Welcome warriors! The year of 2009 will bring our Traditional Boffer Tourney back for its 4th season. Think you are the best at single sword fighting? Or perhaps you are the master of sword and shield? Perchance Pole-Arm and Great Sword? Or even, two-weapons at once?

Crossing Swords Smithery has agreed to sponsor this years tourney along with Silverleaf Armory and Leatherworks.

Each day of the Ren Faire we will run one of these styles and the minimum age for participation is sixteen.

Entry in the Tourney is 7$, with the winner in each receiving a weapon from Crossing Swords Smithery, as well as prizes from EndofSeasons.com.

We also will be trying something different this year, with a 3 on 3 multi-style honor system combat. This exhibition tourney is 20$ for participation per team. Victors gets bragging rights as well as an embroidered cloth weapon from Crossing Swords Smithery, with the year and tourney name.

This tourney will be held on June 13th.

Weapons:
Latex weapons are not allowed due to the high degree of variances between makes. Some weapons will be available for use.
