Good Gentles,<br><br>I would like to take this time to formally invite
one and all to participate in the Iron Comet Challenge, which is being
hosted in the Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands on April 30, 2011.<br>
<br>The official event announcement can be found at <a href="http://www.debatablelands.org/events/iron_comet/" target="_blank">http://www.debatablelands.org/events/iron_comet/</a><br><br>The
event will feature an all-day sideboard which is being cooked by Elss
of Augsburg, details of which will be announced at a later date.<br>
<br>The official rules of the competition will be as follows:<br><br>Participants
will need to enter an A&S display and compete in three out of the
following four martial disciplines: heavy weapons, fencing, archery, and
thrown weapons. There will be a special recognition for those who
compete in all four martial disciplines, they will in addition be
permitted to use their three best martial scores to determine their
final ranking.<br>
<br>Youth are also encouraged to participate. The youth iron comet will
require an A&S display as well as participation in one martial
discipline out of the following three: youth fighting, archery, and
thrown weapons. Those youth who participate in additional forms will be
allowed to use their best score to determine their final ranking, as
well as receive special recognition.<br>
<br>Further details of the scoring for each section will shortly be
available on the event website.<br><br>For those not inclined to enter the tournament, fear not there will be other activities at the event. The fields for all four martial disciplines will be open all day to those who are not participating in the competition, excluding those times when the fields are needed for the challenge participants.
