Competitions

Heavy Combat

The plan for the Heavy tournament is a Valhalla.
Two 20 min bouts with a 10 min (max) break in between. Then possibly a best two out of three final.

The jyst of the Valhalla is that a random initial fight order is picked. The winner of the first bout holds the field and the looser goes into the holding pen (Valhalla). The remaining fighters then engage the first fighter until either he wins all fights (bought over) or he looses. If he looses all fighters who entered Valhalla are released back to the fighting line and the looser enters Valhalla. This continues until there is a winner or 20 min expires.

If the time expires the fighter with the most individual victories wins the bout.

The second bout is fought same as the first.

In the event that the two bouts are won by different fighters the final will be a best two of three after a 5-10 min break.

Rapier Combat

A bear pit tourney of approx. 40 min with a 5 min break - keeping wounds, double kills destructive with no score, plus a twist.

The twist is that there is a pool of secondaries (cane, dagger, cloak, etc) that people can pick from as they near the front of the line. After the fight, the fighters switch secondaries and the winner holds the field with his/her new off-hand secondary.

The two fighters with the most kills at time end will fight best 2 of 3 for the win.

So, if fighter A holds the pit and has a dagger, while fighter B challenges with a cane, and fighter A wins: Fighter A now holds the field with a cane, and fighter B leaves the field and puts the dagger back into the pool. The front-of-line fighter C now picks a secondary from the pool and challenges fighter A. And so on.

If we have enough people, we may run more than one pit concurrently.

Archery

Archery will be run as a major event. It will include combat archery* as well as target. Everyone will shoot combat arrows (no armour required)
*subject to change

Added bonuses!

Arts and Sciences

Instead of the traditional 'On Site Favour', we are doing an 'On Site FLAVOUR'. Create a dish by using the local ON SITE flora and fauna.

I have created a list of edible plants found at Camp Barnard for you to help. Yes, some plants are not period, but create the dish in a period manner. If your recipe calls for a protein, please DO NOT hunt the local WILDLIFE!!!! Substitutions for proteins are acceptable!!! Chicken can be bunnies!! Please, also respect the site and do NOT destroy the forest and land. Take only what you need, which should be very small. All plants are safe to consume and are pesticide/herbicide free.

If you are interested in creating the ON SITE FLAVOUR, please contact Lady Alezzandra and she will give you the list of plants to choose from. It gives you time to think about what you wish to create.

Thank you, have fun, create and learn something new, above all, RESPECT our land!!!!
