Rapier: Tournament of Erehwon.
Armored: There's space for pick-ups, and if things work out, The Battle of Sleddin' Hill
Other Fun: Still in the works, but perhaps Hunting the King's Deer, assorted fun and games, maybe dancing, and you can always poke a peasant. (Hey, that sounds like a dance; "Polka Peasant.")
Erehwon is a Kingdom that exists in an alternate dimension. However, this dimension is linked with ours by the Tournament of Erehwon. Upon a victor of the Tournament of Erehwon, it will come into existence in our plane from that moment until the light of the next day. The winner and his/her consort will be crowned King of Charm and Wit and Queen of Grace and Adoration of Erehwon on the spot. However, here is the kicker, the Kingdom of Erehwon has no relation to previous or future appearances of Erehwon since there in no relation of time in this dimension to Erehwon's dimension (except while it exists here). There is no regalia, retinue, award structure, or laws (short of the societies), so the visiting monarchs of Erehwon will have to create and enact all of this (with the help of their so declared retinue) while Erehwon exists here.
The format for this Rapier Tournament is a round robin with double elimination.
The visiting Monarchs of Erehwon will preside at feast (which will be provided for their Majesties). During feast, their Erehwonian Majesties will then get to open a formal court of Erehwon and declare/present any awards they have (invented) pronounced, invite retinue, decree Royal Whims and Prerogatives, and in general put on a good show.
