Good Afternoon, Blackspire!
I would like to announce the 2026 Toys for Tots Tournament!
November 15th at Dallas City Park we will be hosting a bear pit style tournament with 4 brackets:
Single Short
Short and Any Sized Shield
Dagger
Open weapon
One donation of an unopened, unwrapped toy will buy you one life to enter the tournament, and our very own Mordric has volunteered to make a belt favor for the winner.
So thank you Mordric, and I hope to see everyone there, and ready to fight, rain or shine!
Hope you're all doing well.
- Nobody, Clan Wizard

TOURNAMENT RULES — SWISS FORMAT
Non-elimination. Everyone fights a fixed number of rounds, paired each round against players with a similar record. No rematches.
• Matches are best 2 of 3
• Win = 3 · Draw = 1 · Loss = 0
• Simultaneous kills count as draws and are recorded as such; draws are not re-fought
• With an odd number of players, the bye is a fight against Zionus Vengeant
• Ties broken by strength of schedule, then opponents' match-win percentage, then head-to-head
Questions: Zionus Vengeant, Champion of Eternal Glades
