Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) Crown Tournament of Anarchia
Anarchia is a fictional SCA Kingdom from John Ringo’s Council Wars Scifi Series. The series is set in the far future, just after the fall of civilization. Each year, at ConCarolinas, SCA fighters compete in a tournament to become the new King of Anarchia. John Ringo himself has seen the tournament, and in the past, presented the Crown to the winner. The SCA turns 50 years old this year, with chapters all over the world. SCA combat is exciting, full contact, and un-choreographed. The object in SCA combat is to strike your opponent with a blow hard enough that your opponent feels it would have killed or wounded them depending on where it landed. Legal target areas are anywhere 1 inch above the knees and 1 inch above the wrist. The tournament will last an hour, with the winner of each fight staying on the field and fighting the next fighter ready to come onto the tourney field. Should a fighter win 3 fights in a row, then he leaves the field and the next 2 combatants take the field. Come, see the glory that is armored SCA combat!!
