[Bryn-gwlad] Chivalric Tiny Tourney--July 17

Tue Jul 10 10:49:48 PDT 2007

My biggest weakness, when I moved to Ciad, was not being used to fighting in
close quarters.

I had to adapt my fighting style for very small list fields, which on more
than one occasion had a tree in the middle!  I think this made me  far
better on my lateral movement.  

My only complaint will be 30 second limit to each fight at the bear pit.
While I understand the preference of moving the line quickly, the endurance
gained by allowing fights to take how long they take is very helpful in a
practice

Actually thinking about this it might be fun for a tourney format that
forced folks like me to fight a long range :-) Perhaps fighting over a small
gap?

The model of let those that are fighting decide seems most enjoyable for
all. That being said tourney format trumps it. In a bear pit where the
tourney format says you die if you step out, then the fighters have their
marching orders. I find small bear pits quite different then barriers and
they certainly allow movement, just at closer quarters then some are used
to. Very sorry that I will be missing the Tiny Tourney!

I missed this Lysts (partially because I expected it not to be terribly

fun, fighting wise), but the Lysts before I remember folks standing

around the Barrier telling 1h weapon folks they had to put a hand on it

or put their hips against it... Not the marshal, but several strong

Kibitzers.

I prefer to fight great sword at the barrier, but I don't find it any

fun If I can move my feet at least a little in all 4 directions, even a

half step.

That said I'm not trying to argue with folks, just express why I decided

to

Pass on the tiny tourney... 

Shrug,

Salut cozyns,

I don't recall ever hearing a stated requirement to have one hand on the

barrier or to be in contact with it. Typically, rules for fights at the 

barrier are whatever the combatants decide. At the last Lysts at

Castleton, 

I chose to fight single sword with one hand on the barrier, but that was

because my left arm is screwed up (normally, I prefer bastard sword at

the 

barrier). No one after I lost the barrier was *required* to fight that

way. 

In fact, Alexis and the viscount from Gleann Abhann fought at the

barrier 

with short spears.

In general, is this holding onto the barrier a requirement in the rules

or a convention that seems to be in use today...put in place by

whomever

is running the list?

We also have indestructible shields and no lower leg targeting, I am

not

a fan of holding onto the barrier, but being close to or in contact

with

the barrier with at least 1 part of the body is my prefered method.

As to barriers themselves, there's more historical

precident to _not_ holding on to the barrier. All of

the images in my head of barrier fights used two

handed weapons, so you couldn't really hold on.

Single sword at the barrier can be fun too, but from

what I can tell it was invented in the SCA.

Gaston de Clermont

The convention I've seen used most for barrier fights nowadays require

the fighter to be 'in contact' with the barrier, but not with a hand.

The combatant is required to keep his/her front leg in contact with the

barrier.
