Erinwood 2007

A private invitational tournament hosted by Eireannach nic Ghiolla Chainnigh and Adalberon Blackwood - Year 3

Day 1 - tiles are drawn and the fighters are assigned to a field. Then the fighters do a round robin fight with all those on their field. Points are awared - 1 point for an injury, 2 point for a double kill (not refought), 3 points for a win, -.5 points for uncivilrous acts, +1 point for especially civilrous acts. The fighter with the most points becomes captain of that field for Day 2. Melees may also be fought for fun.

Day 2 - a set number of fights are fought. Each captain decides who fights and with which weapon. Each fighter may be "used" until he/she has 2 deaths. Challenges alternate between field captains. Melees are also fought for fun and points.

Evening of each day brings wonderful feasts by the Feastfairies.
