The Barony of Stierbach invites you to test your skills on the rapier lyst with a variety of tournaments and melee.
Tournament to choose the Stierbach Baronial Rapier Champion
Stierbach Baronial Birthday Rapier Schedule
9:00 until court – Authorizations and inspections
Court
Immediately after court (appox 11:00) – Never won a tourney tournament
This will be a single elimination Atlantian speed tournament. This is open to any authorized fighter who has never won a rapier tournament before. The winner will receive a small prize, but can never participate in this tourney again.
11:45 – Timed capture the flag melee
Combatants will be split into 2 teams. Each side will be fighting for control of flags in various positions on the field. This will be an unlimited res battle with secret time checks occurring at pre-determined intervals. Each team will be awarded a point if they control a flag at each time check. At the end of the battle, the team with the most points wins!
12:45 – Lunch Break
1:15 – Valhalla melee
This is an every person for themselves melee with a twist. Each fighter should pay close attention to who killed them when they die. When you are killed, you are out and must step off the field. However, as soon as the person who killed you dies, you are back in! That means in order to actually win, you must personally kill every other combatant on the field! You can make or break alliances as you choose, but in the end it is everyone for themselves. This will continue until we have a winner, or until the allotted time runs out. If there is a winner, they will receive a small prize. We may run this multiple times depending on how quickly things go.
2:30 – Protect the Queen (or King) melee
For this scenario we will once again split into two teams. Each team will designate a single person as their “queen”. This person will be made known to both teams. Each team will have unlimited res for as long as their designated monarch is alive. Once their monarch is killed, they may no longer res. The scenario ends when everyone on one team is dead. We may run this multiple times depending on timing.
3:30 (or when people are tired of melee) – Pickups
The field will remain open for pickups until 15 minutes prior to evening court.
