Lambpoint
Larrick Student Center
04/13/2019 08:00 – 04/14/2019 18:00
Lambpoint is our national beginner's competition! If you have only fought in 2 or less national ranking competitions, this is for you!
The structure consists of mentors, instructors, and competitors. Any of these three should be ready to judge, direct, or staff tables during the competition.
Saturday will consist of lessons, workshops, and other fun games to practice the skills being taught that day to competitors.
Sunday will consist of the tournament, with a sturdy ruleset. The competitors on Sunday will be broken into different 2-3 person groups with a mentor, who will help run them through the things they have learned the day before throughout the competition and continue to give them pointers.
Instructors/Mentors: Please make sure to contact us about lesson plans and your expertise!
