Last week saw some impromptu competitions occurring giving us a chance to play with some of the tweaks to the open rules project, the main of these being this.
"If the amount of double kills equals the amount of points required to win a bout then both parties lose and the bout is called null"
what this means is that, if in a bout you require a score of 5 points to win, yet in pursuing those points you and your opponent instead have 5 double kills (simultaneous hits or a hit followed by being struck with an afterblow), the fight is called as null (non scoring) and you both count as having a loss. If the score needed to win is ten points, ten doubles would null.
This worked very well, we will fine tune it and see if it should be included it the rules..
The next point to be tried is the polish system of dealing with grapples, kicks pommels and punches. all of these are allowed, but only a hit with the blade edge or point will score. I will post the full rule over the next few days.
