<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Guardian Insegnante (meaning "Teacher" in
Italian) Tourney is scheduled for Sunday at 10 am. (We ARE pretty good
about keeping to the schedule)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The victor is selected by election of fighters,
Insegnantes, and the List Mistresses. Once an Insegnante, Always an Insegnante;
However, past Rapier Champions ARE eligible to play for the newer title. We
recommend the use of Heavy Rapier blades for the greater entertainment of the
gallery.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The inestimable (and now Don) Stephen Hawkins, as
our current champion, is running this as a challenge tourney,
thusly:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For the first round, fighters line up by order of
precedence. Starting with the lowest, each may challenge one person higher up
the line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For subsequent rounds, fighters line up by
record; those with the most losses select their opponent first. The
tourney will go five rounds like this with some extra *challenges* thrown in for
good measure ( a la "Bonus points if you poke him in the eye while hopping
on one foot and patting your tummy" )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our tourney is a famous exhibition of Skill,
Courtesy, and Gallantry. Join us, and maybe we can make a don out of you
too!</FONT></DIV>
