from Maestro Michael Knazko:

Dear fellow fencers,
here is a description and the main purpose of RandomSlash Tournament, a brand-new sabre fencing tourney format developed in 2025 by Master of Arms Michael Knazko from Barbasetti Military Sabre (since 1895) Prague, Czech Republic specifically for SabreSlash 2025.
RandomSlash is a fencing event where fencers continuously fence against different opponents at random, without any specific winner or elimination rounds. The focus is on the act of fencing itself and the enjoyment of the sport, rather than competitive placement.
RandomSlash is a fencing tournament where there are no winners or losers, only fencers who continuously engage in bouts with different randomly selected opponents. This format emphasizes the continuous nature of the event rather than a competitive outcome.
The name “RandomSlash” reflects the random pairing of fencers for each bout. This means that throughout the event, participants will face a variety of opponents, and the matches will not be predetermined or structured around a traditional tournament bracket. The focus is on the experience of fencing itself and the interactions between different fencers, rather than on determining who is “best.”
