Lake E-Fecht 2025

Hi all! After some delays and deliberation, we are happy to announce the return of Lake E-Fecht! Or this year, Lake E-Fecht Lite!

While we are grateful to how many people signed up last year in spite of the horrible weather, we have decided to downsize a little bit this year - lower participant caps on all events (20 per event), and no rapier (moving that to a separate one-handed-themed tournament rather than our winter KdF-themed tournament). Most notably, nothing will be uploaded to HEMA ratings from this event. We're a little short on experienced staff this year, and we really want to focus on tightening up our judging, event practices, rule sets, and having a fun event so we can scale up again next year.

Like Last year, events will include Messer, ABCD Longsword, Div. B Longsword, Div. A Longsword, and Dagger. Each event will have two rounds of pools - the first one with evenly distributed skill, the second sorted by pool one rankings. Overall winners will come from the top rated pool, but each pool will have a winner announced as well.
