I hope all of these guys using these square shields are Picts.
This type of shield seems to be the more *rare* of the Migration era.

Dieterick, none of this matters to me. All I ask is this- if you set up across from Midrealm Royal again this year, would you please not take out a rattan sword and start beating on your display armour every five minutes? Please? I know it's part of your sales routine, but I'm begging you- please do...

Invisible armour was taken into account. If you did not have the minimum amount of plate or mail armour on your person you would not be allowed to participate.

The SCA is no doubt afraid that wasters are an invitation for the unarmoured to start sparring, instead of doing disciplined slow work. Go to see Brian, or ARMA or Bob Charron if you want to study and play with the manual techniques- learn what you can and apply it to SCA combat where you can. It's ...

A Barrier tourney isn't neccesarily a Pas d'Armes. A counted blow format doesn't make it a Pas either. There are many types of fighting event- jousting, tourney, Emprise, Pas d' Armes, festival.

Were the single-sword matches fought in "Rhysian Style"?

Fighting AS sport.
There has been some great commentary on another thread about sport attitudes and harness choices- some of the best ideas that I have seen here in years.

There is alot going on in this thread, much of which I have long-since grown tired of debating. I will just say this- Duke Cuan looks as accurate as any SCA fighter who does 14th century.

The hosts of a Pas d'Armes would have no intention of forcing you to ransom your horse or armour. Ransom isn't part of the Pas- it's is part of the true Tournament.
