July Sword Fighting Tournament 2013 Details!

As promised, I'm here to talk about the upcoming tournament that is being planned out by myself and Zakary. We were planning on doing three tournaments, but ended up deciding on only two because of the lack of time to make one in June. So, we'll have to do only two and what not. So, only one in July and one in August.
