****Coronet Tournament Details***

From Their Alpine Highnesses: Our heirs will be chosen in accordance with Corpora, Kingdom and Summits law as follows: Double elimination tournament, no limitations on weapon styles. Shields will be tournament appropriate, measures shoulder to shoulder, chin to crotch, or elbow to elbow. There will be a mandatory “Round Zero” warm up before the tournament. Bring your best! Residence limitations are in effect and exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Shire of Mountain Edge is considered to be in, regardless of how long they have been a part of The Summits. (If you’ve lived in Mountain Edge for the requisite period of time, this will be sufficient for Summits residency requirements). We request all entrants submit a letter of intent, post dated no later than two weeks (14 days) prior to the tournament. Please submit all letters to ourselves, and CC the Summits Seneschal.

UPDATE From his Highness Prince Njal: Royal Proclamation regarding The Summits Spring Coronet.

It has been decided, after much debate and consideration, that the limitation on shields being measured no more than shoulder to shoulder, chin to crotch, or elbow to elbow be waived.

I will leave the determination of what is or isn’t a tourney appropriate shield to the combatants and their honor.

Our goal is to have a large, diverse, strong list with the best fighters in the land competing to become our heirs.

Thank you,

Njal Tjorkilsson, Prince, Summits.

****Captain of Tigers Tournament Details**

As per the current champion Victor De Guers:

Captain of Tigers, Summits’ Cut & Thrust Championship (Saturday, March 16, 2019) format:

In order to promote attention to every fight, this tournament shall be heavily weighted towards the clean fighter.

Fighters shall line up by rank and process in.

Their Highnesses shall split the fighters into 2 lines.

Lowest order of precedence picks first.

Tournament shall start with a non-destructive challenge round.

Winners of the challenge round shall be paired against the losers and progress into a standard double elim.

Clean fighters shall fight fighters with a loss until that is no longer possible.

Likewise, clean fighters have priority in fighting the by-fighter; only once all the clean fighters have fought the by shall losing fighters get a by.

Victor de Guers, MoD

Captain of Tigers, Summits C&T Champion.
