Pennsic Heroic Rapier Champs Team Selection Tournament

Description:
• Double elimination
• Single pass
• Re-fight doubles until a clean result
• Any weapons form
• No RBGs
• Spears and C&T are allowed, only if your opponent agrees to it.  Anyone has the right to decline either option, and they do not need to give a reason why or owe anyone any further explanation. 

The purpose of these tournaments is to help us select people to win a singular pass, after an indeterminate time waiting, in front of the known world, while representing the East.  All decisions that we make are pointed towards us achieving that goal.  We would remind fighters that doing well at these tournaments does not guarantee success. 

Even if you are not interested in representing the team at Pensic, we would welcome your participation in our tournaments.
