Authorizations and inspections will start at 9:30<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will be followed by a double-elimination, Atlantian speed tourney, which will be the rapier<\/a> Tritan Tourney. This will start at 10:15 sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will be followed by a capture-the-flag resurrection field battle<\/strong>, with multiple timepoints for checking on flag ownership – this will ensure everyone gets in sufficient melee<\/a> fighting before the heat of the day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n We will then have a brief break for lunch and setting up the afternoon theme-based scenarios (in no particular order<\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
