Women's tournaments have several uses within the game. First, they provide a networking opportunity for building the community of women fighters. They allow newer players, or those new to tournaments, an avenue to practice competing in a friendly environment and perhaps build confidence for larger open tournaments. They allow women to compete among each other, in line with most mainstream sports up to the Olympics.
A note on best practices: Recent women's tournaments have followed several practices to be successful.
- Inclusive: All interested women and female-identifying players are welcome to participate if they are interested in doing so.
- Optional: Women should not be expected to enter a women's tournament nor excluded from existing open tournaments. In particular, a women's tournament should be scheduled at times that do not conflict with an open tournament so that eligible players may fight in both.
- Respectful: In the past, some women's tournaments allowed men to enter dressed in drag, encouraged cat-calling from spectators, and generally treated the event as a joke. Modern events avoid these practices and expect respectful behavior from both participants and spectators.
- Professional: As in any tournament, strong reeving, good recordkeeping and clear expectations help players succeed.
Women's tournaments and awards: The existing Warrior award ladder is designed to recognize battlefield prowess and success in open tournaments. The place of women's tournaments within this framework remains the subject of disagreement, but it should be noted that 7th Warrior and above are explicitly confined to kingdom weaponmaster, warmaster and quals events per the Rules of Play. Case-by-case decisions about awards are currently settled between the relevant player, the tournament runners, and the monarchy.
Tournament results: The table below recognizes winners of women's tournaments by tracking results in a central location across the game.
