(Prize)Tournament of Love and Beauty
Perhaps it is merely a longing for the return of Spring, but this time of year, our thoughts turn to matters of the Heart and Beauty. We dream about those who inspire us, and look for ways to do them honor.
Be glad, for you have a way to prove your love and the grace and beauty of your Inspiration! Join us at the Masque of Courtly Love for the Tournament of Love and Beauty!
The Tourney will begin with a Boast, with the Combatants being encouraged (but not required) to deliver a Boast to all present describing the Qualities of their Inspiration which makes Them worthy of the title of Paragon of Love and Beauty. Be as humble or as bombastic as you wish. You can even hire a Herald to make your Boast for you (think A Knight's Tale)! The populace will be able to choose which combatant made the best Boast, and the winner will receive a prize!
The Tourney itself will be a double elimination Crown Tourney style combat, with the Finals being fought at the Barrier to three counted blows received. These bouts will be fought with weapons agreed upon by both combatants. If they cannot agree on weapons then it will default to single sword. No blows will be acted out. Instead, the combatants will each call out good blows received, which will be counted by a neutral person assigned to that combatant. The first combatant to win three passes at the barrier wins the Tourney, and has the right to crown the Paragon of Love and Beauty, who will receive a circlet of office and will be styled as “Their Loveliness” for the remainder of the day.
The populace will also be able to vote on the combatant who showed the greatest Chivalry and the combatant who showed the greatest Courage, both of whom will also receive a prize.
2:00pm - 3:00pm
