Greetings Ansteorra,
 
Two years ago, Bjornsborg hosted the Academy of  Defense and chose 6 Provosts 
as the standout rapier fighters of the day.   On February 11, 2006, we shall 
again host the Academy of Defense as well as  the Guardian of the Gauntlet and 
the Guardian of the Glove.  Below is our  event announcement and you can go 
to _http://www.bjornsborg.org/aod.html_ (http://www.bjornsborg.org/aod.html)  , 
where you can see  the event announcement and a link to the event site, Nolte 
 Island.

Please join us for a day full of fighting and  fun.

Bjornsborg Academy of Defense 
and 
Guardian of the  Gauntlet  
February 10-12 2006

_Nolte Island Reservation_ (http://www.gbra.org/?datapage=nis.asp) ,  Seguin 
TX 
Site Open from 2:00 PM Friday to Noon  Sunday 


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, Germany, 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  several parts, so everyone will 
get more than enough fighting time. Armor  inspection will start at 8 am with 
Court at 10:00 and fighting immediately  after.  

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.  


Their Excellencies would  like to know who will vie for the honor of being a 
Provost of Bjornsborg, so  have your Letters of Introduction to enter the 
Academy to the _Baron and  Baroness_ (mailto:cternus at texas.net)  of Bjornsborg by 
February 6th.  

After the Academy  concludes, Don Pieter Rausch will host the Guardian of the 
Gauntlet  tournament. This year’s Guardian tournament will be fought entirely 
with heavy  blades, and will be a single elimination, best two out of three. 
The Guardian  of the Glove Tournament will run concurrently with the Guardian 
of the  Gauntlet. 

Artisans are invited to come and display their  finest creations.
