We welcome all fencers back to another year of Holmgång!
Holmgång 2024 will be a 2-day event and take place 25-26th of May at Rödabergshallen, in Stockholm.
Saturday the 25th of May will feature:
– Beginners’ Longsword
– Women’s and underrepresented genders' Longsword
– Open Longsword
Sunday the 26th of May will feature:
– Open Sword & Buckler
– Open Single Rapier
– Open Sabre
The beginners' Longsword is aimed at fencers who have no or little experience competing in Longsword. (There are however no definite limitations regarding previous competition attendance or performance).
The women’s and underrepresented genders' Longsword is aimed at all women, but also any who identify as an underrepresented gender.
The Open tournaments are open for any and all fencers.
All tournaments will be fought in a pool stage followed by a direct elimination stage.
We aim to have a pool size of 6 fencers.
We aim to advance ALL FENCERS (or up to 32 fencers in Open Longsword) to the direct elimination stage.
This will increase the number of bouts per fencer compared to last year.
The bronze and gold finals will take place at the end of the day.
E.g. all Saturday disciplines’ finals will take place at the end of the Saturday, and all the Sunday disciplines’ finals will take place at the end of the Sunday.
The finals will be fought as a best-of-three bouts.
