Double-elimination lists

Double-elimination lists
The SCA variant on the medieval tournament where each combatant may lose two fights before withdrawing from the event. Generally a series of formal single combats, the field is gradually reduced as ‘trees’ of combatants meet and eliminate one another until there are two remaining. These two fight in the finals under a great deal of focus and attention. A purely modern creation, such lists were not used during the middle ages, being most closely related to ‘jousting cheques.’
