Weapons Tournament at Four Winds Ren Faire

Heres a tournament with an interesting twist. We're not planning on participating, but did think it looked interesting enough to promote it a bit.

Battlefield Weapons Tournament

What exactly is this tourney, anyway?This is a controlled-point sparring, weapons onlytournament for all styles - Asian, European, SouthAmerican - all traditions are welcome. There will beno Kata and no kids. It is an elimination-style eventwith winners from each weapons division (staff againststaff, pole arm against pole arm, swords againstswords, etc.) competing against each other for GrandChampion.

The final Grand Champion winner willreceive prize money of at least $1000. Second throughfourth places will receive prize monies, also.This is a chance to combine knowledge of weapons,knowledge of the human body, and knowledge that youcould wind up across from anyone in historical warsgone by, to safely duplicate a true battlefield-stylefight. It is a chance for those of us who are serious about what we do to find out how good we are.

Where can I find more info?
