Larp Swordfighting Tournament

An exciting 1-on-1 LARP-swordfighting tournament for all experience levels! Will you take home a first place win? Participation is free for all visitors. Due to high interest, participants must register in advance. You can register on-site on the day of the festival at the Fantasy Court info stand. This year we will once again have a beautiful prize for the winners.

Tournament Rules Summary

• The tournament is based on 1-v-1 duels within an elimination bracket structure.
• The tournament will use LARP swords provided by the student association ESRG Knights of the Kitchen Table so that everyone fights using the same type of sword.
• The goal is to score strikes on your opponent without being struck yourself.
• Each duel is won by the first person to score 5 points or more from strikes while in the lead by 2 points or more.
• If no one has won a duel in the first two minutes, the person with the most points wins the duel.
• There are no rules related to armor.
• Cheating is not permitted.

A complete list of rules can be found here as well as posted on-site at the festival.
