round 2 Sword and Shield
- Round 3 Single Sword
- Round 4 Great Sword
- Round 5 Individual combatants’ choice (Bring your best)
