Youth fighting begins at noon with inspections, followed by the tourney at 12:30. Tourney format will depend on the number of fighters; bear pit or round robin are most likely. There will also be melees. **You must be an authorized fighter to compete in the tourney at any SCA event**. To be eligible for the Iron Comet championship, you MUST enter the Arts & Sciences competition plus at least two of the three martial areas: archery, thrown weapons, and youth combat. If you enter all three martial areas, your lowest martial score will be dropped
for purposes of tallying scores to determine the champion. </div><div class="yiv1058078120yui_3_2_0_24_131436516641965 yiv1058078120yui_3_2_0_17_131491212114767
