Tournament Format

The 2025 Summer Coronet Tournament format is as follows:
We will be fighting a Swiss 5, using the common conventions of the Rapier field. This means that each combatant must use each of the 5 styles, but the fighters need not match styles with their opponents and can be used in any order of their choosing so long as each style is used once per fighter.

After the Swiss 5, we will go into a final, Bring Your Best bracket to determine the winner. (The amount of fights per round and size of the final bracket will be determined by the number of entrants and will be announced the day of the tournament if not sooner.)

The Five Styles will be:

• 2 Weapon (no madu)
• Sword and Madu
• 4 Foot Great Weapon
• 6 Foot Great Weapon
• Sword and Buckler (no greater than 12" diameter in any direction)

Event Steward's Thanks

The 9th Vindheim Coronet is now a memory for the books, and what a splendid day it was! I hope everyone’s experience was as joyful and fulfilling as my own. Words fail to capture the depth of my gratitude to all who lent their hands, hearts, and talents to make this day a true success.

To Their Excellencies of Wiesenfeuer and our esteemed Seneschal – my deepest thanks for your faith in me as steward, and for the unwavering support and tireless effort you poured into this event. Your guidance and encouragement made all the difference.

To the ever-delightful Knotty Squirrel Tavern – once again you worked your magic, crafting a luncheon both marvelous and delicious. Thank you for nourishing us all and bringing warmth and cheer to the day. And to every individual who contributed, whether in grand gestures or quiet deeds, I extend my most heartfelt thanks. Events such as this do not run on their own; they thrive through the collective spirit and willing hands of many. Each of you helped weave the tapestry of this day, and for that I am profoundly grateful.
