From Bill:
Hello everyone,
Sorry for the delay, but we finally have registration open! We were planning on setting up a simple PayPal link, but due to some hiccups, we're going to do what we did for our previous HEMA Open. The registration is through the AskFred website, which is a third party site designed for sport fencing tournaments. When you register, it automatically says that this is a "foil" tournament, but rest assured, this is definitely a HEMA event!
The link is here:
http://askfred.net/Events/Prereg/pre...ament_id=22260 (http://askfred.net/Events/Prereg/pre...ament_id=22260)
We've also extended the pregestration deadline to May 1. So sign up and come fight!
Also, don't forget to check out the list of rules and equipment requirements on our website:

I'm just signed up. Event is May 4th (Star Wars day).

It says 'arming sword' but it looks like the setup is for longswording? Is it one or both?
-
AFAIK for all intent and purposes they are referring to Messer blades and heavy cavalry sabres. :-\
-
By "arming sword", they mean single-handed swords. Messer techniques are right in there. I expect a smaller turn-out for this one since people don't practice this as much around here, I think.
The trainers used will probably be plastic arming swords, along these lines:

Oh, that's cool- my favorite style of swordplay, that. I don't know that I can make that...but I will try.
-
Ah, I would LOVE to do this, but there's a mandatory rehearsal for the school show I'm in on that day :'(
-
Sadly I live in Wisconsin and could not make it to this event.

The competition tomorrow got canceled since they didn't get enough registrations.

oh that stinks

I was afraid that was going to be the case. I only hope it doesn't discourage them from continuing to try. I would've registered if I didn't have to work. :-\

You can come help me tailor mail. I've got 3 hauberks to tailor in 36 hours, plus a bunch of other tweaks with plate. I can not adequately convey the joy I am filled with in mere words. :D

lol, good luck with that. :) I'm going to be spending a fair amount of time today just locating the things I need for tomorrow.
