Rose Tourney | Barony of the Flame

About

The Barony of the Flame welcomes you to Rose Tourney! The event will be held at the Shelbyville Fairgrounds on Saturday November 4, 2023.

Rose Tourney is an annual event where members of Order of the Rose sponser combatants in a tournament. This year’s Rose Tourney will be an elimination (bracket style) tournament with combatants in archery, armored, and rapier.

Tourney Format

Each team shall consist of 6 members plus the sponsoring rose:

1 archer
3 armored combatants (no more than one member of the Chivalry)
2 rapier combatants (no more than on member of the Order of Defense)

Archery will be run as the first event. Placings from the archery shoot will be used to seed the bracket for the remainder of the tournament (think NCAA basketball seeding).

The combat portion of the event will pair all members of each team (3 heavy and 2 rapier pairings). The team with the most wins moves on, with the other team dropping to the lower bracket or being removed from the tourney.

Exact details will be based on the number of Rose teams present.

Arts and Sciences

There will be a covered area dedicated to A&S displays and Crafter’s Green space. Roses are encouraged to sponsor a prize for the display that impresses them in some way. This can be interpreted in a number of ways, scale, scope, promising work in a specific art or period, etc.
