Round Robin Tournament (5 combatants)
Winner: Robert of Anglespur (Prize: brass arm ring)
Other Awards given: Edwen of Anglespur (Prize: goufee buckler for goofiest parry)
The long and noble tradition for Anglespur’s “Goufee” continues! Tournament format to be determined by turnout, default Round Robin. All fighters shall fight with a rigid or non-rigid parry constructed as per the East Kingdom Rapier Rules (rigid parries may not have any rough or sharp edges and may not entrap opponents or their equipment, non-rigid parries may not be weighted with rigid materials). During the tournament, a vote shall be held among all the participants and spectators to determine who has the best parry item. There shall be two winners of the tournament – whomever wins the tournament by martial prowess, and whomever is voted to have the best parry item. Although no parry item shall be disallowed because it is deemed to be too serious, all participants are encouraged to be as creative as the rules allow (which is, admittedly, pretty creative). Period appearance is not a factor in this tournament – let your imagination run wild. Tokens may be awarded to other goofy parry items at the judge’s and/or spectators’ discretion.
