Cut & Thrust Tournament Rules

Counted Blows: Both combatants will fence until a single combatant scores 6 total points. Holds will only be called for safety (not after a successful strike) or once a combatant has reached 6 total points. If both combatants are grappling authorized, grappling will be allowed and if a successful joint lock or throw (or to the throw) is applied that will be an immediate victory regardless of points.

Limbs = 1 point

Torso/head = 2 points.

We are going to run this 2 times (single handed weapon in the AM and longsword in the PM).
