3v3 TAG TEAM “ANNIHILATION” SKIRMISH

Teams of 3 fight one-on-one but have the opportunity to tag out, change weapons, and huddle to discuss strategy between encounters. Unlike standard Lightspeed Saber, each fencer goes into the fight with a set amount of life points. You can rack up a lot of kills while still being eliminated if you’re not careful. Defense restores life points and revives defeated teammates. It’s a fight of threes on two fronts!

• Each team must have at least one man and at least one woman on the team

• All weapons

• All grades or lack thereof, no membership required

• Elimination bracket

• Teams of 3 (no more, no less)

• Annihilation rules

TEAM DUET SKIRMISH

Are you a force dyad? Master and padawan? Form a skirmish wing and battle against other wings to see which team reigns supreme.

Each skirmish is made up of six one-on-one matches. The first four matches are reconnaissance bouts— feel out your opponents and see what they can do. Every member of a team fights every member of the other team.

The final two battles are secret— you won’t know who you’re facing until you step in the ring. Discuss strategy with your teammate, plan ahead, and come up with the best strategy to achieve victory.

• All genders eligible

• Elimination bracket

• Teams of two (no more, no less)

• Skirmish format
