Counted Blows Open Longsword Tournament
This tournament is a non-tiered longsword open, using an innovative rule set that encourages lengthier fencing exchanges that prioritize defense. Exchanges will continue for multiple touches, rather than stopping after a single blow. Given this is an experimental pilot tournament, organizers will attempt to make time for testing of the rule set with dussack, rapier, and dagger passes, following the conclusion of the main longsword tournament.
