Tyrnhaw 2019 - Longsword Men - My fights

**PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION**

This is the "raw" footage from the Tyrnhaw 2019 tournament I attended on October 19th in Trnava. There were 81 people competing.

The rules are rather simple:
- All valid hits award one point
- In case of a double hit both fencers are awarded one point each
- It is possible to score a point by dominance – dominance in wrestling, dominance by disarming or weapon dominance
- The longsword tournament uses the “Vor” rule – a fencer who (in case of a doublehit) attacked in tempo and did no mistake in his attack (the doublehit is apparently caused by wrong reaction of the opponent) may be awarded a point for their hit (low percent of cases)
- there is no afterblow, most afterblows are doubles, sometimes the rule above is used
- The fights in pools are fought to 5 points, the fights in eliminations to 7 points

Some remarks
- the tournament was run from 8am (first pools) to 9pm (finals)
- not every exchange resulted in score, I cut out the judges rulling to show just the exchanges
- opponents vary in their skill; winning over someone doesn't mean they are bad or weak, it just happens, to everyone
- everyone does mistakes, it's the very essence of our HEMA path to learn and get better
- everyone has their style and video has its limits. Psychology, mood, stress etc. are important factors in every tournament
