Capitol Arming Sword Open Tournament

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

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:
http://www.vafinc.com/hemac_sword.php

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  :'(

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
