Rapier and Armored fighters: at St Valentines Massacre & ToC on 2/8/25, to limit touchpoints for the spreading of viruses and germs – we will not be providing 5 gallon coolers of water or Gatorade in either fight hall. We encourage everyone to bring your own personal hydration choices. The concession stand sells beverages at a reasonable price, if needed.

Large indoor events in the winter definitely carry an increased danger of sharing/spreading the current flavor of viruses and illnesses. There is no shame in staying away if you are not feeling well or worried about your future health.

Wash your hands frequently and wear a mask if you prefer.
