Crown Tournament Format

This is a copy of the Crown Tournament Format from Count Wilhelm, Kingdom Marshal of Armored Combat.

Unto the amazing populace of the East Kingdom do I, your friendly neighborhood Wilhelm, send greetings!

The following is the format for the upcoming crown tourney of Mohammad and Corotica.

  • To start, there will be four Round Robin buckets with the best four from each list advancing to the Sweet Sixteen.
  • The Sweet Sixteen will be broken down to two groups of eight for another Round Robin!
  • The two with the best records from each group will advance to the final four.
  • The final four will process into the list and be presented to their Majesties
  • From there, the final four will then have a four person Round Robin with the top two advancing to the finals.
  • All ties at the end of the round robins will fight a single fight with the winner advancing
  • The Finals will be best out of seven, matched weapon forms (the weapons themselves need not match) no previous wounds retained.
  • Round 1: Spear.
  • Round 2: Loser from round one picks the next weapon form and so on.
  • No individual combatant may pick the same form twice, however the same form may be chosen by both combatants.
  • If we reach round seven, it will be bring your best form

I am going to repeat this until you hear it in your sleep. Check your armor and weapons prior to leaving for the event. Make sure your armor is in good repair and your weapons all meet parameters as everything will be inspected thoroughly. Bring tools for repairs that may happen while there as that is the worst way to be knocked out of a tourney.

Fight hard, fight honorably, and do honor unto to the one who inspires you that day.

In Service,

Wilhelm

En Francais

Au merveilleux Peuple du Royaume de l’Est, moi, votre dévoué serviteur Wilhelm, vous salue !

Ce qui suit est le format que prendra le prochain tournoi de la Couronne de Leurs Altesses Royales, Mohammad et Corotica.

  • Pour débuter, il y aura 4 groupes de tournois à la ronde ou les quatre meilleurs de chaque lice se qualifieront pour la ronde suivante.
  • Les seize finalistes seront séparées en deux groupes de huit pour un second tournoi à la ronde.
  • Les deux meilleurs des deux groupes passeront à la finale des quatre.
  • Les quatre finalistes défileront dans la lice pour être présentés à Leurs Majestés.
  • Les quatre finalistes procéderont à un tournoi à la ronde ou les deux meilleurs se retrouveront en finale.
  • Toute égalité à la fin du tournoi à la ronde sera résolue par un combat singulier.
  • La finale sera un quatre de sept ou les armes seront prédéterminées.
  • Premier combat; La Lance.
  • Second combat et suivant; le perdant du premier combat choisit l’arme du prochain combat et ainsi de suite.
  • Un combattant ne peut choisir deux fois la même forme. Cependant, la même forme peut être choisie par chacun des combattants.
  • Si nous devons en arriver à un ultime septième combat, les combattants pourront choisir leurs armes de prédilection.

Je ne répéterai jamais assez souvent : vérifiez votre armure et vos armes avant de quitter pour l’événement. Assurez-vous que votre armure est en bon état et que vos armes répondent toutes aux paramètres, car tout sera inspecté à fond. Apportez des outils pour les réparations qui peuvent survenir pendant le tournoi, car c’est la pire des façons d’être éliminé d’un tournoi.

Combattez férocement, combattez loyalement et honorez celui ou celle qui vous inspirera tout au long du tournoi.

Au Service,

Wilhelm
