There will be Armoured (Heavy) tournaments run both days at Midwinter Coronation this year. Local fencers have advised me that almost no one is attending the event with the intention of fighting rapier, hence there will not be a rapier tournament. If you feel this decision is ill-advised, please contact Theodulf immediately: MidwinterStewards@gmail.com
Saturday: Swiss Seed Tournament
Lists and Inspections open at 12:30 (during lunch). Tournament runs from 1:00 to 2:00 with pickups afterwards.
Sunday: Rose Tournament
There will be a winner by prowess in the Rose Tournament this year in addition to the champions chosen by the Ladies of the Rose. This means defeated fighters must tell Lists who defeated them before distributing roses. The rationale behind this decision is as follows: Rose tournaments are all for the sake of chivalry, but it is easy to be chivalrous when there is nothing at stake – perhaps sportsmanship is a more apt word to use here. If the tournament is non-competitive, sportsmanship is meaningless, thus there must be a winner by prowess.
Lists and Inspections open at 12:30 (during lunch).
Tournament runs from 1:00 to 4:00 (plenty of fighting for everyone).
Fighters may enter the tournament after the start time but must still be inspected and see lists – because of the format this doesn’t affect the outcome.
