[Cynnabar] tourney format

[Hannah Schreiber]

Greetings!


This was a great Tourney! Thank you, Sir Dirk, for a fun to watch and what looked to be fun to fight tourney. The winner of today's Tourney was Sir Gregoire who was a clear winner for holding the bridge for the longest length of time (over 35 seconds, which compared to the average of about 5 seconds to most others).

Thanks also to Sir Dirk, We were given a few other tokens to distribute and recognized these other winners today:
Hjorlief, for a great second place time of approximately 12 seconds.
Sir Ranthulfr for choosing one weapon...and sticking with it while defending or opposing on the bridge.

Malachy for pushing the other venans back on the bridge as he was trying to defend.

There was unfortunately not enough fencers to hold a tourney today. We'll have to double up next month, folks!

In addition -- a wonderful day was had at the park with much socializing, great music, and a fun potluck. Thank you to everyone for coming!

We look forward to seeing everyone for next month's tourney and Kill and Grill. Because of travel schedules and events, we'll be holding that on Sunday, July 1st.

At Their Excellency's pleasure, I propose those worthies who would test
their skill at arms in tomorrow shall do so in the manner of that vassal
of Harald Hardraada's who, standing on Stamford Bridge in the autumn of
1066, fought alone against the entire English army to protect his
liege-lord and kinsmen. Ye who would be champions: I say the true test
of a hero is how one greets one's death. Read of Beowulf, or Cormac, or
Gisli. 

Also, it's melee season.

Tomorrow's tournament shall therefore be a limited front engagement,
bear pit, four on one (cycling through venans as they rez). Victory
shall be determined by how long the tenan holds the bridge, timed from
the cry of "lay on!" until the tenan's eventual defeat. Venans, if they
so choose, may enter combat without competing for victory.
