We are also introducing a Women&#8217;s Sabre discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmg\u00e5ng 2026 will consist of following disciplines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Registration is open!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Registration will be closed on <strong>28th of February at 24:00.<br><\/strong>Register here: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSci3aoj_FyI1LCfN9qw-U1MCi7e2RN3znKjwcAfxqaGyXrwCA\/viewform\">Holmg\u00e5ng 2026 Registration Form<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday 18th of April:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beginners\u2019 Longsword (morning)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Women&#8217;s Longsword (morning-midday)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Longsword (afternoon\/evening)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sunday 19th of April:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Single Rapier (morning)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Arming Sword &amp; Buckler (morning-midday)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Women&#8217;s Sabre (afternoon) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open Sabre (afternoon)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All finals (Bronze and Gold medal matches) will take place at the end of each respective day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Beginners\u2019 Longsword discipline is aimed at fencers who have no or little experience competing in Longsword. (There are however no definite limitations regarding previous competition attendance or performance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Women\u2019s tournaments are open to all women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Open tournaments are open to all fencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire event will be hosted through HEMA-Scorecard where schedules, brackets, results and more will be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BRING YOUR OWN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmg\u00e5ng fencers are asked to&nbsp;<strong><em><u>bring their own weapons<\/u><\/em><\/strong>. All of the most common manufacturer&#8217;s common models are likely to be fine (e.g. SIGI, Regenyei, Kvetun, Pike, Darkwood, etc). More detailed weapon requirements and further information can be found within the ruleset.&nbsp;A limited number of weapons will also be available for rent from SPIFF at a price of 250 SEK per weapon and discipline. Please reach out to the Holmg\u00e5ng team beforehand if you wish to rent a weapon (beginners will be prioritised).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Payment and Deadlines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The registration fee will be 200 SEK base fee + 500 SEK per discipline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your spot in the tournament is secured only after we have received the registration fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an option you may also pre-order a Holmg\u00e5ng sports shirt when registering (registration and payment required before <strong>15th of March<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Staffing discount<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As Holmg\u00e5ng is increasing in scope, we&#8217;ll be needing more judges and scorekeepers than former years. To fill these positions we are therefore opening-up staffing to competitors willing to help out.&nbsp;Signing-up does not guarantee a spot as a judge nor scorekeeper as we will only reach out to a limited number of competitors as the need arises.&nbsp; A competitor will receive a 200 SEK discount per discipline judged and 100 SEK discount per discipline acting as scorekeeper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Charity prize pool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As in earlier editions of Holmg\u00e5ng there will be a charity prize pool. Each fencer will be allowed to choose one of four charities to champion. The further the fencer advances in any given discipline, the larger portion of the prize pool will be donated to their championed charity. Together with our participants and sponsors we last year donated a total of 14 000 SEK to the charities&nbsp;<em>Givewell<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Naturskyddsf\u00f6reningen<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>UNICEF&nbsp;<\/em>and<em>&nbsp;WWF<\/em>.&nbsp;We encourage all who wish and can, to contribute to the prize pool by donation. All donations matter, however small. You may choose to donate a sum in conjunction with registering, or at a later time via swish or bank transfer. Donations are of course entirely voluntary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any problems, feel free to reach out to the Holmg\u00e5ng team at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:holmgang.competition@gmail.com\">holmgang.competition@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ruleset<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/spiffaktning.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Holmgang-ruleset-2026-draft.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Holmg\u00e5ng ruleset - 2026 draft.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-489f438e-da1a-4a6f-af48-0a06625c74ab\" href=\"https:\/\/spiffaktning.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Holmgang-ruleset-2026-draft.pdf\">Holmg\u00e5ng ruleset &#8211; 2026 draft<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/spiffaktning.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Holmgang-ruleset-2026-draft.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-489f438e-da1a-4a6f-af48-0a06625c74ab\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2025<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Holmg\u00e5ng 2025 took place at Eriksdalshallen as a 2-day event on the <strong>26-27th of April<\/strong>.
