You DO NOT have to kill your opponent to obtain each point.
 
At the end of the Swiss 5, the person with the most points will be declared the overall victor.
 
If there are numerous “overall victors” these fighters will make up the finals bracket.
 
This portion of the tournament will remain a first blood, but single point to determine the victor.
 
His Sanguine Highness Orion will determine your weapons styles for the finals amongst the Swiss 5 styles stated previously.<BR>
