<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Once again the Wars of Gothic are upon us. We
have been called by the Baron of Bonwicke to drive back the black horde led by
Captain Ruspoli, who has threatened his lands. I shall be organizing the
fields of battle for the rapier fighters who will surely wish to join in this
fight. Gothic Wars will be held on Labor Day weekend in Sweetwater,
Texas. There shall be two tournament competitions on Saturday, consisting
of a double elimination tournament and a challenge tournament. The
challenge tournament will be running throughout out the day, including during
the double elimination tournament. For those who feel they never get in
enough fighting, this is the War for you, for you shall have as many fights as
you can find opponents. The challenge tourney will be a point system,
which will be announced in detail at a later time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for Sunday, we shall hold a number of exciting
melees scenarios. There will be a Holy Grail tournament, in which teams
will be required to capture and defend the Grail. We may have a
tavern brawl, if sufficient props can be found. There will also be a
ressurection battle. There may be other scenarios, if there is sufficient
time and fighters. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Come one and all to make this a glorious event to
remember! Let us show the might of the rapier fighters of our
lands!</FONT></DIV>
