Waterbearing

Join us in providing hydration to fighters and spectators alike! We are on the battlefield each day, cleaning, sanitizing and filling jugs (all the while having fun too!)

To those who are running tourneys on the smaller list fields and require water: please contact us ahead of time to make arrangements. The more notice we have, the better prepared we can be.

Volunteers

We appreciate any and all help that we get during the week, and so do the fighters!

Mornings: come 1.5 hours before the start of each day's War Point battles (both rapier and armored) to fill and distribute water bottles.
Afternoons: come for a few hours after each day's final battle, to collect, clean and refill bottles.

Whether you help us clean and fill jugs, or bring water to the fighters and spectators, we appreciate any and all assistance, from one hour to several days! Without your assistance we would have a lot more hydration issues throughout the war.

Please remember these simple rules for watering during battles:

Marshals are in charge- always follow their directives.
No live steel on the field.
Wear closed toe shoes on the field
You must be 18 to be a waterbearer on the field. (Minors may help provide water to the viewers on the sidelines.)

Remember to drink early and drink often– water that is!
