Cardboard Tube Fighting League

The Seattle Cardboard Tube Fighting league hosted a tournament: Saturday in Philadelphia on the Art Museum steps (made famous in Rocky),and Sunday in McCarren Park, Brooklyn, New York. It was a free event, and the League provided the lightweight cardboard tubes. You want your tube to survive the duel while your opponents is destroyed. This is a pretty random process, as when tubes clash yours is as likely to break as the one you are striking. The real agenda is to have fun. I came home with a few scrapes but was otherwise unharmed.

Armor Cam: I made hole in my cardboard breast-plate so I could safely place the camera beneath my armor to capture the action. Unfortunately I had my camera set on the lo-res setting. Oops!

I'm calling it "Armor Cam" but "battle-camera" is a what it was. Sorry about the back-stabbing, Turtle, your armor sustained you. I chalk it up to the fog of war.

Even though you stabbed me in the back during the melee... you were still a valuable ally. Great "battle-camera" footage.
