By custom and law the Prince and Princess of Northshield must devise and hold a tournament to decide Their Heirs. The format is as follows:

Opponents will challenge in to seed the tree. Combatants will draw lots to determine if they are challengers or challengees. Challenger's tokens will be numbered to determine the order in which the challenges are to be made.
Each round will be best 2 of 3. The semi-finals will be best 2 of 3, 2 out of 3 times, with the combatants from the winner's tree having to win one set of the 2 of 3, the combatant from the loser's tree must win two sets of the 2 of 3s. The finals will be simply best 2 of 3.
For each round the weapon styles will be divided into two classifications, One Handed Weapons and Two Handed Weapons. One-handed weapons include Weapon and Shield, Two Weapon (including two-sword, sword and 6' spear/great axe/etc.) and Single Handed Weapon (ex, single sword). Two handed weapons include Bastard Swords, Great Swords, Pole Arms, 6' Spears used with two hands).
In each round the Combatant who is junior in precedence will decide which weapons classification will be used in the first fight, the senior in precedence will decide the classification for the second fight. If the third fight is necessary, each combatant will bring out whatever weapon style they like, provided it conforms to the Tournaments weapon restrictions.
No weapons of war, meaning; No weapon my exceed 6 feet in length. No back-up weapons will be allowed. Shields will be only so tall that the owner can comfortably stand over it and shall be no wider than the distance from the top of the shoulder to the tip of the finger of the owner.
