Sword School's Heatmeister Tournament
Jul
13

Sword School's Heatmeister Tournament

The Sword School's in house Tournament. We are experimenting with a new judging and scoring system so we decided to make it an in-house tournament to test it.

Heatmeister Tournament Structure:
1. Each match will consist of a 60 Sec non-stop bout (imagine 90 secs of sparring)
2. Two Judges per fighter and a ring Marshal
3. Fighters will be awarded with positive/ negative points throughout the match
4. Negative points include: martial strikes received/ poor sportsmanship (revenge cuts, arguing, being an ass)
5. Positive points include: attacks well executed, display of knowledge of proper measure, footwork, and technique, and good sportsmanship.
6. Points will be accrued at the conclusion of pools until the top scoring four remain.
7. Finals will be conducted in the same fashion.
8. Judges will be tested and qualified to ensure they know what to look for.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS??
We want to place more emphasis on skill and knowledge with the weapon and feel the best way to demonstrate this is through continuous fighting, without the interruption of resetting. You will be awarded for being outstanding.
A continuous bout is likened to sparring, and will hopefully diminish fighter scoring anxiety and “lucky shot” factors.
Fighters will get to fight A LOT more. Less hurry up and wait and more fighting.
More fighting means more fun.

We will go more into what constitutes scoring points in a couple of weeks. As testing of this system continues, we will likely be making changes and discovering issues. For instance; this may not work well for knife, but we shall see. Once we get everything ironed out, we will make a video on the system.

Gear Requiments:
• Mask with back of head protection
• Padded gloves (rigid for long sword)
• Gambeson or padded jacket
• Elbow and forearm protection
• Gorget, standalone or built into gambeson/jacket
• Knee protection(recommended, not mandatory)
• Athletic cup for men (advised for women but not mandatory)
• Chest protector for women (recommended, not mandatory)
