Come early at 1:30 to armor up and get inspected for our practice tourney.<br>
<br>This Sunday, Sept 23, we will have a <span class="il">Crown</span> <span class="il">Practice</span> Tourney starting at 2:30pm. This is an</span></font> opportunity to <span class="il">practice</span> key aspects of tournament
fighting: the first fight is the one that counts, the pressure of a
tourney situation, and fighting in a list of limited size. We will have roped-off lists set up. If you've never fought in a tournament, this is a good chance to try out how it works. The format will mirror Crown: Double elimination, no shields for quarter and semi finals. We will also have a Bear Pit running for those who have been killed twice. Countess Rosalinda, as the most recent member of the Barony to wear the crown, will grant a token as prize to the winner of the Crown Practice Tourney. Everyone is welcome to fight in this practice tourney; you do not have to be planning to fight in crown. Count Isenwulf will be fighting and is ready to give tips, and Duke Christopher will also be on hand to give suggestions to those who ask.<br>
<br>Duchess Morgen will be leading a mini-class for consorts (and anyone interested) on practical ways to support your fighter in a tourney- things you may not think of but are incredibly helpful. <br><br>
Also, we welcome any field heralds or heralds in training who would like
to join us to announce the fighters and make the proclamations upon the
field, in a situation of less pressure than an event. Serves to make
it more fun for everyone else, and can be good <span class="il">practice</span>. <br><br>We invite you to come and hang out and watch and chat with folks as well, even if you won't be active in any of the above. There's lots of shade. Bring your chair, some water, and a project. :-)<br>
<br>If you need armor, please make arrangements with the Iron Key Lady Sumayya ahead of time. Email her at <a href="mailto:ironkey@debatablelands.org" target="_blank">ironkey@debatablelands.org</a> . No armor will be provided unless it is requested in advance. <br>
<span></span>Need a ride? Join the <span>BMDL</span> Ride Boards (bmdlrideboard) at Google Groups and/or the Face Book <span>BMDL</span> Ride Board. <br><br><span>BMDL</span> Sunday Fighter <span class="il">Practice</span> will continue at Washington Blvd Park Sundays 2pm - 6pm unless other notice is given.<br>
As always, all interested parties are welcome. All other disciplines must provide their own marshals.<br><br>See you at <span class="il">practice</span>.<br><br>In service,<br>Cynewyn<br><br>Lady Cynewyn Ęthelweardesdother<br>
