Event Description

The Huntress Guild presents the eleventh annual Tournaments of Artemis on June 8th!

Two team war-maneuver style tournaments will return this year (with some familiar experiences and a few new twists!). You will be sorted onto teams at the beginning of the event. Staff will do our best to make sure teams are equal in experience and size in order to make the tournaments fun for everyone. To vary up the combat and encourage practice and education, there will also be opportunities for smaller squad battles and individual match-ups–especially between Huntresses–throughout the day.

As always, our aim is to encourage women and nonbinary individuals in our community to take the lead in combat and tournaments, helping to give them the skills, confidence, and experience to go into other events feeling powerful. To insure this, we will work to promote an atmosphere of fun and friendly competition–one that promotes participants learning and trying out new things. The Huntresses on each team will get to take a central role in strategizing and leading their teams, and many of the tournaments will revolve around establishing crucial roles for them in combat. Furthermore, for the sake of encouraging said education and trying new things, all Huntresses can choose to play a fighter for this one event. However, this is not required to participate–there will absolutely be crucial roles for combat caster Huntresses as well.

Please come out, participate or spectate, and support our Huntresses and women in combat in our community! Tournament will include, among other content: the return of Stay in Your Lane and Dungeon Danger Dice, as well as the premier of new Teamwork Trials and Group Tarnisha’s Challenge Tournaments! Trivia! Non-com competitions! Killing Queens! Queens of Hills! Lots of Queen Content! Huntress Guild Induction Ceremony (very wholesome, minimum cult activity).

We will be serving a late lunch/early dinner at this event, as well as providing some snacks throughout the day.

Everyone is strongly encouraged to pre-reg (though paid pre-reg is not required), and all Huntresses MUST pre-reg by Tuesday, June 4th so that we can plan tournaments accordingly around you.

Looking forward to seeing all my ladies (and everyone else too) on the tourney field!
