Rapier
West An Tir War 2008 Rapier Scenarios
The Rapier activities will include tourneys, several melees, and for those
interested in teaching and learning, we will make time. If you wish to
teach, please contact me so we can schedule it. Death From Behind will be
allowed in all the melee scenarios. Each day's tourney will start at 11 AM, a
break for lunch, the first melee around 1 PM, and the second melee
around 3 PM.
Thursday 03 July
Armor Inspections: After Noon.
Pick ups: Near the melee field. Make sure there is a marshal present!
1. In the afternoon there will be an Early Bird Rapier Tourney. This tourney
will be double elimination.
Friday 04 July
Armor Inspections: 10 AM
Pick ups: Near the melee field. Make sure there is a marshal present!
1. Two Man Tourney. This is a Round Robin tourney. Pair up with someone
and kill all who enter in the lists. The team with the best win-loss ratio
wins!
2. Escort the Prisoner. Rubber Band Guns are allowed. One person from
the opposing team will be designated "Prisoner", this person shall not be
armed and can not be killed. For the Guard sired to win, the prisoner must
be safely escorted from "Point A" to "Point B". At least one person needs
to guard the prisoner. Those guarding need to stay within arms reach or
the prisoner might wander off (NO RUNNING!). For the "Rescuer" side to
win they need to free the prisoner and get them to their starting point.
3. Siege! This is a timed resurrection battle. No Rubber Band Guns in this
scenario. Hay bales will be set up into a fort. This will be fought best two
out of three.
Saturday 05 July
Armor Inspections: 10 AM
Pick ups: Near the melee field. Make sure there is a marshal present!
1. Old and New Tourney. In this Double Elimination tourney fighters who
have fought less than two years will be partnered up with those who have
fought over two.
2. Last Man Standing. As the name applies, the last one standing, man or
woman, wins! Can you form teams? Most certainly! Just remember, only
one can win!
3. Cattle Raid. This is a resurrection battle. Rubber Band Guns are allowed,
however, you are not allowed to reuse ammo that has been shot. One
team must get at least five cattle (hay bales) into their corral. This will be
fought twice, the team with the best time wins!
4. Capture the Flag. This is a timed resurrection battle. No Rubber Band
Guns in this scenario. Three to five flags will be posted throughout the
field.
Sunday 06 July
Armor Inspections: 10 AM
Pick ups: Near the melee field. Make sure there is a marshal present!
1. Cut and Thrust Double Elimination Tourney. If we do not have enough
people authorized in this weapons form we will modify the tourney format.
Since we will be sharing the fields with our fellow Armored Combatants,
we will need to help move the hay bales around.
