Come join the Barony of Bjornsborg as it hosts a tournament of the four 
leading schools of the Art of the Rapier. The Masters of England, France, Italy and 
Spain will test your weapons skill to determine your worthiness as a Provost 
in the Bjornsborg Academy of Defense. The tournament will have both adult and 
youth rapier. The tournament will have 5 parts, so everyone will get more than 
enough fighting time.  Armor inspection will start at 8 am with Field roll 
call starting at 9am.  Rounds are as follows:
" In field challenges, Masters of each country will set up pairs within their 
field.
" During the Field vs. Field challenges, Masters will set up matches between 
their country and another. (Gulf War champion tourney style)
" Masters Challenge
" Training Scenarios are fun little ways of testing your ability of handling 
a rapier.
" The Grand Melee will pit the newly chosen Provosts against the rest of the 
field.

Baron and Baroness of Bjornsborg by February 20th.
