Shire of the Northern Outpost Fencing 2010 Championship (1 of 3)

The championship was held as a 30 minute bear pit, winner stays. Each fencer received one point for each bout, and one point for each kill. In the case of a double kill, each fencer received only one point, and both were to step out. Competitors were allowed to change their style of fence between bouts, including weapons and parries, excluding light rapier (foil and epée). In order of appearance are John (green), Cindy (white), Ger (jester), Nate (red), and Olaf (blue). All fought hard, well, and honorably. The victor was Ger, making him the 2010 shire champion. Followed by him were Nate, Olaf, John, and Cindy. Unfortunately, Cindy had a torn zipper, and was out of the ring for about half of an hour. I appreciate my friend who filmed this while I was fencing, and I apologize to you for the apparent trouble there was in our make shift camera rig, which is the cause for the shakiness and occasionally camera tilt. The video is still enjoyable to watch, however.

Fuck honor systems... use electric scoring seriously??

@Dimitri0809 It's a different game. Electric scoring doesn't work well when fencing in the round. Besides, the equipment costs more than most of us can afford. We're just out to have a good time, and learn a bit about historical combat. If we can't do it with honor and trust, where's the fun?

Well it is no fun with honor and trust that's my point..
