Martial Activities

Armored Combat Tournaments

The Crest Tournament!

In the Crest tournament fighters wear crests on their helmets and dress up in all their fighting finery.  The crest should be attached firmly, but not so firmly that it cannot be removed by knocking it off or askew, if it is a flexible crest. A flexible crest must have a rigid base that is a minimum of 2″ high.  If the crest is rigid, it should be possible with a good blow to knock it off, break it, or knock it askew.  Crests can be made of any semi-rigid material so long as it poses no danger of injury to either combatant.  Paper machete, plaster of Paris or foam could all be used, for example.

At the beginning of the tournament, the fighters process before the crowd, so that all may admire the crests and judge which their favorite is.  Once the fighting begins, fighters will proceed to attempt to knock the crests off of each other’s helmets.  Due to its unique nature, the tournament will be single elimination, with the fighter being eliminated once his or her crest is less than 6″ high.  The 6″ is measured from the top of the helmet.  The weapon forms allowed are sword and shield, Florentine, single sword or great sword.

Awards will be given for:

• The winner of the tournament,
• The best crest,
• The Best fighter death, and
• The best crest death
