The Gift Of Knowledge

Please email Trino_Masq2010@yahoo.com to let us know what you are available to teach in one hour increments.

Masquerade Pas D’Armes

In keeping with the theme of the day, participants are asked to consider the appearance of their kit, and are asked to bear some representation of their personal heraldry and/or colours upon the field at all times.

We are asking that all participants provide a copy of their personal device on a regular-sized 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper, with the short edges at the bottom and top (also known as “portrait” orientation).

Also, as there is some preparation work involved in this tournament, we ask that you contact Wulfgang at (cadman882001@yahoo.com) by Huntsman’s Harvest if you intend to join us.

10:00 AM – Site opens, inspections and authorizations to take place in the morning.

12:30 PM – Processional of Combatants and Consorts in the gym before Their Majesties (or Highnesses, or the highest ranking couple in attendance according to Order of Precedence). Consorts to be escorted to the Gallery.

1:30 PM – Tournament begins. Tournament will be a SINGLE elimination, with weapon styles and shield sizes appropriate for such endeavors.

Gallery attendants will be available to meet the needs of the Consorts.
