TMHF's first public tournament!
An event years in the making, come compete in Champaign IL for glory in Longsword and Single-Handed Stout Sword.
Have you ever competed in mixed steel or similar, and were excited to use your dinky little Messer, Dussack, Early Period Sidesword, Broadsword, or whatever, only to face a tiresome gauntlet of 9000 inch rapiers with dagger companions? Well, that's what B.O.N.K.E.D. is for! We want to see you come and compete with your favorite shorter sword, against other shorter swords.
Sunday
Single Handed Sword.
(HEMARatings category TBD)
Maximum blade length 36"
curved or strait blade, single or double edged, complex or simple hilts.
Dussacks and Tessacks uwu
Sideswords
Messers
Arming swords
Broadswords
Sabres
Anything we would look at and say "That's not a rapier, is primarily for cutting actions, is used in one hand, has a blade about 36" or less, also it's really cool, who made it, can I try it?"
