Rose Tourney | Gwyl y Fflam

Ealdormere's Rose Tourney

Sunday

Procession Starts at Noon, Tourney to Follow

Each Rose and Lady of the Trillium is invited to sponsor a team.

This year each team will consist of two armoured combatants (one of whom may be Chivalry) one rapier combatant (who may be a MoD), and one archer.

It will be a double elimination tournament. In each round, the Rose who's team wins the majority of passes will win that round. Archery will be a single shot, head to head. Each fighting round will also be a single combat and a single fight.

If there is a tie the Roses will decide on the tie breaker.

The Rose Tournament is unique in that the Ladies sponsor the field, and it is a special opportunity to showcase many of the ideals of the society including honour, courtesy, and presence on the field. The wish is to encourage and endorse those fighters who aspire to the highest ideals of chivalry and courtesy on the field of honourable combat. This tournament is what the SCA is about, for us to provide a forum for great deeds of valour, courage and chivalry.

To that end entrants must meet the requirements listed below.

• Participants must be sponsored by a Lady of the Rose or Trillium

• An armoured combatant may not also be a fencing combatant or an archer (basically the team must be 4 different persons)

• Best attire for all combatants is encouraged, think Crown pretty.
