Bear-pit style tournament

An SCA form of tournament where each combatant may challenge any other combatant. Sometimes, a victory is accorded a set number of points, other times they can gain points according to the rank of the defeated opponent. At the end of the day, the points are tallied to determine a victor. Traditionally, it is held that this form of tournament is best for endurance, that the ability to go the furthest is the best method to victory.
