The lyst marshall will be the new Captain of the Queen's Guard, Oldenfeld's own

Bar Room Brawl - fighting in the confined area with tables and other obstacles

Street Brawl - a more open area for the fighters better suited to fighting in more open spaces.

Winners will be declared in both battles,
and additional finalists will be selected by the gallery and the winners.
The winners from the two battles will then fight a ...

Burning Roof Tourney - With a shrinking field, and holes appearing in the fighting area, the burning roof tourney proves to be a quick crowd favorite.
