Beau Geste, June, 2014

Yesterday, before a crowd of curious onlookers at Riverfest, we held our Beau Geste tournament. It was Gui's variation on the Round Robin, which is a real excellent meat grinder. Every body holds the field once, and you count only the wins and losses when you are holding the field--so, with five fighters, you fought everybody four times. (16 fights). Myself, Gui, Tycho, Auzur, and Samale (sp) contested. Gui was fighting so there would be more fighters but, as he was the current Beau Geste, he was not competing for the prize. The finals were best two out of three, with various matched weapons. Tycho won the sword and shield fight, Auzur won the long sword fight and then the two weapon fight, winning the day. Vive la Beau Geste!

November Beau Geste at 100 Minutes War

Because of the holidays and scheduling conflicts we held the Beau Geste tournament at 100 Minutes War. As a result, it was by far the largest tournament that we have held in the series. It was big enough, and it was so cold and late, that we didn't even have a sign in sheet. As a result, I don't know the names of everyone who competed. I apologize to those I leave out.

I think there were 23 fighters competing, but i could be wrong, These included Sir Bryce and Sir Ragnar from Atlantia, Lady Beatrix from Aethelmarc, Avran, Tormunder. Ionis, Karl, Ansel, and the Mayer clan.

The finalists were Sir Ragnar and Ionis, Ionis won 2/1. Ragnar received the baner.

Vive Le Beau Geste!
