Bjornsborg Academy of Defense
February 27-29 2004
Whitewater Sports, Sattler TX

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.

Please send your Letters of Intent to fight in the tourney to the 
Baron and Baroness of Bjornsborg by February 20th.
