Greetings Rapier Fighters

Samhain is fast approaching, and while we can’t cross blades in person, we can still compete online.

There was to be a Baroness’s Brawl at Samhain this year, so instead how about we prepare for the next time we meet by creating BAR BRAWL INSPIRED OFF-HAND PARRYING DEVICES.

RULES:
1) On the day of I will post a Chopped-style list of mandatory myster materials that you must incorporate into your Parrying Device in some way. This will be posted to the Samhain Facebook event page.
2) All entries must be built new for the competition.
3) All Parrying Devices must meet standards set out in the Avacal Book of Rapier section 2.4 (page 13), found in the link below.

4) The Parrying Device must be something that you you would have brought with you to a tavern/pub, or thst you would likely find if a brawl erupted.
5) All submissions must be received by 4pm on November 8th (allowing plenty of time for building and acquiring materials). Winner(s) will be announced that evening.

SCORING:
Points will be awarded for creativity, incorporation of the mystery materials, functionality, and fun.

SUBMISSION:Submit photos/video of your Parrying Device to the event Facebook website and tag myself, Baron Blue, and Baroness Bóthilðr. Please include a brief description of the item and where you incorporated the mandatory mystery materials.

Good crafting!
