Cardboard Tube Fighting League

Captures from the video.
The Seattle Cardboard Tube Fighting league hosted a tournament: Saturday in Philadelphia on the Art Museum steps (made famous in Rocky),and Sunday in McCarren Park, Brooklyn, New York. It was a free event, and the League provided the lightweight cardboard tubes. You want your tube to survive the duel while your opponent’s is destroyed. This is a pretty random process, as when tubes clash yours is as likely to break as the one you are striking. The real agenda is to have fun. I came home with a few scrapes but was otherwise unharmed.
Armor Cam: I made hole in my cardboard breast-plate so I could safely place the camera beneath my armor to capture the action. Unfortunately I had my camera set on the lo-res setting. Oops!
The Melees, a free-for-all after the competition.
My epic battle, see me cower from the vicious tail slashing dragon. Captured by Anonymous Agent:
