Here are the rules from the Marshall in Charge: Recently I have been asked a few questions about the heavy tourney format for this years Tourney of Ymir. I thought I would post the answers here as well just in case some others had similar questions. Can I fight with something other than a sword? If ...

BWAHAHAHAHAH! They haven't done it as a holmgang in years, since those got banned for a time. It is a round shield only tourney, which leads to some intersting fights...since we can't use those "Standard Size Heaters". DA, So what are the odds of you winning? Actually, the odds of me winning are pr...

Animal, Is it true or not that the Chuxs take lighter blow calibration, at least to lower legs and feet? We dont swing at the ankles on purpose. We wear greaves because it hurts to get hit there if you dont. We also police ourselves. If someone is doing something stupid that might hurt me if it land...

To be honest, I've been in the SCA for around 14/15 years and I never even heard the term "Stick Fighting" until I came on the Armour Archive. Stick Jock, sure. Hey guess what?

Of course, a lot of our injuries come from the fact that most of us are not athletes, and yet we run around in armour on all sortas of wacky terrain. Most of us are out of shape losers. We pay the price for that. :twisted:

Brian, The tube around the helm is the Torse and then drape in the back is a Mantle. HOWEVER, there is a heresy in vogue now to put Torse and Mantles on bascinets (i've got no idea if that is your helm or not).
