[Prince of Vindheim]

The following formats will be used, depending upon who emerges victorious
at the end of the day.  Posted in order signed up.

Sir Eadwulf and Mistress Kyna

Mistress Kyna she is most interested in what those who vie to be her
champion see as their worst style. So single elim, 2 of 3 fights, bring
your worst.

Sir EadWulf believes his decision will be based upon the number of
entrants. More than 6 triggers a speed tournament of the Atlantian style.
Less than 6 a round robin bring your best

Bahadur Uriangqadai Cinoajin, and Mistress Adrianna Lorelle

Bahadur Uriagnqadai wants the chivalric tournament to determine our
champion will be in a 10 foot square. The weapons style will be single
sword, best 2 out of 3 and 3 counted blows

Mistress Adria will have a round Robin tournament and the finals will be
best 2 out of 3 and changing weapon styles with each round.

HE Aldric de Kerr and HE Meadhbh ingheanRois

HE Aldric and HE Meadhbh would both like to hold a swiss five, non
repeating weapons format with a potential "theme" to be announced that day.

Sir Vicenti de Murano and Duchess Margherita

Sir Vicenti will run will be a Diamond style tourney and all residents of
Vindheim will be invited to compete. Tourney will be for 20 or 30 min,
depending on the number of fighters. Those that do not want to compete will
be able to drop out. The top 4 or 8 of the remaining will go into a single
elimination Tourney.

Her Grace Margherita will be running a Swiss 5 Tourney with the top 4
advancing to a single elimination tourney.
Count Daffyd and Countess Octavia

Count Daffyd will hold a 30 min bearpit with polearms to be the weapons.

Countess Octavia will hold a tournament best 2 out of 3 fighters choice.

Centurion Michall "Micauley" Morison and Mistress Caterina Giovanni

Centurion Michall will hold a Bear-pit style tournament, wounds retaining,
with three rounds: Single-sword, two-weapon, and sword and shield.  He also
wants to heavily encourage the participation of our fighters that are
members of the Chivalry, and intend to preserve Their Sanguine Highnesses
practice of having a champion for prowess as well as a champion based on
their conduct in the tournament so that they might be a source of wisdom
when needed.

Mistress Caterina will conduct a Swiss five style tournament for her
princess’s champion.

Maestro Orlando Giovanni and HL Darian de Shameless

Maestro Orlando’s tournament will proceed thusly:

All errants assemble.

Round 1 the current champion challenges one of the entrants (champions
choice of weapon)

Round 2 the challenged entrant challenge’s another entrant (challengers
choice of weapon)

Round 3-? Same as round 2. No entrant can be challenged twice . All
entrants must watch all fights.

Once all entrants have fought, they will each be polled (secretly) for the
name of another entrant who they believe showed the finest combination of
prowess and chivalry on the field. The current champion is ineligible, and
an entrant May not select themselves.

Using the results of the polling and our best judgement we would select the
next champion. The polling would NOT be published.

Modifications would need to be made in the event the turnout is too large
or too small but with a similar polling concept.

HL Darian will run a modified Swiss five.

Round 1 Is single sword

Round 2 is sword and dagger

Round 3 is cloak and dagger

Round 4 is spear & shield

Round 5 is bring your best.

All Rounds would be best two out of three. Double kills are refought until
someone wins. Should there not be a clear winner after the five rounds, the
fighters that where tied would move on to a bring your best counted blows
to five hits best two out of three.

In Round 4 if a fighter is not Authorized to fight spear they would instead
fight case.

Centurion Skeggi berbeinn Sebbason ins sterka and Lady Emmelina de Medelande

We have an exciting plan for our Armored Champions Tourney, should we win,
would be as follows:

First Round - Two Handed Weapon - Bear Pit

Top four advance to final round

Final round - Bracketed Bastard Sword tournament to the end

For our Rapier Tournament

First Round - Swiss five  - Single Rapier, Rapier & Buckle, Case,
Florentine, Rapier Spear

Depending on number of entrants, top four advance to final round

Final round - Dagger and cape tournament to the end

Sir Kyrus and Mistress Kajira

If we are victorious, we will host a rapier bear pit with sword and dagger
or single sword with no shields and choose from the combatants, and we will
host a chivalric bear pit, no hammers, no Choppas, no shields. During both,
the combatants will have 10 seconds, or both have a loss and be removed.
The bear pits will run one after the other and be 20 minutes each.

Sir Geoffrey de Gournay and Mistress Adalia VondemBerg

Chivalric is 20 minute bear pit with hand-and-a-half weapons or bigger.

Rapier is a Round Robin (matched weapons) with a twist. If your combatant
is higher ranked than you in Rapier Combat ( Talon for Rapier, BOM, Don, or
MOD), your win is worth two points - else its worth one. Most points wins.
If tiebreaker needed, best two of three my choice of weapon style.

Centurion Alexandre Crane and HL Yzabeau Brossier

As requested, should I take the day, my intent will be for the title of
Prince's Champion to not only be earned by martial prowess and command
ability, but by the support of each combatant's fellows-in-arms; three
qualities I would seek for my champion.

As such, each person wishing to compete to serve as my Prince's Champion
will be placed on a tournament style bracket, built at random, then be
released to recruit a squad of combatants who would lend them both their
emotional and martial support to see them chosen as the next Prince's
Champion of Vindheim in best-of-three, single elimination rounds.

The size limit, if any, of each team for the rounds will be decided based
on the number of available combatants, with no size limit for the final
round.

At the end of each step of the bracket, those who were eliminated, as well
as their teams, will be released and free to select a new person from the
remaining combatants to give their support to until only two combatants and
their melee teams remain.

Yzbaeau has stated that the Rapier Championship she would like to see will
also be primarily melees based to illustrate both their personal skill at
arms, as well as their leadership ability.

The tournament will be blind drawn pairings and double elimination. Each
combatant will be allotted five points to build a team, assigned by awarded
rank in Rapier combat, which the entrant themselves does not count toward:

Masters of Defense - 4 Points

Blade of Merit - 3 Points

Sable Talon - 2 Points

All other fighters - 1 Point

Should a large number of entrants come forward, a choice will be presented
to the combatants to either proceed and fight on multiple teams to support
their fellow Vindhomies or to shift to an alternate tournament style, as
follows:

Randomized Draw, Single Elimination, standard pairings format. Combatants
are free to choose their arms but may not repeat fighting styles until all
have been used out of the following choices:

Single Rapier, Two Weapon, Weapon and Cloak, Weapon and Rigid Parry, and
Single Dagger.

Finals will be bring your best weapon style.
