At the first fencing session of the year was Alligator Island fought with epées. This was a first blood tourney, with the fencers confined to a 3m by 3m square 'island'.

Any fencer stepping out of this area was deemed to have fallen into the water and have been eaten by the alligators. It was run as a round robin with each fencer facing the same opponent three times in all.

The final scores were as follows: Jacquelyna 1, Ekaterina 1, Ólafur 4 and Þórmóður 4 and Hrafngunnur 5. Only one fencer - Ólafur - was eaten by the alligators.

The aim of each fencer was to touch the wall behind their opponent with the tip of their blade - killing the opponent was not absolutely necessary. Any fencer who stepped outside the 'bridge' was considered to have fallen into the moat and drowned. The tourney was run as a double round robin, each fencer facing the same opponent twice, once at each end of the bridge. One point was scored for the first fencer to touch the far wall. <br /> <br /> The final scores were as follows: Jacquelyna 0, Ekaterina 5, &Oacute;lafur 7 and &THORN;&oacute;rm&oacute;&eth;ur 12. It produded two amusing highlights - a double kill where both fencers were sitting, and one instance where both fencers scored points as they decided to rush past each other rather than try to fight!</p> http://www.klakavirki.org/news.html 96DD3AD4-021E-4CBD-907C-3649D11D9EF4-1666-00006EAD155AE87E-FFA Sat, 12 Jan 2008 21:35:27 +0000
