The Armour Archive

For those that know, does any one know of or remember the guidelines to a Papal tourney. If I am remembering right it was to have no blood shed and win by a yeld. is this correct. I saw it done at Neiblungen Kreig last year during the Pas but I don't quite remember the specifics.

a little help
thanks

Lol - when I read the title I thought it was a "Paypal" tourney!

We did one at St. Valentine's Day Massacre a few years ago. Wins were by disabling your opponent. Basicly arm hunting and leg hunting. If you killed your opponent, i.e. hitting them in the head or body, you also won, however, you could only do that once. kill your opponent twice and your were "banned for the day by papal decree" your penance was up to the lady in charge of the tournement.
since i'm a headhunter, i was banned after the second round just couldn't stop muscle memory.

If "Papal Tourney" involves anything of historically involving the Papacy, the list should be charged by several thousand Hospitallers every two minutes, who proceed to kill everyone in sight and leave gladly to return shortly =)
