>Please join me in celebrating the onset of Ansteorran Tourney Season with a 
>Chivalric Tiny Tourney.

>On the feast day of Saint Guy d’Anderlecht, being the twelfth day of 
>September, for the entertainment of the Baron and populace of Bryn Gwlad, I 
>will hold a tournée à plaisance at the usual Populace in the Park locale. 
>The list will be fought with weapons of the contenders’ choice in a 
>single-bout double-elimination format (if the list is too large, I will 
>switch to single elimination). The competition is open to all currently 
>authorized chivalric combatants.

>As I know all entrants will be on their best behavior, at His Excellency’s

>    * first entry into a tournament
>    * the most breathtaking death
>    * the most inspired dedication
>    * overall champion

>What? You say you’re authorized but that you’ve never fought in an SCA 
>tournament and are unfamiliar with the elimination format? The single-bout 
>double-elimination format means that in the first round, entrants will be 
>paired off for a single round, losses in which will be tallied to determine 
>the pairings for a second round. At the end of the second round, any 
>combatant who has suffered two losses will be eliminated from the 
>competition, and pairings will be drawn again. If at any time the pairings 
>result in an odd number of combatants, one fighter will fight a by-round 
>against me (losses in the by-round will not count against the tournament 
>results). This process will continue until only one combatant remains with 
>less than two losses.

>Please, feel free to contact me at sirlyonel at hotmail.com if you have any
