The format of the tournament will be as follows:
– Combatants will fight round robin in four pools.
– The top four from each pool will advance into a 16 combatant double elimination tournament.
– For fighters who reach the semi-final round, the format will be matched weapons, best 2 of 3 fights.
– The final two fighters will advance to a best 3 of 5 format, with weapons in the following order: Greatsword, Great Mace, Dane Axe, Choice by higher precedence combatant, Choice by lower precedence combatant.
The main round robin will be fought outdoors. Then there will be a break, and remainder of the tournament will be fought indoors, so there will be light and heat for the remainder of the tournament. If the weather conditions are prohibitive, the entire tournament will be fought indoors. Combatants are reminded to have indoor fighting shoes with them. Cleats are not allowed indoors.
