Here is the women's final from the 2012 Longpoint tournament.
Congratulations on making it to the finals Jessica! You looked great in that duel!

Nice match, Jessica Sorry we haven't met yet. Perhaps next MDRF outing (if the US survives til then). 

[Sir William]

Jess, that was well fought...its easy to see you'd kick my ass pretty handily if we ever dueled.  You two seemed pretty evenly matched.

[Sir James A]

Nicely done! Evenly matched indeed. The new scoring system seems to have worked well.

[Jessica Finley]

Thanks, everyone!    That was a pretty fun fight.  I like the rules that Longpoint were using - the idea being one clear and controlled hit can win the match.  It made for a very good place to be in my head, that is "All I have to do is hit her right and I can stop fighting". 

She had a lot of strength, but less training.  I had less strength and more training, and in that way we were well matched.

An excellent match in deed!

Indeed that is even more awesome.  Balance of training and strength is always needed when training or bouting. 

The only thing that bites is that I don't see many Fiore practitioners in events such as Longpoint or Swordfish.  That would make an excellent mixture in the bouts or Tournaments.

Yeah we were using the new Longpoint rules when scoring our duels yesterday @ MASHS free play session, which everyone has an open invitation to attend the last Sunday of each month.

Even though our group was generally novices at judging I really liked them. They made it more plausible and realistic for me as I was a bit more prudent against the more advanced opponents I dueled.
