Currently Valentine will be fighting his Prize fight. (If you would also like to fight your prize fight during Fools War, please contact the Rapier Marshal to make your arrangements for this time.)

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm: Ditch Wars!      

What are Ditch Wars you ask? 2 evenly matched sides will start opposite each other to begin melees. Depending on how many fighters on each team, 1 to 2 fighters from the Winning team will go to the other side.       Next, Melee fighting will begin. Once a round is completed, the winning team will send 1 to 2 fighters to the losing team. This will continue until you’re tired or everyone is on the same team.

2:00 pm – 3:00 pm: Looting the Town.  

Is your desire for treasure strong enough, or is your opponent’s desire to protect their town the strongest? This is a melee with a twist. You and your team will attempt to get out of the city with the loot. Others will try to stop you. Don’t let them! It will take two people to carry the treasure chest and the others on your team have to defend them while clearing the way out of this town. Is your desire for treasure strong enough, or is your opponent’s desire to protect their town the strongest?

3:00 pm to whenever….: A Feather in my Hat!

Three-man team Warlord tourney. Three-man teams will take to an open field and fight other teams with the winners absorbing the losers, ending with two teams. The final winning team will see their colored feathers adorn the Commander’s hat!!

Also, please bring your spears if you are authorized to use them along with your RBGs. These are spear and RBG-friendly melees.

Volunteer marshals to help with the tournies are greatly appreciated!
