Format & Conventions
Fall Crown will be fought under armored/rattan rules and conventions.
Details on the tournament format are below. Please direct any questions to Donovan and Meghanta.
1) Round Robin: Probably four pools, subject to change based on number of entrants or other concerns. Bring your best, single pass, refight doubles until clean. If necessary, ties will be resolved first by comparing who beat who in the pool, with fight-offs as needed.
2) Sweet 16: Double elimination tree. Bring your best, single pass, refight doubles until clean.
3) Semi-finals: Winner’s list vs loser’s list. Winner needs one victory to advance to the finals, loser needs two. Bring your best.
4) Finals. These will be best 4 of 7. The first pass will be greatsword, subsequent passes will be rotating non-repeating weapon forms. The loser of the previous pass chooses the form for the next pass.
If the combatants reach a 3-3 tie, the combatants will each bring their best form for the final pass.
Note: If you are planning on choosing a particularly specific weapon form (Dane axe, 6′ spears, something that nobody has thought of) consider bringing a matched set to ensure that your opponent will be able to meet you.
