Rapier Tournaments
Dragon's Claw tourney - This is only for authorized fighters who have not yet won any sort of tournament. There may be a prize for the winner!
Open Field Tourney - This is the opportunity for other fighters to find someone to fight, find a field, and then fight!
This will be a on/off/on tourney. Meaning 30-45 minutes of fighting. Then a 15-20 minute break, and then back on for another 30-45 minutes of fighting. There might be a prize for this one too!
Master of Defense (MoD) Invitational. If there are enough MoD present, and they feel up to it, they will be asked to pick one (or two, or three) people each to fight in a single elimination tourney. No prizes, but definitely bragging rights.
