After talking with Regent Katnchains (and the the autocrats for the event) and working under the event proposal amendment made by Ailanthus, we are having this event function as the WM Summer Midreign! The schedule for Weapon master and Dragon master will follow shortly.

We are set already. Date is booked, if it turns out we are up against SKBC, so be it, we loose a person or two. It won't be an issue on our end.

I meant you should threaten to power bomb him if he scheduled it on your date. ;)

Kingdom Weaponmaster will be run as per the corpora :single short, double short, short and shield, open weapon, and weapon over 5ft. In keeping with the theme of the event there will also be a 3 man team(time permitting). All required events will be double elimination in 20' by 20' rings(not pole/great).

I need reeves ,pm me here or Facebook please. I hope to run 3 rings depending on reeve availability.
You may sign up starting at 9am unless I get to site earlier. First tournament to begin at 10am! Fight hard and with honor!

If there are people going for the sole intention of participating in the Weaponmaster and/or Dragonmaster, are they required to pay gate?
Separately, is there a day fee for either day for full participants?

Hello everyone:) I am new to Amtgard and I am looking for the rules/guidelines for entering the A&S. categories and the like. Thank you so much for your time.

Hi BellaDonna.

Since the tournies at WMW2 will be part of Westmarch's midreign, they'll be ran per the kingdom corpora. You can always find the most recently published corpora on the Documents page of this website. The corpora up there right now is technically behind a revision but said revision only concerns how often a single item can be entered into the various competitions. (ignore this bit, it appears I am mistaken about there being a pending corpora change)

Which reminds me that I need to get an updated version of the corpora onto the website. I'll add that to my list... right in front of adding a more web-friendly and non-pdf version of the corpora for online viewing and linking.

Anyway. For your question: You'll want to see Article VI in the corpora. This article deals with Crown Qualifications and the Midreign tournaments. Section 4 has the complete list of categories an item can be entered into for the Dragonmaster competition. It's important that when you submit your item to the competition you choose the best category for the item. For example, if you submit a non-legal Amtgard sword (like, say, it's plastidip'd along the entirety of the blade but otherwise is perfectly legal) into the Construction: Weapon category, it's not going to score well at all.

Hope that helps.

Hello,
If I can make it on Sunday/Monday what are the parks rules if I bring an RV? I'm not talking about plug in or anything, just a place to park it and crash for the night?
