After two rounds of single elimination had narrowed the field the tournament continued as best two out of three. In the end two fighters remained. Sir Simonn of Amber Isle and Master Lloyd von Eaker. As night had fallen and it was too dark to fight, the final round was postponed until Sunday.


That evening after court and feast had concluded the heavens opened up in a deluge. The rain continued the rest of the night and ended the next morning. As the fighters prepared for the final round, the police arrived, and fearing a flood, closed the park and told everyone to leave at once.

The King and Queen of Atenveldt - Jonathan and Willow, Their Highnesses of Ansteorra - Randal and Constance, the finalists and a few others met at a nearby school to finish the tournament and select a heir. However the authorities arrived and told them they could not fight on school property, and so the tournament continued in a field across the street from the school. In the end Sir Simonn of Amber was victorious.
