SUMMARY:BOHEMA: First Harvest
DESCRIPTION:In cooperation with HVN (Netherlands) and EHMS (Finland)\, we are excited to invite you to our first international beginner-and-basic level longsword tournament – BOHEMA*: First Harvest. \nOn September 7 and 8\, in the city of Prague\, Czech Republic. \nOur clubs plan this event to create an entry-level friendly environment where students from all over Europe can meet their peers in a big\, exciting event and fight\, fight\, fight! We have NO CAP on the number of participants. \nBut who are the beginners and regulars? It is up to the instructors to decide. Recomended bar is stunts with about up to 3 years of practice. We can tell you who are not: people who have won medals in beginner\, open\, or advanced competitions. We will have open and advanced events later for you. \nWhat about women\, is the tournament mixed? Yes\, it is. And there are no beginner restrictions for women fencers. Please\, come and fight as much as you want. We need more of you in HEMA. \nOn Saturday – The Tournament.\nLarge pools of 7 fencers\, everyone goes to eliminations\, final pools\, and unlimited sparrings on both days of the event. You will probably have some of the best judging possible with all instructors judging the fights. \nOn Sunday – Sparring Games.\nSpar as long and as much as you can with instructors and other students. Participate in different sparring games until you faint from exhaustion. \nEpic Location:\nWe have booked the modern\, stellar\, slick\, and comfortable Repy Arena for the event. A cafe with fresh meals and a hotel with a sauna and swimming pools will be at your service. If you get a hotel room there\, the tournament hall will be just a 1-minute lazy walk from your bed. \nHelp with equipment:\nIf\, as sometimes happens with beginners\, you lack any equipment\, we will provide it. \nAll swords will be provided by Kvetun Armoury. \nRules:\nRules will be announced a bit later\, but the event will be conducted in the spirit and traditions of the Nordic scene. Please expect high-quality strike requirements\, afterblows\, ring outs\, wrestling (without throws)\, and other amenities. \nEntry fee:\nSaturday Beginner Tournament: 110 EUR\nSunday Sparring Games: 40 EUR (all levels of fencer can apply) \nYeah\, a bit pricey. Yet\, all staff will be paid\, judges’ flights compensated\, the arena is epic\, and amenities are presented. Let’s grow more professional together. You are going to love it\, I promise! \nRegistration is open via HEMAGON until August 7th. Refunds are possible up to the end of the registration period. \nLooking forward to meeting you at BOHEMA*: First Harvest! \n*BOHEMA stands for Brutally Oppressive Historical European Martial Arts. 😉\nRegistration period: 29 May 2024 – 7 August 2024\nRegister at HEMAGON:\nhttps://hemagon.com/tournament/bohema1

SUMMARY:Southeast Renaissance Fencing Open 2024
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the 10th holding of the South East Renaissance Fencing Open!!!\nWe shall be opening registration for the event in the next week.\nAs in previous years\, we shall be at KSU Marietta Gym\, this year from June 7th-9th.\nHaving listened to the feedback from last year\, we have some changes and updates to the event.\n– Saturday shall be Longsword only. We will be doing the Tiers A\, B\, and C again this year.\n– We will only be doing First Blood Rapier and Conventional Rapier. Conventional Rapier shall be updated slightly to differentiate it more from First Blood and hopefully give fencers more fencing time.\n– We have already started Director training for SERFO 24 among those in the local clubs who have volunteered to help out. Our goal is to improve the quality\, clarity\, and conformity of the judging this year in response to issues we experienced in 2023.\n– We have also started planning on how to improve the bullpen\, provide updates to fencers during the event\, etc.\n– The rules book shall be updated and reformatted to make it easier to read through and understand\n– There will be new medals.\n– Etc.\nThe Tournaments being held this year are:\nUnder Represent Genders Longsword – 32 (Soft upper limit)\nSabre – 32 (This is a semi-invitational where we shall pick from those interested. We shall give you plenty of notice of who is accepted)\nOpen Longsword – 128 (Hard limit. There will be a waitlist)\nTier A – 36 fencers\nTier B – 44 fencers\nTier C – 48 fencers\nFirst Blood Rapier – 52 (Hard limit. There will be a waitlist)\nConventional Rapier – 60 (Hard limit. There will be a waitlist)\nSword and Buckler – 56 (Hard limit. There will be a waitlist)\nFor those who do not know\, the KSU Marietta campus is located in a great spot with many restaurants only a few minutes drive north on the same road as the entrance. Plus\, Marietta downtown is less than a 10 minute drive away. There are plenty of hotels and AirBnBs within a close driving distance of the venue.\nDue to inflation and added costs from the venue and insurance\, we have to slightly raise the cost of the event for this year.\nCost for Event:\n– Weekend Early Registration – as always\, registration costs for SERFO includes registration into as many tournaments as you wish to compete in (until May 25th) – $100\n– Weekend Registration after this day\, as well as at the door (from May 26 to event date) – $120\n– Single Day Registration – $75\n– T-Shirt – $20\nWe look forward to seeing you at SERFO 24 to celebrate our 10th anniversary in holding the event. It is an exciting thing to be able to say!\nhttps://www.facebook.com/serfencingopen

DESCRIPTION:Hello\, everyone.\nRegistration for Wine Country Sword Crush III is now Open!\nCrush III is April 27th and 28th at Piner High School in Santa Rosa\, CA.\nThis year we’re doing a few things differently:\n1) Our fourth event is going to be Sword & Buckler- limited to the first 20 entrants\n2) We are hosting ticket sales on EGF’s website instead of Eventbrite. You can find the link here: https://www.egfencing.com/events-calendar with ticket sales on the bottom of the page. You will be choosing which events you want to compete in via which bundle you choose. Everything should be self-explanatory\, but if you have questions\, send me a DM.\nA few of you purchased your tickets before the go-live that happened yesterday and while we were having teething issues. I have your names and will be reaching out to you shortly on how to complete your registration.\nBe on the lookout for updates in the coming weeks. We’re currently refining rules\, conducting judging training\, and preparing to see you all again.\nhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/477086931125678
